You surely remember that we’ve recently talked about the latest Moment 3 update for the Windows 11 operating system.

Well, there’s probably a detail you’ve missed, as Microsoft has deliberately kept the new software a secret from everyone.

Let’s get right into it and discover what exactly the Redmond-based tech company has prepared for all of us.

Check out all the new features for Windows 11

As we mentioned, Microsoft quietly released a Configuration update for Windows 11 version 22H2 last week as it delivered the latest Moment 3 feature update.

Know that this configuration update is a part of Microsoft’s Continuous Innovation and is released via the Controlled Feature Rollout (CFR) approach.

And, the reason why we are all here right now is to discuss the fact that the update brings the latest feature sooner to Windows 11 22H2 users.

In truth, this new software will also add live captions for the following languages:

  • Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)
  • French (France, Canada)
  • German
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal)
  • Spanish
  • Danish
  • English (Ireland, other English dialects)
  • Korean

Please keep in mind that you can quickly access this feature either with the Win + Ctrl + L keyboard shortcut, or through the Quick Settings accessibility flyout menu.

When you turn it on for the first time, the OS will ask you to download the required speech recognition support.

Another important detail is that speech recognition support might not be available in your preferred language, or you might want support in other languages.

Furthermore, this update redesigns the in-app voice access command help page, and every command now has a description and examples of its variations.

Let’s also mention that the search bar allows you to quickly find commands. The new categories provide further guidance.

Of course, the above-mentioned update adds voice access command support for the following English dialects:

  • English (United Kingdom)
  • English (India)
  • English (New Zealand)
  • English (Canada)
  • English (Australia)

We also received a VPN status icon, a small shield, to the system tray. It displays when you are connected to a recognized VPN profile.

Don’t forget that you can now choose to display seconds in the clock on the system tray, and you can also right-click the taskbar to quickly get to taskbar settings.

Microsoft also spoke of a copy button for you to quickly copy two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. These are in notification toasts you get from installed apps or from phones linked to your PC. 

The changelog also speaks of an access key shortcut to File Explorer’s context menu. An access key is a one-keystroke shortcut.

Note that you can use it to quickly run a command in a context menu using your keyboard. Each access key corresponds to a letter in the display name of the menu item.

If you are an administrator, you can specify the apps that can run on a device, while other apps will not run at all.

You can also block certain functionalities. You can configure distinct types of access and apps to run for different users on one device in Multi-app kiosk mode.

There’s a lot more to be known about this latest software, so we encourage you to check out the entire changelog and discover everything.
