This manager replaces the profile menu with a new design that gives you a preview of your Microsoft 365 benefits and alerts you of any missing information and other actions you have to take to maintain your account security.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, you will be able to see at a glance your cloud storage usage and which services are active and expiring soon.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of these changes, some of the options from the profile menu are now in different places. For example, you must click the three dots menu at the top right of the account manager menu to access the &#8220;Sign out&#8221; and &#8220;Switch user&#8221; options. Also, this menu no longer lists the other users configured on\u00a0the computer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_169548\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-169548\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-11-start-account-manager-subcribed.webp?resize=827%2C612&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Start account manager\" width=\"827\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-11-start-account-manager-subcribed.webp?w=1077&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1077w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-11-start-account-manager-subcribed.webp?resize=300%2C222&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-11-start-account-manager-subcribed.webp?resize=776%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 776w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-11-start-account-manager-subcribed.webp?resize=150%2C111&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Start account manager \/ Image: Mauro Huculak<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you want to lock your account, you will now find the option in the Power menu on the right side of the Start menu.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Windows 11 NEW Start menu Jump List, Recall AI changes, Sign-in animation (Beta, Dev, Canary)\" width=\"827\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cJc6C2887tU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The issue with this feature is that even if you&#8217;re not interested in using a Microsoft 365 subscription when opening the account manager, you will get a banner promoting the service that <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/remove-ads-windows-11\/\">many people may consider a form of advertisement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_169549\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-169549\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/start-account-manager-no-subscription.webp?resize=827%2C612&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sart account manager without subscription\" width=\"827\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/start-account-manager-no-subscription.webp?w=1077&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1077w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/start-account-manager-no-subscription.webp?resize=300%2C222&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/start-account-manager-no-subscription.webp?resize=776%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 776w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/start-account-manager-no-subscription.webp?resize=150%2C111&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sart account manager without subscription \/ Image: Mauro Huculak<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition, this preview includes some fixes related to the Taskbar and audio on <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-11\">Windows 11<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>AI hidden changes on build 26236<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from the new features and changes that were officially announced, Windows 11 build 26236 also includes several changes that Microsoft didn&#8217;t mention.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For example, when you log in to your account, the sign-in page will show a new animation that uses a combination of Windows Hello, logo, and checkmark to let you know your login was successful.
