The new flow guides you to download the correct speech model for your language, select your preferred microphone, and highlights what Voice Access can do on your computer.<\/p>\n<h3>File Explorer with people context details<\/h3>\n<p>Users with a Microsoft account (consumer cloud) will notice that File Explorer now displays people icons in the Activity column of Home, Recommended, Favorites, and Recent. If you hover over or click an icon, it opens the Windows People Card (WPC), providing context on recent interactions and quick actions, such as starting a chat or call via your preferred apps.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_183696\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-183696\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/explorer-windows-contact-card.webp?resize=827%2C476&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"File Explorer Windows People Card\" width=\"827\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/explorer-windows-contact-card.webp?w=1024&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/explorer-windows-contact-card.webp?resize=300%2C173&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/explorer-windows-contact-card.webp?resize=998%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 998w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/explorer-windows-contact-card.webp?resize=150%2C86&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">File Explorer Windows People Card \/ Image: Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Other fixes and changes<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the new features and improvements, Windows 11 build 26220.7523 ships various fixes, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taskbar:<\/strong> Improved behavior when the Taskbar is set to uncombined so that only windows without available space move into the overflow area (preventing the overflow from appearing empty), and fixed an issue where taskbar labels might display incorrectly when an app had multiple windows open.<\/li>\n<li><strong>File Explorer:<\/strong> Resolved a white\u2011flash navigation issue, improved search performance by removing duplicate indexing, enhanced search accuracy across system and secondary drives, fixed OneDrive file\u2011opening failures in RemoteApp sessions (0x80070057), and improved Voice Access in Gallery so photos can be opened with &#8220;click (number)&#8221; instead of requiring &#8220;double click.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lock Screen:<\/strong> Fixed several issues that could cause the login screen to stop responding or fail to render.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Graphics:<\/strong> Resolve an issue that could prevent Adaptive Brightness from working immediately after reboot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Windows Update:<\/strong> Fixed an issue that caused error 0x800F0922 during installation of\u00a0recent updates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other:<\/strong> Resolved incorrect text rendering in Windows Recovery when using Japanese, resolved activation failure, fixed a problem where external virtual switches lost NIC bindings after host restart and reverted to internal mode, corrected the &#8220;Share&#8221; dialog showing Shell Experience Host as a share target, updated the &#8220;Change Account Type&#8221; dialog for consistency with modern style, and fixed an issue where the Settings app incorrectly reported that a newer build was available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Microsoft also notes known issues with these updates, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taskbar Agent:<\/strong> The Researcher may appear unresponsive when clicking the Taskbar icon or status card during an active task.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Xbox Full Screen Experience for PC:<\/strong> Some apps may behave unexpectedly when using FSE, especially those designed to stay fixed at a specific size or that open additional windows.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taskbar:<\/strong> The Start menu may not open on click, apps may fail to appear in the System Tray, and in recent builds, the autohide Taskbar may invoke early when interacting with the bottom of the screen, blocking access to apps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>File Explorer:<\/strong> In the dark mode copy dialog with text scaling enabled, the scrollbar and footer may be missing and replaced by a white block, and opening the context menu may cause explorer.exe to crash after the previous flight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bluetooth:<\/strong> Battery levels on Bluetooth devices may not be displayed due to a known issue being fixed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Click to Do:<\/strong> The Microsoft 365 Copilot prompt may not appear on selected images if the Microsoft 365 Copilot app is not running.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Download Windows 11 update KB5072043<\/h2>\n<p>To download and install this Windows 11 build, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/install-windows-11-insider-preview-builds\/\">enroll your devices in the<strong> Dev or Beta <\/strong><strong>Channels<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0through the &#8220;Windows Insider Program&#8221; settings from the &#8220;Update &amp; Security&#8221; section.
