Microsoft has taken a significant step forward with the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.4452, allowing users to finally reposition the audio volume pop-up. This update introduces a refreshing level of customization, enabling users to adjust the placement of various hardware indicators, including brightness, volume, airplane mode, and virtual desktops. The options now include the traditional bottom center, as well as top left and top center placements.
Enhanced Recall Features
In this latest build, Microsoft is also enhancing the Recall feature, aiming to streamline user experience. The introduction of a personalized homepage for Recall allows users to quickly access their recent activities and frequently used applications and websites. This new interface prominently displays the most recent snapshots captured by Recall, along with a curated selection of the top three applications and websites that users have engaged with over the past 24 hours.
Users have the flexibility to manage which applications are captured by Recall, ensuring that sensitive apps, such as banking applications, can be excluded from this feature. This thoughtful addition aims to provide a more tailored experience while maintaining user privacy.
Additionally, the update addresses some minor issues, including a glitch that caused the nostalgic Windows Vista boot sound to play instead of the intended Windows 11 sound during startup. Improvements have also been made to File Explorer, enhancing overall functionality.
