Honestly I wish they would remove the recommended from the start menu you when you turn off recommendations. It stands out as an annoyance to me. 🤷‍♂️

I like it showing me recent apps and files. The problem I have the recommended section is that it shows files from all over the system. It will show pictures I recently took on my phone, which I don't care in having there. It will show some rando config file of some app. I already got an icon image that I was working on from a personal project in there. If I can say "Documents" folder only, or define the file extensions (so that I can add Project folders, but only have the IDE workspace/project file to show), it would be a lot more useful for me.

Not cool. [rhetorical] what is I cant get internet, will it not let me use the device? Dumb.

I know that is over reacting but still.

I don't mind, personally. However, I am all for choice. So an option for an offline account should be there.

Silly features like using how one uses their systems for ads, should not be there. Keep it as an option to sign up to join into the ecosystem, and usability benefits (example: sync between systems), and not on user activity tracking. I think this will help make sure be more comfortable in making an account instead of opting for offline account.

I am late to the party, sorry, I was busy. But a new build has arrived.

Didn't really reserved time on my day as it is minor one, with all the feature in A/B testing and limited release... soo probably few will get them.

I have none of them, on any of my devices, so can't take screen shots. I'll just post whatever MS posted.

 

Build 22563

For Touch screen devices, when no keyboard is attached, the task bar will now go in this collapsed mode. Swiping up will show the full task bar, like so:
 

tablet-taskbar-graphic.png

 

Microsoft says:

Quote

There are two states of this taskbar: collapsed and expanded. In the collapsed state, the taskbar gets out your way, gives you more screen space, and prevents you from accidentally invoking the taskbar when you’re holding your tablet. In the expanded state, the taskbar is optimized to be easier to use with touch. You can easily switch between the two states by swiping up and down on the bottom of your device.

The option is under: Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors

 

Minor layout improvements on the Widget panel:
 

widgetsnew.png

Basically the "Add Widget" button is now next to the profile icon at the top right of the panel.

 

 

New Bluetooth Management panel:

 

bluetooth-quick-settings.png

 

When you click on the "Bluetooth" button (or arrow next to it), I am not sure, I don't have it as I mentioned, but the above panel will show, where you can see your device battery life when connected (assuming they support this feature) and quickly connect/disconnect your devices.

I can't wait to try this feature. It is something that is very practical.

 

 

Windows Snap Improvement

Suggested Snap window, now considers recent Edge tabs

Quote

We’ve made it even easier to snap the most relevant windows next to each other side by side by introducing Microsoft Edge tabs as suggested windows in snap assist. When a window is snapped, you will now see 3 of your most recent Edge tabs shown (by default) as suggestions. You can always control whether to show Microsoft Edge tabs and number of tabs shown when snapping or pressing ALT + TAB via Settings > System > Multitasking.

 

Emoji:

37 new emoji as part of Emoji 14.0

Lock Screen

Accessibility panel now has been updated to Windows 11 look & feel:

access-flyout.jpg

 

 

Task Manager:

Quote
  • Search from Quick Access has been expanded to include content from your OneDrive, Downloads, and any indexed location. Use Quick Access to find results fast.
  • Files in Quick Access without any local presence (for example, files shared to you from another OneDrive) now show thumbnails and work with OneDrive sharing.

Build 22567

 

Windows Update

Windows Update can adapt to your energy grid to reduce carbon footprint.

Basically, it will attempt to schedule update installations at specific times of day when doing so results in lower carbon emissions.

Of course, this doesn't apply if you manually check for updates.

To do this, Microsoft will use the data it partnered up with: electricityMap and WattTime.

 

406116568_Screenshot2022-03-03122642.thumb.png.7e2a6e311f7a39d9404c0f481b5380ec.png

In my case, 100% renewable (Hydro), so I guess it will do update whenever it feels like, as before.

 

 

When enabled, you'll see this text show under Windows Update:

wu-carbon.png

 

 

Settings

Accounts section under Settings panel, now give you a bit more information about your subscriptions.

Freemium-in-Account-L1.png

You now see which plan you are on, and how much OneDrive space you are consuming and how much you have.

 

Bluetooth

Remember the Bluetooth panel? Well it now available to all. Same for Task Manager.

 

OOBE

A new page/screen (whatever you want to call it) has been added to teh experience to setup Your Phone when you first start Windows 11 for the first time.

oobe-phone-linking.png

This change will be available in the coming up ISO of this new build.

