Microsoft's new version of Windows 11 Dev 22572 released!

Just now, Microsoft updated Windows 11 Dev Insider Preview Build 22572. This release adds Microsoft Family and Clipchamp as inbox apps, and the update section also includes other new features.

Starting next week, Microsoft will begin rolling out a search update in Windows 11 called "search highlights" that will highlight interesting moments from around users in a timely manner.

Compared with the old version, the new Win11 Dev 22572 version has a series of improvements and fixes, and adds support for explorer tabs (vivetool addconfig 34370472 2). Now, Windows Insiders users can try out the new Microsoft Defender preview builds (English and US only).

What's New in Windows 11 Dev 22572

Microsoft Family：

From now on, Microsoft Family is a new native app, and the "Family Safety Features" that users use on the web and mobile are now available on Windows 11 as well.

With Parental Controls set up, you can filter inappropriate apps and games, and set browsing of kid-friendly sites for Microsoft Edge to help kids balance screen time activity on Windows, Xbox, and Android, and better understand with activity reports Home network data activity.

The Microsoft Family app will only be available as an inbox app on Windows 11 Home edition and will be updated through the Microsoft Store.

Windows Insiders with Windows 11 Pro can go to Settings > Accounts > Family and download the Microsoft Family app from the Store.

Clipchamp：

Now Clipchamp is a new native app. Clipchamp is a brand new video editor dedicated to making simple, fast and fun videos. Clipchamp comes with all the basic tools users expect, including trimming, splitting, and other professional-style features like transitions and animated text, plus a built-in webcam and screen recorder for real-time content capture.

The biggest difference between Clipchamp and other video editing apps is its "Timeline" feature, which retains the flexibility of timeline editing and the ability to fine-tune details and removes other unnecessary features, resulting in a refreshingly simple video Editing experience, anyone can easily get started.

Inventory on Clipchamp has over 1 million royalty-free videos, audio tracks, and images you can add to your videos, and there's even an Azure text-to-speech generator capable of creating narration in over 70 languages. Additionally, Clipchamp connects with OneDrive so users can import files and save videos quickly and securely.

Search highlights:

Starting early next week, Microsoft will begin rolling out a search update in Windows 11, where the latest trends in the current, world, and organization can be discovered right on the taskbar and in windows. Of course, users can still type online to start searching for apps, files, settings, and quick answers.

The search box in Start & Search will be regularly updated to include interesting illustrations to help users discover more information, even as they update to the latest information to stay productive.

The Search highlights feature will present noteworthy and interesting moments such as holidays, anniversaries and other meaningful moments in time globally and in the user's region. At the same time, users will find rich and fresh content in the search home.

Users can also explore other content related to the current moment in the search homepage, as well as daily content such as daily vocabulary, Microsoft Rewards, trending searches, and more. The left side of the search home also shows an expanded list of the user's recently published apps, files, settings, and websites to help get back to where you were last time.

By logging in with an account, Search will be a one-stop shop for users to get their organization's files and contacts through Microsoft Search, and the Search highlights feature will display the latest updates from the user's organization as well as suggested people, files, and more. In addition, you can browse files that may be of interest to users, or browse an organization's people charts.

Of course, users can control the display experience of Search highlights, if you don't want to see it, you can turn it off or on again in "Settings > Privacy & Security > Search Settings", then toggle "Show Search highlights display".

It’s worth noting that Search highlights also appear in the Windows 10 search box, and users can get the same update in the search box and search homepage. The feature, which will begin rolling out early next week, won't be available to all Insiders right away, as Microsoft plans to monitor feedback to see how it's implemented before rolling out to everyone.

Additionally, starting now, Windows Insiders can download and preview Microsoft Defender, a new Windows, Android and iOS app that helps protect users and their families' data and devices from online threats. The key to Microsoft Defender is the ability to view and manage a user's online safety in one central dashboard view, across devices and family's devices. Additionally, malware and phishing protection can be added on mobile devices. The ability to view home devices is currently only available in the Windows app, and the English and US versions of Microsoft Defender Preview are only available in Preview.

In addition to the above, Microsoft also revealed that it will be hosting a Bug Bash on the latest Insider Preview builds from March 16-March 22 (follow the Feedback Hub under the Announcements section, where Microsoft will release details closer to the date) ).
