For example, this update adds media controls to the Lock screen, makes changes to the account manager in the Start menu, and adds new navigation functionality for the Taskbar. Also, you will find new settings for Notifications, improvements for Windows Share, Narrator, Energy Saver, Windows Update, and touch gestures.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, this update ships with a new security feature designed to enhance system security by limiting the time an administrator user has full administrative privileges.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, this update includes some fixes regarding the upgrade process in the Canary Channel, input, widgets, and more. This flight also ships with some known issues for Copilot+ PCs, the Movies &amp; TV app, and input.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s new on Windows 11 build 27718 (Canary)<\/h2>\n<p>These are the new features and changes rolling out in the Canary Channel.<\/p>\n<h2>Administrator Protection feature<\/h2>\n<p>Administrator Protection is a new <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/best-security-settings-windows-11\/\">security feature<\/a> designed to enhance system security by limiting the time an admin user has full administrative privileges. This is achieved by granting these privileges only when necessary, typically for specific tasks or actions, with just-in-time admin privileges.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;just-in-time admin privileges&#8221; mean that administrators will only have full admin rights when they need to perform actions that require them. This reduces the risk of malicious software exploiting these privileges.<\/p>\n<p>The feature is initially disabled and must be enabled through group policy settings, which gives administrators control over its implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has yet to share more details about this feature, but in other words, Administrator Protection aims to strike a balance between security and usability by providing administrators with the necessary privileges when needed while minimizing the potential risks associated with having constant full admin access.<\/p>\n<h3>Start menu with account manager tweaks\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>On Windows 11 build 27718, the Start menu account manager interface adds the <strong>&#8220;Sign out&#8221;<\/strong> button within the menu, so you don&#8217;t have to process an extra step to access the option.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_172638\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-172638\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/startmenu-new-account-changes.webp?resize=720%2C812&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Start menu updated account manager\" width=\"720\" height=\"812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/startmenu-new-account-changes.webp?w=720&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/startmenu-new-account-changes.webp?resize=266%2C300&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 266w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/startmenu-new-account-changes.webp?resize=509%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 509w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/startmenu-new-account-changes.webp?resize=133%2C150&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Start menu updated account manager \/ Image: Mauro Huculak<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition, the <strong>&#8220;More options&#8221; (&#8230;)<\/strong> submenu now lists the other users available on the computer to make it easier to switch between accounts.
