Windows 11 releases new update with more than 10 fixes and new features

Step by step. That’s how it is Microsoft solves problems this recently happened in Windows 11 and can be said to represent the most serious wave of bugs to occur in a long time. Blue screens of death, crashes, compatibility issues and other misfortunes plague the operating system with problems. Luckily, the company already has a new update to help you keep putting on the patches.

This is version KB5046740.

This update is not required because it does not resolve any security issues, so you will have to get it manually if you want to apply it now. If you don’t, you’ll get it when the next security update is released in a few days. What’s interesting is that, as we said, Microsoft is addressing some of the issues that have arisen recently around its operating system.

In addition, some new features have been introduced. And while none of them are going to radically change your life or the way you use Windows 11, they are always welcome. The update number is KB5046740 and You can get it by going into settingsthen in Windows Update and click “Check for updates”. The only thing we need to keep in mind is that you might prefer to wait a bit as there are already a few bugs found on Windows 11 24-hour computers that have applied this update.

What’s new?

Let’s start with some things that have been fixed. One of them was the slowdown in the pace of work, caused, in some cases, when you had a second screen connected. Of course, this does not happen to all users, but those who suffered from it complained, especially those who use a second screen for work. Along with stuttering, there were also cases where the image on the second monitor appeared to flicker, suggesting a possible problem with the cable connection. In addition to this, we also fixed a bug where the clipboard history could display absolutely nothing.

In addition, there are new features such as a new system for sharing content on Android phones connected through a conductor, as mentioned earlier. An adjustment has also been made to the system tray so that the date and time are displayed more compactly. Microsoft mentions that the notification icon will now not appear if we have Do Not Disturb mode activated. In addition, there are some adjustments to other elements, such as the Narrator system, which has been significantly improved in almost most of its functions. For example, a noticeable improvement can be seen in the text-to-speech system, as well as vice versa, from voice to text.

After publishing this update KB5046740, Microsoft mentioned that due to the dates of our meeting, There will be no additional update in December. Yes, the security guard we mentioned earlier will be launched. After that, the next versions of Windows 11 that will appear will correspond to January 2025. Therefore, taking into account that, as we have already said, new bugs have already been discovered after this update, perhaps the timing and this rest period may not be the most convenient for the platform.

In any case, Microsoft has already knows about problems and difficulties that he encountered in this year 2024, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they noticed. It would be logical to start 2025 by introducing new features or changes that will at least prevent similar update incidents from continuing.
