At this time, Windows 11 is being updated with a new Insider Build called 22000.168 (KB5005191), which includes support for a new widget and improvements for the Microsoft Store.
Other changes include fixing several bugs, one of which is known to prevent Windows Search from working.
The update is being released today as Update 2021-08 for Windows 11 on x64-based systems (KB5005191). It is very similar to previous updates.
This means that it comes with small changes, such as fixes for search and the taskbar, which have encountered some problems since the last release.
What makes build 22000.168 useful
The highlight feature is a new Windows widget called Microsoft 365, and as the name suggests, it allows the user to easily find their documents and records of previous meetings.
Other uses include displaying news feeds and more in widgets. This feature is currently only available to enterprises, which means you need an AAD account.
According to Microsoft, the widget will mainly make the user more productive and help them find their personal list with one tap. Users who want to try it out can do so by clicking the Add Widgets button on the toolbar.
Other changes include support for several new languages, as the Windows 11 taskbar chat for Microsoft Teams now includes support for German, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, Danish, and Dutch, among other languages.
The Microsoft Store is also getting a new redesigned library, with the company fixing the library's navigation and performance, making it simpler.
Microsoft has also updated a new section dedicated to the promotion of certain products, which can be seen by hovering over an item.
