On the other hand, the updates also add support for Bluetooth Low Energy audio. If you remember, this particular feature will let you use your wireless Bluetooth headphones much longer while providing the same audio quality.
The technology doesn’t take a lot of your devices’ battery, allowing for a sustainable way to enjoy your music, podcasts, and whatever you’re listening to.
Here’s the list of the other improvements coming to Windows 11 with this new update.
Improvements

For Microsoft Office apps, this issue only affects the 32-bit versions. You might receive the error, “Document not saved.”
- This update addresses a compatibility issue. The issue occurs because of unsupported use of the registry.
- This update addresses an issue that affects the Windows Kernel. This issue is related to CVE-2023-32019. To learn more, see KB5028407.