 

Security

Smart App Control (SAC) is a new security feature part of Windows Security/Defender where when enabled it can block untrusted or potentially dangerous applications.

Microsoft notes that this feature can only be enabled on Windows devices that have performed a clean install with the latest Insider Preview build.

 

Microsoft says:

Quote

 SAC is first configured in evaluation mode. While SAC is in evaluation mode, it will learn if it can help protect you without getting in your way too much. If so, it will automatically be turned on. Otherwise, it will automatically be turned off.  While in evaluation mode, a user can manually turn on SAC in the Windows Security app under the App & Browser Control section. More details on this feature will be shared in the future.

 

Open With

Open With dialog box got a much needed rework!

open-with-before-after.png

 

Beside the new Windows 11 look:

  • The checkbox "Always use this app to open...", which was often missed has now been replaced by a button "Always".
  • The "OK" button has been replaced with "Just once".
  • It also provide suggested apps that it knows can handle the file extension you selected, and of course, you have the the full list of apps bellow it.
  • In addition, you can more easily pick a Win32 desktop application with the option "Choose an app on your PC" which, as in the past (Win7 and earlier), pick an executable directly.

I am very happy to see these improvements. The old one was simply aimed to push people to the Store since Windows 8. Now, Microsoft takes a step back and gives you the option we used to have back in Win7 and earlier.

 

Start menu

When you drag a pinned app icon over another, it will now show a small animation indicating that a folder will be made.

 

Windowing

For touch screen devices, a new animation and gesture for minimizing and restoring all window has been added. A 3-finger swipe down/up

WIP-3-Finger-DownUp-MinimizeRestore.gif

 

When you minimize all, the task bar, as you notice, automatically expands allowing you launch (or pick) your next application/folder

 

Voice Typing

Voice typing has been improved with anew navigational commands.

It can now handle "Enter", "Backspace", "Space", "Tab" actions by saying them when needed based on the program you are using.

 

Windows Sandbox

It now support mapped folders now support relative paths

 

Task Manager

The new Task Manager is now available to all.

New Build! 22572

 

New App - Bundled with Windows 11: Microsoft Family

The app aims to help parent manage child accounts. Previously you needed to go online for this, now you have an app with a focus on this.

Family-app-final.thumb.png.489280bf5572d2995b90d3d421805224.png

 

 

New App - Bundled with Windows 11: Clipchamp

Clipchamp is Microsoft last acquisition. It a movie editor with a timeline.

Clipchamp-editor-med.gif

 

It can load videos, record webcam, or desktop. It has a suit of templates, transitions, sample images and clips all ready to go. You can insert text, gifs, music. You can trim trim, and more. Of course, it has OneDrive integration. In summary, it is closer to Movie Maker than Final Cut Pro by considerable margins, as you can imagine. From me quickly playing with it, it seem to be much better than the video editor in the Photo app.

 

This app has a paid service attached. There is a free plan which limits you to 480p video exports though.

The app is cloud based and is really a PWA app. (I must admit, I am pretty impressed tech wise)

The paid service aspect could ensure that this app continue to develop with updates and improvements. I mean, technically speaking, it has an incentive to do so.

 

Search

Starting next week, and insiders will see an improvement to the search panel of Windows 11.

Search highlight panel.
 

It drops, "Quick searches" section which I don't think anyone really used, and "top apps" which is really a duplicated of "recommended" and "Most used" sections of the Start menu, in favor of putting what Microsoft calls: "Search highlights" which will present current holidays, and events which of course will open Edge to the respective Bing page.
 

Search-highlights-Consumer-final-cropped.png

 

If the system is part of an enterprise, the Search panel will focus on company content instead of Bing, like so:
Search-highlights-Enterprise.png

 

If you want non of that, it CAN be turned off, Microsoft says. Just go to: Settings > Privacy & security > Search settings, and turn off “Show search highlights”

 

Print Queue app has been updated (Honestly, I saw this app before, and it never worked for me.... maybe now it will work?!)

print-queue.png

 

You have a better view compared to the old app of what is in the printer queue list. At least that is the idea.

