Microsoft rolled out Tabs in Notepad to the Windows 11 Insiders Beta Channel after testing it last month with Dev Channel users.
Tabs in Notepad was a highly requested feature by users. Notepad therefore joins several other Microsoft applications in this direction, including File Explorer and developer applications, such as Windows Terminal and PowerShell.
The Notepad feature allows users to manage and organize multiple files with tabs in a Notepad window, or create new windows by dragging a tab. A setting allows users to choose whether files open in new tabs or in a new window by default.
Microsoft tackles the management of authentication codes in automatic messages
The new beta version also contains numerous fixes for the Windows 11 taskbar and system tray, as well as for the Task Manager utility.
Microsoft has also rolled out a new Windows 11 Insider preview build 25295 to the Dev channel.
This build brings a copy button to quickly copy two-factor authentication codes into notification bubbles from apps installed on the PC or phones linked to the PC. The feature may not work perfectly yet. Microsoft does its best to determine if the notification bubble contains an authentication code, but sometimes it doesn’t work.
What’s New on Service Updates
Microsoft also improves the availability of the search box in the taskbar. The company started testing several ways to make the search box in the taskbar work late last year. Users can change the appearance of search in the taskbar via Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar Items.
The main change for enterprises is a new commercial policy that allows enterprise customers to activate features introduced by service updates. That is, updates like monthly quality updates apart from the annual Windows 11 feature update. These updates are disabled by default for devices whose updates are governed by policy. This applies to Windows Update for Business or on-premises with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
“Although this policy is available for Insider Preview builds in the Dev Channel, there are no features currently in the Dev Channel behind this policy. However, we plan to make this policy available in the Beta Channel shortly, where there are features behind the policy,” Microsoft notes.
