For more details, head over to the official blog post. Get Started Narrator will announce that more natural voices, “Jenny” and “Aria”, are available when it first launches. Select “Install now” on the announcement window to go to Narrator Settings to add the new voices. From there you can select “Add” button under the “Add natural voices” section. The dialog allows you to select either the “Jenny” or “Aria” voice. Both voices can be installed but must be installed separately. You can click “Preview” to hear a preview of the voice and you can select “Install” to start the download of the selected voice. “Select a natural voice to install” dialog displays a list of natural voices preview, install, and cancel buttons. New Narrator Keyboard Commands In addition, we have made it easier for Narrator users to switch between voices to better support common tasks like reading and navigating. Newly added Narrator keyboard commands include:
Narrator + Alt + the Minus key – Move to the previous voice in Narrator’s voice settings combo box. Narrator + Alt + the Plus key – Move to the next voice in Narrator’s voice settings combo box.
Updated keyboard commands include:
Narrator + Alt + the Left Bracket key – Move to the previous punctuation reading mode. Narrator + Alt + the Right Bracket key – Move to the next punctuation reading mode.
We look forward to you trying out our new natural voices and would love to hear your feedback and suggestions in Feedback Hub (Win + F) under Accessibility > Narrator.
Task Manager shouldn’t crash when switching to the Performance tab. The updated flyout for the hardware indicators for volume will now show the level. Fixed an issue where certain characters (like characters with umlauts) weren’t allowed when naming your PC in OOBE, even though it was allowed in Settings after finishing OOBE. Addressed an issue which was leading to OneNote crashing in recent builds when trying to open pages with inserted PDFs. Mitigated an issue that was leading to unresponsive UI after enabling HDR.
[File Explorer]
Fixed an issue that could lead to explorer.exe crashing when dragging and dropping a file out of a zipped folder in File Explorer. The context menu in File Explorer now shows a CTRL + Shift + C keyboard shortcut next to Copy as Path.
[Input]
Fixed an issue which was leading to the cursor unexpectedly disappearing in certain apps. Fixed a crash in Quick Settings when opening the input switcher from there. Addressed an issue which was leading to the candidate window customization being unexpectedly missing from Personalization > Text Input for Chinese Simplified IME users sometimes.
[Taskbar]
We fixed the issue causing two arrows to appear for the hidden icon flyout and the Quick Settings icons, and the date and time were misaligned.
[Settings]
Mitigated an issue leading to Settings getting stuck in a suspended state and couldn’t be launched. If you’ve opted to turn off the startup sound, that setting should persist upgrades going forward. Fixed the icon in the notification that shows if you have chosen to postpone finishing setting up your device. Tabbing through Quick Settings should no longer set focus to an invisible element. Fixed an issue that was sometimes causing the media controls above Quick Settings to be off-screen.
[Windowing]
The underline indicating the active desktop in Task View will now follow your chosen accent color instead of being blue. Mitigated a WER issue which was leading to DWM crashes in recent flights.
NOTE: Some fixes noted here in Insider Preview builds from the active development branch may make their way into the servicing updates for the released version of Windows 11 that became generally available on October 5th, 2021.
The taskbar will sometimes flicker when switching input methods.
[Search]
After clicking the Search icon on the Taskbar, the Search panel may not open. If this occurs, restart the “Windows Explorer” process, and open the search panel again.
[Input]
On a UAC prompt, the IME candidate window doesn’t show up.
[Widgets]
With the taskbar left-aligned, information such as temperature is not shown. This will be fixed in a future update.
[Narrator]
Restart Narrator if the voice is not automatically switched after downloading Microsoft Aria (Natural) from voice selection combo box.