You should see print jobs with a preview of content (at least for images, not sure about documents)

 

Quick Assist - Icon update

Quick Assist icon finally got updated to the Fluent Design:

quick-assist.png

 

Same for Windows Sandbox:

sandbox-icon.png

 

Focus

When focus settings, there is now an icon instead of the moon

dnd-new-icon.png

 

WMIC is back

Microsoft makes a step back on the removal of WMIC to software and scripts breaking who were using this legacy component, but is now an optional feature that needs to be installed via: Settings > Apps > Optional Features

 

 

Other changes:

Quote

It seems like Microsoft has kicked development of Windows 11 into high gear. I really like some of the things they are showing in the dev channel. At this rate I might install Windows 11 later this year. I still think they rushed it and it is at most half-baked in its current state though.

Well, guess I'll have to take this back.

 

I was starting to like Windows 11 and then Microsoft shoves a bunch of terrible things into it, like ads in Explorer.

They are also going to add a bunch of crap to the search in Windows 11. No Microsoft, I do not want to see some random quirky picture, or some "trendy Bing search" when I open the start function on my PC. How about you make local search usable before you add shitty Bing online search.

That's the crap that Windows 10 has. Glad it's still there. I mean, it wouldn't be Windows without it.

Anyways, to turn it off:

Yea, I posted this.

It's optional, turn on by default of course. More useful for business environment. See pictured on the last release, 5th-6th from this one

So Windows support "Desktop" where you can have different desktops for different requirement, but can we have different "Desktop" set on different monitors? 
Basically if I set up 3 programs on one desktop via windows snap and another program on second monitor, the minimize all tab only minimizes program on the current monitor. Is that possible somehow?

I don't think it is possible. I don't have a dual screen setup to test.

So it looks like Microsoft has updated the plans of ClipChamp, it's newly acquired PWA video player editor, that will be built-in into Windows 11 in the future.
 

1673715412_Screenshot2022-03-29153306.thumb.png.e9870cd627a408dadd9ece81cd3b0d26.png

 

It no longer has the 480p and 720p plan limitations for exports on the Basic and Creator plans. Now all plans, even the free one, offers 1080p export support.

 

This makes the plans offered make a lot more sense then before. The lowest brand with 1080p support was the Business plan. At twice the price of Creator, it offered nothing more (beside 1080p), "Brand kit" feature. This feature is just a way to setup a company template design that can be applies to all videos made in the app. Great for businesses who likes to make videos internally with ease, but useless for consumers.

 

As you can see, there is no 4K option, but I suspect the target audience of this app won't care too much about it. Those that do, most likely would get an alternative, professional, program, like Adobe Premier.

 

So now, the plans makes sense. With 1080p video export on the Free plan, it open doors for new creators on YouTube or just at a personal level (think for those who likes to do family video's type of content) to actually have an incentive to give the app a spin, and see if it is like the the balance of ease of use and flexibility it provides to them in getting started in video creation.

 

If they like it, they might be interested in jumping in to with the unlimited storage feature offered by the basic paid plan called: Creator, and also get easy access to unlimited stock audio (assuming they are good), So, to me, it now makes sense. I can see the though process. 

 

I just hope that the app, while looks fine glancing at it, I hope they continue to improve it to justify the subscription fees. I hate to see a Movie Maker type of situation, where the app never really progresses forward once it was made. Another example, the Photo app video making feature, which started basic with some cool little gimmicks for casuals or new user into making videos, but sadly went nowhere after been released.

New Build 22593

 

Tabs are official (but we don't have it)

That is right, Microsoft is going to add tabs to File Explorer, and even presented at its "Hybrid work" keynote event, yesterday.

Sadly, it is not ready for us yet. When I tried it by forcing enabling it in teh past builds, I had to turn off, as it was indeed buggy and missing basic features... like... dragging a file explorer properly.

 

But here is what we have:

 

  • Quick Access on the side navigation has been renamed to Home.
    In addition, it introduces a new section called Favorite. That is a way for YOU to pin files there (I upgraded and I don't have the option... but I recall they showed this at the keynote.. so maybe you'll have it)file-explorer-home.png

     

    Microsoft says:

    Quote

    The default homepage of File Explorer is now called Home. The name Quick access has been repurposed for the pinned/frequent folders section and Pinned files is now called Favorites to align with Office and OneDrive.

     

  • In addition, these items are also searchable in the search box, even though the location is not there.
     
