Build 22543, according to the official notes, updates the media controls that appear on the Lock screen for supported apps using a design similar to the media controls available through the Quick Settings flyout. However, these controls will always use the dark color mode to match the Lock screen environment. This flight also tweaks the visual effect when resizing apps in the snap layouts by overlaying the relevant app “icon” on top of the acrylic background. Other improvements include a new confirmation flyout when muting the call using the Windows key + ALT + K keyboard shortcut. The design for the “Storage Spaces” and “Disks & Volume” settings have been updated to match the Settings design style. This is the design available on the “Disks & Volumes” page. Windows 11 build 22543 also introduces new natural voices for the Narrator feature. According to the company, these more “natural voices enable Narrator users to enjoy scenarios like browsing the web, reading, and authoring mail, and more.” These new voices use modern, on-device text to speech, and, once downloaded, they are supported without an internet connection. Natural Narrator voices are available in English-U.S. If you want to use the new Natural Voices, open Narrator and click the “Install now” button. Under the “Add natural voices” section, click the “Add” button. Choose either the “Jenny” or “Aria” voice, and click the “Install” button. Furthermore, build 22543 also brings new Narrator commands to make it easier for users to switch voices, including:
Narrator + Alt + the Minus key – move to the previous voice settings combo box. Narrator + Alt + the Plus key – move to the next voice settings combo box.
Updated keyboard commands include:
Narrator + Alt + the Left Bracket key – move to the previous punctuation reading mode. Narrator + Alt + the Right Bracket key – move to the next punctuation reading mode.
Finally, when doing a full build upgrade of Windows 11, the progress ring animation has been updated, aligning with the new progressive ring animation instead of an animated circle of dots.
