New! This update adds live captions for the following languages:
Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)
French (France, Canada)
German
Italian
Japanese
Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal)
Spanish
Danish
English (Ireland, other English dialects)
Korean
To turn on live captions, use the WIN + Ctrl + L keyboard shortcut. You can also use the Quick Settings accessibility flyout menu. When you turn it on for the first time, Windows will ask you to download the required speech recognition support. Speech recognition support might not be available in your preferred language, or you might want support in other languages. You can download speech recognition support from Settings / Time & Language / Language & region.
New! This update redesigns the in-app voice access command help page. Every command now has a description and examples of its variations. The search bar allows you to quickly find commands. The new categories provide further guidance. You can access the command help page on the voice access bar from Help / View all commands or use the voice access command “what can I say?” Note that the help page might not include all commands. Also, the supplementary information might be inaccurate. We plan to update this in the future. For a list of all Voice Access commands, see Use voice access to control your PC & author text with your voice.
New! This update adds voice access command support for the following English dialects:
English (United Kingdom)
English (India)
English (New Zealand)
English (Canada)
English (Australia)
When you turn on voice access for the first time, Windows will ask you to download a speech model. You might not find a speech model that matches your display language. You can still use voice access in English (US). You can always choose a different language from Settings / Language on the voice access bar.
New! This update adds a VPN status icon, a small shield, to the system tray. It displays when you are connected to a recognized VPN profile. The VPN icon will be overlayed in your system’s accent color over the active network connection.
New! You can now choose to display seconds in the clock on the system tray. To turn this on, go to the Taskbar behaviors section in Settings / Personalization / Taskbar. You can also right-click taskbar to quickly get to taskbar settings.
New! This update adds access key shortcuts to File Explorer’s context menu. An access key is a one keystroke shortcut. You can use it to quickly run a command in a context menu using your keyboard. Each access key corresponds to a letter in the display name of the menu item. To try this out, you can click on a file in File Explorer and press the menu key on your keyboard.
New! This update introduces live kernel memory dump (LKD) collection from Task Manager. Using LKD, you can gather data to troubleshoot an issue while the OS continues to work. This reduces downtime when you must investigate an unresponsive program or high-impact failures. To learn more, see Task Manager live memory dump.
To capture an LKD, go to Task Manager / Details. Right-click the System process. Select Create live kernel memory dump file. This captures a Full live kernel or Kernel stack memory dump. The dump will be written to a fixed location: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\TaskManager\LiveKernelDumps. You can also go to the Task Manager Settings page to view or edit the settings for live kernel memory dumps.
New! This update replaces the settings for Show the touch keyboard when there’s no keyboard attached. These are located at Settings / Time & language / Typing / Touch keyboard. A new dropdown menu gives you three options to control whether tapping an edit control should open the touch keyboard.
New! This update improves the performance of search within Settings.
New! This update changes the default print screen (prt scr) key behavior. Pressing the print screen key opens the Snipping Tool by default.
New! This update introduces a limit of 20 most recent tabs in Settings / Multitasking. This affects the number of tabs that appear when you use ALT + TAB and Snap Assist.