  • Microsoft Journal is no longer a garage app, and has been upgraded to an official app. This also means that it will show up in the pen menu.
    If you click on it, and you don't have it installed, it will install it. Microsoft didn't say if it will be an in-box app.
    journal-pen-menu.png
     
  • Another way to snap windows:
    Win+Z and pick a layout number, and pick which side you want the window to be place.
    So for example, if you have say, your web browser, and you want it to take the left side of your screen, you can do: Win+Z, then hit 1 and 1 again.
    For right side: Win+Z, then hit 1 and 2.
    An on screen indicator will guide you through:

Fixes:

Quote

General

  • Fixed a few more issues impacting explorer.exe reliability in recent flights.

  • Fixed an issue where app icons were unexpectedly animating in from the upper left when launching a new app.
  • Improved the performance of rearranging taskbar icons.

  • Tablet-optimized taskbar will now stay visible over full screen apps when expanded and only hide when you collapse it.
  • If you have multiple keyboards for your current language, the input indicator will now only show one row of text when the tablet-optimized taskbar is in a collapsed state, so that it doesn’t get clipped.
  • Fixed a crash that was causing taskbar to get stuck in the tablet-optimized taskbar view.
  • Settings will now remember your taskbar’s auto-hide setting more consistently.

  • Mitigated an issue causing the Notification Center and its context to sometimes show the wrong color text for the system’s theme, making it unreadable.
  • Updated the names of some of the months in the Simplified and Traditional Chinese lunar calendar to be more accurate.

 

Start menu

  • Updated the design of the folders in Start so that they’re a little bigger, making it easier to see the app icons highlighted within the folder without having to open it.
  • Fixed an issue where if you created a folder in Start in the same position as a deleted folder, it would show the old name.
  • If you tab into naming a folder in Start with your keyboard, you can now tab back out instead of having to hit Esc.
  • Fixed an issue where when using the keyboard to select options following WIN + X didn’t work. And dismissing WIN + X should be more consistent now.
  • Fixed an issue where the prompt wasn’t coming to the front when launching Windows Terminal as an admin from Start’s right-click context menu (WIN + X).
  • The search icon in the taskbar should no longer unexpectedly flash when closing the Start menu.

 

Search

  • Made some improvements to help with search indexer thread and memory usage for users with a very high number of indexed items.
  • Fixed an issue impacting search reliability (where you would type into the search window or Start and nothing would happen) in recent flights.
  • Made another fix to help address an issue where the search searches flyout could get stuck on the screen in a transparent area.

 

File Explorer

  • Improved performance of loading Home in File Explorer.
  • Fixed a scaling issue where the context menu could be an unexpected size when invoking it on systems with mixed DPI monitors.
  • Addressed an issue where the Show More Options entry in the context menu wasn’t working for items in File Explorer’s navigation pane (for example, if you were to right click on This PC).
  • Did some work to help reduce the chance you will see “Loading” for app entries in the context menu.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing the “Open in Windows Terminal” context menu option to be unexpectedly missing for secondary users in some cases.
  • Opening suggested results shown while entering search terms in File Explorer’s search box should now work as expected.
  • Mitigated an underlying issue leading to the address bar being inaccessible in certain cases.

Widgets

  • We fixed the issue where sometimes when pinning from the Feed, the pinned widget is placed at the top instead of below other pinned widgets.
  • We fixed the issue where after rearranging widgets in the widgets board, some users experience problems with widgets in the pinned section rendering incorrectly.

 

Input

  • Fixed an issue preventing several input UI surfaces from displaying following explorer.exe crashes in recent flights – this included the emoji panel, candidate windows, clipboard history, and the touch keyboard.
  • Mitigated an issue where Narrator was silent when launching the emoji panel in certain cases, for example if the search box wasn’t displayed.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing custom theme changes in Settings > Personalization > Text input to not save properly sometimes.
  • Addressed a few more color issues with the touch keyboard, including where after changing from dark to light mode, the touch keyboard might end up with a mix of dark and light.
  • Updated the touch keyboard button so that pressing it always shows the touch keyboard, rather than hiding it if it’s visible.
  • Returned the Backspace key to the touch keyboard’s small layout when using Chinese (Traditional).
  • Improved reliability of launching the touch keyboard on the login screen.

