New Windows 11 preview comes with a new widget and acrylic context menus - XDA Developers

Today, Microsoft is releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview build 22000.71 to the Dev channel. It seems to be the case that the company isn’t going to be seeding a lot of new features through the Windows Insider Program. It looks like what we have is what we’re going to get, with the exception of some already-announced features that are still missing, like Teams integration and Android app support.

For Windows 11 preview build 2000.71, there are some small changes. There’s a new entertainment widget that you can put in the new Widgets section. You can select a movie from it and it will bring you to the Microsoft Store. Of course, no streaming boxes actually support Microsoft’s platform unless you have an Xbox, so forget about purchasing on your PC and watching on your TV.

Context menus are changing, as they’ll now make use of acrylic material. Also, previews in the taskbar are finally being updated with the Windows 11 look, so they’ll have rounded corners.

That’s about it for the new features in this build. Again, it seems like Microsoft is back to its standard method of pushing out Windows Insider Previews that don’t really have anything exciting in them. Still, it’s the path to the release of a new operating system.

As usual, there are a whole bunch of fixes:

Windows 11 preview build 22000.71 known issues

• [REMINDER] When upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10 or when installing an update to Windows 11, some features may be deprecated or removed. See details here.
• Start:
  • In some cases, you might be unable to enter text when using Search from Start or the Taskbar. If you experience the issue, press WIN + R on the keyboard to launch the Run dialog box, then close it.
  • Based on feedback, we are working on adding access keys to WIN + X so that you can do things like “WIN + X M” to launch Device Manager. Insiders may see this functionality in this build, however we are currently investigating an issue in which sometimes the option is unexpectedly unavailable.
• Taskbar:
  • There is an issue in this build where Explorer.exe will crash when the date and time button on the Taskbar is clicked to access new notifications with Focus Assist turned off. The workaround for this is to enable Focus assist to priority or alarms mode. Note that when focus assist is turned on, notification popups won’t appear, but they will be in the notification center when opened.
  • The Taskbar will sometimes flicker when switching input methods.
  • Taskbar previews may draw partially offscreen.
• Settings:
  • When launching the Settings app, a brief green flash may appear.
  • When using Quick Settings to modify Accessibility settings, the settings UI may not save the selected state.

If you’re on the Dev channel, you can get Windows 11 Insider Preview build 22000.71 through Windows Update. If you want to enroll your Windows 10 PC, you can go to Settings -> Update & security -> Windows Insider Program to get started. You’ll need a PC that meets the new system requirements, of course. If you’re waiting for Windows 11 to arrive in the Beta channel, that should arrive this month.
