Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.65 released; here are the changes and fixes it brings

Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.65 to the Dev Channel. The new version brings a few improvements and fixes, based on feedback from users.
What's new
While Windows 11 introduced a new Start Menu design, one feature remained identical to Windows 10's, the Search function. When you started typing something with the Start Menu in focus, the OS would switch slightly to the right, to focus on the Search interface.
Windows 11 Build 22000.65 adds a Search bar to the Start menu.
But it doesn't seem to change the search experience, i.e., clicking the search bar still jumps to the Search UI. This seems like a pointless change to me.
The new build reintroduces the Refresh item in the Desktop's right-click menu, this option was previously available in the Show more options sub-menu.
Another feature that's been brought back is the Troubleshoot Sound Problems menu, which appears when you right-click on the Volume icon in the system Tray.
Users with multiple monitors can enable the Taskbar to be displayed across all screens from Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar Behaviors > Show my Taskbar on All Displays. The Power and Battery page in the Settings app now has Power Mode settings.
Microsoft says that it has added new alert dialog boxes to notify the user when the laptop battery level is low, or when the display settings have been modified. You may open a .PS1 file by right-clicking it in File Explorer, and selecting the Run with PowerShell option. Snap options have been optimized for devices with portrait orientation, and supports snapping three apps instead of four. Users in China can access GIFs from weshineapp.com, these are available from the emoji panel that you can access with the hotkey Win + .
Taskbar Fixes
The Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.65 includes the KB5004945 emergency update that fixes the PrintNightmare security vulnerabilities. If you read my previous article about the Windows 11 Insider Preview, you may be aware that the Show Desktop button at the edge of the Taskbar didn't work, the latest update fixes this bug.
Speaking of Taskbar related fixes, the update also resolves an issue which prevented the Date And Time to be displayed in the correct format. Task View previews now work correctly. If you jump through open windows using Win + T, you will no longer experience stuck preview thumbnails when hitting the Escape key. Icons on the Taskbar will appear normally when you rotate the device from portrait mode to landscape mode.

- We fixed an issue resulting in the “New snip in X seconds” options in Snip & Sketch not working.
Users who have installed the first Build, 22000.51 can update to 22000.65 from the Windows Update. You may read the official announcement at the Windows Insider Blog. The Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.65 was quite slow to install, which was in contrast with my prior experience with the OS. The update was stuck at 69% for a long time before proceeding. You'll need to reboot the PC to finish installing the update, it took about 2 minutes for the process to complete in my virtual machine. The Taskbar context-menu still only has an option to open the Taskbar settings.
The Windows 11 Insider Preview Beta Channel is expected to start later this month.


What mental age of reader are you targeting with the first sentence? 10?
Why not write an article on how to *avoid* upgrading from W10 to W11. Analogous to those like me who avoided upgrading from 7 to 10 for as long as possible.
If your paymaster Microsoft permits it, of course.
5. Rufus
6. Ventoy
PS. I hate reading these “SEO optimized” articles.
I used Rufus to create an installer for a 6th gen intel i5 that had MBR. It upgraded using Setup. No issues except for Win 11 always prompting me to replace my local account. Still using Win 10 Pro on all my other PCs to avoid the bullying.
bit pointless to upgrade for the sake of upgrading as you never know when you’ll get locked out because ms might suddenly not provide updates to unsupported systems.
ps…. time travelling?

This happens when you schedule a post in WordPress and update it before setting the publication date.
Anyone willing to downgrade to this awful OS must like inflicting themselves with harm.
I have become convinced now that anybody who has no qualms with using Windows 11/10 must fit into one of the following brackets:
1) Too young to remember a time before W10 and W11 (doesn’t know better)
2) Wants to play the latest games on their PC above anything else (or deeply needs some software which already dropped W7 support)
3) Doesn’t know too much about how computers work, worried that they’d be absolutely lost and in trouble without the “”latest security””
4) Microsoft apologist that tries to justify that the latest “features” and “changes” are actually a good thing, that improve Windows
5) Uses their computer to do a bare minimum of like 3 different things, browse web, check emails, etc, so really doesn’t fuss
Obviously that doesn’t cover everyone, there’s also the category that:
6) Actually liked W7 more than 10, and held out as long as possible before switching, begrudgingly uses 10 now
Have I missed any group off this list?
You have missed in this group just about any professional user that uses business software like CAD programs or ERP Programs which are 99% of all professional users from this list.
Linux doesn’t help anyone who is not a linux kid and apple is just a fancy facebook machine.
Microsoft has removed KB5029351 update
only from windows update though
KB5029351 is still available from the ms update catalog site
1. This update is labaled as PREVIEW if it causes issues to unintelligent people, then they shouldn’t have allowed Preview updates ot install.
2. I have installed it in a 11 years old computer, and no problems at all.
3. Making a big drama over a bluescreen for an updated labeled as preview is ridiculous.
This is probably another BS internet drama where people ran programs and scripts that modified the registry until they broke Windows, just for removing stuff that they weren’t even using just for the sake of it.
Maybe people should stop playing geeks and actually either use Windows 10 or Windows 11, but don’t try to modify things just for the sake of it.
Sometimes removing or stopping things (like defender is a perfect example) only need intelligence, not scripts or 3rd party programs that might mess with windows.
Windows 11 was a pointless release, it was just created because some of the Windows team wanted to boost sales with some sort of new and improved Windows 10. Instead, Microsoft cannot support one version well let alone two.
Windows 11 is the worst ugly shame by Microsoft ever. They should release with every new W11 version a complete free version of Starallback inside just to make this sh** OS functionally again.
motherboard maker MSI has recently released a statement regarding the “unsupported processor” blue screen error for their boards using Intel 600/700 series chipsets & to avoid the KB5029351 Win11 update:

While there may be changes or updates to the Windows 10 Store for Business and Education in the future, it is premature to conclude that it will be discontinued based solely on rumors.
My advice, I left win 15 years ago. Now I’m a happy linux user (linuxmint) but there is Centos, Fedora, Ubuntu depending on your needs.