  • Fixed an issue where the IME toolbar wasn’t hiding and showing correctly when using the previous version of the Japanese IME.
  • Improved voice typing reliability.
  • Updated voice typing error message “Voice typing is limited on this app” to be “Some voice typing features might not work in this app”, so it’s a little clearer that basic voice typing will still work.
  • Fixed an issue causing some voice typing commands not to work, for example “scratch that” (刮除它) in Chinese (Simplified).
  • Addressed an issue where the setting “Disable Touch while using Pen” under Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Pen & Windows Ink would arbitrarily not take effect sometimes on first boot in recent flights.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Get-InstalledLanguage and Install-Language PowerShell commands to unexpectedly fail with error 0x8007023E for some languages.

 

Settings

  • If keyboard focus is on the chevron for a collapsible region on a Settings page, for example, the Snap windows section under System > Multitasking, you can now use the left and right arrows to expand and collapse the area.
  • Fixed an issue impacting reliability of System > Power & Battery.
  • When using the custom color picker on Personalization > Colors now, it should appear centered in the window frame and not randomly off to the side.
  • Setting your background image fit to “fit” under Personalization > Background should no longer cause the background image preview to become a solid color.

  • Fixed an issue that was letting keyboard focus go to elements in the contrast theme previews in Accessibility > Contrast Themes that you couldn’t interact with.

  • Fixed a DWM crash when rotating the screen.
  • Mitigated an issue leading to some lag when resizing two apps snapped side by side in certain cases.
  • Fixed an issue where snap assist could unexpectedly dismiss if the initial window wouldn’t fit into the selected zone size. Now we resize the snap assist regions accordingly when minimum window size of the initial snapped window is larger than the selected zone.
  • If you invoke Task View with touch, the close buttons should no longer overlap with the window titles.
  • Hovering your mouse over the tooltip with the Desktop’s name will no longer unexpectedly make the Desktops flyout dismiss.
  • Using drag and drop to reorder your Desktops via the Desktop flyout should no longer leave a thumbnail of the Desktop you moved stuck on the screen.

 

Voice access

  • Fixed a crash that was impacting voice access reliability.
  • Addressed an issue that was preventing voice access’s speech models from downloading correctly.

 

Live captions

  • Addressed an underlying issue leading to live captions showing a download error, even though the download had actually completed successfully.
  • Live captions will now remember your chosen settings for position across sessions.
  • Mitigated an issue where the live captions position changed to floating when entering full screen, but the settings incorrectly showed the last position still.
  • Removed the live captions notification about audio playing from multiple apps as it was popping up repeatedly during usage.
  • The border of the live captions window will now match the style of all other borders in contrast themes.

 

Narrator

  • We fixed the issue that was causing natural voices to break up sporadically in recent builds.
  • Narrator will now read out the word minutes with the duration times listed in Settings for focus options.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing Narrator to read dialog buttons incorrectly in scan mode.

 

Task Manager

  • Removed backplate (colored square) from UWP app icons were displayed in Task Manager.
  • Mitigated an issue where the one side of the View button did not appear to do anything.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing the real time update speed to get set to Paused on its own. Please note, if you were impacted by this, you will need to make a one-time change to set the setting back to your preferred update speed after upgrading to this build.

 

Other

  • Mitigated an issue which was leading to a black (albeit interactable) screen when playing certain full screen games with Auto HDR enabled.
  • Fixed a memory leak in Connected Devices Platform User Service.
  • The volume and brightness flyouts you get when using your hardware keys will no longer show a focus window outline on top of them.
  • If WIN + Alt + K is pressed when a supported app isn’t running, the pop-up text displayed will now say “No supported apps in use for mic mute”, instead of “Mic mute unavailable”, so it’s clearer.
  • Addressed an issue which was leading to unexpected errors being displayed in Event Viewer when conhost.exe was activated.

Any info why Windows 11, version 22H2 Insider Preview 10.0.22598.100 (ni_release) gives error during installation?
TPM on, Secure Boot on... I don't really know what I am looking for, because the installer doesn't give any error code.

You need to look at the Event Viewer to know what went wrong.

You should see a or some errors under: Windows Logs > System.

 

My guess, is driver related issue (as it is typically the case). Ensure that all your drivers (audio, chipset, printer, etc.. are all fully updated)

New Build: 22610

    It will also show the estimated battery life timing in the tooltip (assuming your laptop provides that info... right HP?)
     
  • Removal of the 'tablet-optimized taskbar' feature on tablets after receiving feedback. Microsoft reminds that Insider features under Beta and Dev channel might not always ship. That said, Microsoft said that they will continue to work on it, and may reintroduce it.
     
