Avast ye, me hearties! Windows 11 be bringin' a fine stylus feature to many a scurvy dog, along with handy changes for the Task Manager. Aye, 'tis a jolly good update, me mateys!
Windows 11 is getting some smart additions for those who use a stylus, as well as other improvements, in a new preview build. The update, known as KB5032292 or preview build 22635.2776, has been released to the Beta channel. The main enhancement is for Windows Ink, which now allows users to write directly in text boxes, eliminating the need for typing. Previously available only in the US, this feature is now supported in multiple regions including Canada, Australia, India, and the UK. The update also includes improvements to Windows Ink's recognition technology, as well as new gesture controls for selecting, joining, or splitting words, deleting a word, and inserting a new line.In addition, the Task Manager has been updated to improve process grouping, providing better visibility into running processes. Notifications for Microsoft accounts have also been added to the Settings app's home page. These notifications serve as reminders for account status and outstanding tasks.
This update is particularly significant for stylus users outside of the US, as it expands support for writing directly in menus. Microsoft plans to further develop this feature, with the eventual goal of allowing stylus input throughout Windows 11. The improved process grouping in Task Manager is a useful change for users who troubleshoot performance issues. It provides better insight into the system's functioning. The overall update aims to enhance the user experience and efficiency on Windows 11.
