Microsoft's latest operating system enjoys more popularity among gamers with a share of 32% though, if the Steam monthly hardware survey is anything to go by. Overall, Windows 11 now commands nearly 20% of the desktop PC marketshare, still a distant second to Windows 10 at 73%. Meanwhile, the Beta Channel received build 22624.1391 (KB5023011) with improved voice access and other minor improvements.

The Dev Channel netted build 25309 with an updated Volume Mixer, new second-chance OOBE (SCOOBE), WinUI 3, Auto Color Management (ACM), and more. There were a couple of Insider releases too. Although they are running Windows 11 Moment 1, you can update them to Moment 2. And if you're still on the fence about Windows 11, consider installing Microsoft's latest trial virtual machines.

The workaround involves either waiting for developers to fix their software or uninstall them.

It's also worth highlighting that certain third-party OS customization utilities broke with the release of Moment 2. Microsoft outlined everything IT admins need to know about Windows 11 Moment 2, but general consumers can check out our detailed review here too. Microsoft also made a big deal about integrating the new AI-powered Bing in Windows 11 but as we eventually found out, it's just a glorified shortcut to launch Bing in Edge. Interestingly, this Moment 2 release also contains a preview of Phone Link for iOS - with Insiders getting first dibs - and a not-so-perfect release of tabbed Notepad. For now, it's available as an optional non-security update as KB5022913 (build 22621.1344) but will be rolled out to everyone from this month's Patch Tuesday on March 14. Although there is no official branding for this release, we know that it's referred to as 'Moment 2' internally. Following weeks of speculation, Microsoft finally announced the next major update to Windows 11.
