- added Copilot (AI helper in the middle of your screen) - start menu items show more info when you move your mouse over them - quick settings in the taskbar bar - better volume control, now different for each app instead of one big sound - ads can now be placed around the screen - taskbar icons changed to "never combine" so they don't merge with other apps - labels appeared on desktops when you moved between them - it is now possible to hide the date and time in your settings - notifications show up as a bell icon with colors from your favorite pictures - some banner messages got a new look - developer option to close an app from the taskbar quickly (turning this off by default) - added network health check right next to the start button - new file explorer powered by WinUI - changes made for sharing files between computers - added Windows Backup app (works even if you are not on work or school accounts) - new emojis appear in your list of friends and settings - voices now exist so narrators can speak better - Windows Speech can now read words instead of just saying things - passkeys act as a safe password to log into websites and apps without typing passwords again - advanced protection against fake phishing pages on the Win Defender tool - automatic color management for SDR mode improves how colors look in apps (10-bit colors plus a higher panel recommended) - some Windows settings changed. This is just a preview, so it might still be installed even if you don't see changes yet until Microsoft releases an update. On my computer though, I already have these changes enabled!

KB 5030310 is just a preview version right now: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au...-p...a2a5682faf KB 5030509 comes as the real full update, not just a preview: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...n-...116fe164ba Dynamic lighting needs more fixing and isn't compatible with all devices yet. It's still work in progress, maybe it will be ready in ten years.

That actually made things worse. I used to have Windows Update (WU) when I was on Stable, and others probably did too. So Copilot installed fine, but WU never saw the finish. When I looked at the update list, it wasn't even listed there.

I looked at my update history and can't find the code for that update. It's not showing as installed, but all the features I have on the computer are there, and it came with 5030310 instead. That is weird because it says in other updates.

Microsoft pushed back on 23H2 for a long time. Now, Moment 4 (which includes the two updates I talked about) is already here and has most of the features that were supposed to come out in 23H2. If you can't get either one mentioned above, I'd recommend doing a repair install - https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-ins...grade.418/ because this option might not show up again.
