KB5046714, the final Beta update to Windows 10 brings important updates to Microsoft Store

Microsoft released the KB5046714 patch to Windows 10 22H2. This rollout, the final update to the Beta Channel, includes new features and improvements, including adding a Recommended section to the Start menu on Windows 10. This section will suggest Microsoft Store apps from a small set of curated developers.

The Recommended section of the Start menu will show some Microsoft Store apps. These apps come from a small set of curated developers, and they will help you discover some of the great available apps. To turn this off, go to Settings > Personalization > Start. Turn off the toggle to show suggestions occasionally at the start.

KB5046714 includes the following features and improvements for Windows 10, including:

• App list backup: Fixed: Win32 shortcuts might not back up to the cloud.
• Copy cloud files: Fixed: Drag-and-drop files from a cloud file provider folder might result in a move instead of a copy.
• Motherboard replacement: Fixed: Windows does not activate after you replace a motherboard.
• Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA): Fixed: This update brings profiles up to date for certain mobile operators.
• Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) printer: Fixed: Windows stops responding when you use an IPP USB printer.