  • "Family Safety" widget is here, where you can lively monitor your child computer usage:
    family-safety-apps.png

This build also contains a mass number of bug fixes:
 

Quote

General

  • We fixed the issue causing Windows Insiders running Windows 10 who were trying to join the Dev or Beta Channels to encounter a download error code 0xc8000402 while trying to download the latest build. If you experienced this issue, please install KB5011831 and then try to download the latest build from either the Dev or Beta Channels.

File Explorer

  • Using the rename, copy, paste, delete, and other options context menu options in File Explorer or on the desktop should no longer cause explorer.exe to crash when the context menu dismisses.
  • Right-clicking on a file now reflects the updated naming in File Explorer and shows “Add to Favorites”.
  • Right-clicking on This PC in the Open or Save As dialog’s navigation pane should bring up the context menu again now.
  • Addressed an issue believed to be the underlying cause for File Explorer freezing when selecting a large number of files in recent builds.
  • We made some improvements to the performance of keyboard selection of images and zipped files in OneDrive folders.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing File Explorer to freeze frequently when WSL was installed, and WSL files were opened via Home.
  • To help with performance, when opening Home only images and videos will now show thumbnails.
  • Updated the tooltip for the “Please sign in” button in File Explorer from “Sign in again to fix authentication issues.” to “One of your accounts needs attention to show files from Office.com in Home”, so that its purpose is clearer.
  • We addressed an issue where the Sign In button in File Explorer might not work.
  • Fixed an explorer.exe crash related to loading recently used Office files in Home.

New build - 22581

 

Microsoft is preparing for finalization for the next version of Windows 11 to be released later this year to the public. Soon Dev and Beta channel will be in sync, allowing one to switch between branches.

 

What's changes:

  • Microsoft rolls back notification tray area to the original release of Windows 11 one. Allowing back the ability to move system tray icons around like Win10 and current Win11 official release. The downside is no longer having the panel with rounded corners (a smart move in my opinion). Microsoft said they'll bring it back once more improvement is done to the new (now removed) notification tray.

What's fixed:

Quote

General

  • We fixed an issue where performance and reliability of explorer.exe could degrade over time, eventually resulting in a bugcheck, in the recent Insider Preview builds.

 

Taskbar

  • We fixed the issue causing the “Show hidden icons” flyout in the system tray to disappear completely for some Insiders, even though it shows as “on” under Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and “Other system tray icons”.

 

Input

  • Fixed an issue which was leading to some apps crashing when pressing the half-width/full-width key while using the Japanese IME.

 

Widgets

  • Fixed an issue where if you tried to open the widgets board using a gesture from the side of the screen, you would see the widgets board open and then immediately close.
  • Fixed an issue where users were unable to use the swipe functionality to reliably invoke Widgets.

 

Settings

  • Fixed an issue that could cause Quick Settings to crash when projecting to certain wireless devices.

 

Windowing

  • Addressed an issue where using the 3-finger on-screen touch gesture for minimizing could cause animations to stop working across the system.
  • Fixed an issue impacting DWM reliability in recent flights.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing some apps like Settings to open blank if they were re-opened an upgrade or reboot.

 

Task Manager

  • We fixed an issue that was causing the process list to fluctuate between Apps & Background groups when clicking on Efficiency mode from the command bar

 

Windows Sandbox

  • Fixed an underlying issue which could cause some text in Windows Sandbox to appear as black boxes in certain cases.

 

Other

  • Fixed an issue leading to Windows Update notifications showing they were sent from “Windows.SystemToast.WindowsUpdate.MoNotification” instead of “Windows Update”.

New Inbox app is coming out: Sound Recorder

This app will replace Voice Recorder

 

soundRecorder-5-6-22.png

 

The app has the ability to switch input source, add markers to recordings, and change the recording format. As formats you have: m4a, MP3, WMA, FLAC and WAV. You can also import audio recording for editing. You can also change the playback speed (up to x4, and down to x0.25)

 

https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/05/10/reimagining-the-apps-included-with-windows-11/

 

To get it, simply open the Store, and check for app updates.

The app is not complete, and is in Beta/Preview.

I assume m4a is AAC, correct?

 

The new app seems nice but I don't get why Microsoft hates Opus so much.

It's free (as in freedom and free beer) and performs exceptionally well at voice recording, which is what most people will probably use that app for. It's not that it's a niche format either.
