Unlike typical monthly updates, today's optional update is part of the tech giant's plan to update Windows 11 with new features in addition to major feature updates. Windows 11 KB5010414 is an optional update, so it won't download or install unless you explicitly click the Get Update button. An optional update in February 2022 brings support for new taskbar features such as AirDrop and clock on multiple monitors. Additionally, there are many general improvements and fixes, making this the biggest update yet. This is an optional update, and people who choose to install it will indirectly help Microsoft test next month's Patch Tuesday. Users who install optional updates are considered "seekers." Remember, you can always get the same changes in the March 2022 Patch Tuesday. Download link for Windows 11 KB5010414 Windows 11 KB5010414 direct download link: 64-bit.

Windows 11 KB5010414 (Build 22000.527) new features Android apps available through the Microsoft Store. The taskbar can now display clocks on multiple monitors. Easily switch your microphone and share your app's window in Teams from the taskbar. The taskbar can now display weather information. Get Office Web integration in the Recommended section of the Start menu. Most of us are familiar with Windows 10's News & Interests feed, which appears on the right side of the taskbar and contains local weather updates and news headlines based on your personal interests. Microsoft, on the other hand, is approaching Windows 11 a little differently. On Windows 11 we have a widget panel which is a feed with details about weather, news, traffic, Microsoft To-Do and other widgets like photos. Like Android widgets, Windows 11's Widget Board contains small apps that provide you with quick information. The Windows 11 Widget Board supports all the features available in the News & Interests feed, except that it cannot display the weather on the taskbar. This feature was removed from the taskbar in Windows 11 but has been restored in Build 22000.527. Microsoft is adding a new weather widget button to the taskbar, which will display the weather on the taskbar and act as a new "entry point" to the widget panel.As you can see in the screenshot above, the widget is now located on the far left side of the default taskbar and displays weather updates. When you hover over the weather button pinned to the taskbar, a widget board with news feeds and other widgets launches automatically. Taskbar Gets New Features A new feature in Windows 11 called "AirDrop" reduces the need to move back and forth between apps when you want to share an app's window during a Microsoft Teams meeting. AirDrop will also support other video conferencing clients, but is currently limited to Microsoft Teams. Microsoft officials say that the new window sharing experience in the Windows 11 taskbar may reduce interruptions during online meetings as long as you use it correctly. To get started, you need to hover over the application in the taskbar and click on the new button that allows you to share the window with others in the meeting. When you share your screen, you can click the Stop Sharing button at any time, or switch to another application by clicking Share this window. Microsoft says the new feature is useful for sharing PowerPoint slides using any video conferencing app (support for third-party apps is coming soon). Additionally, Microsoft is introducing support for new mute and unmute buttons to the Windows 11 taskbar. This new feature will come in handy for users who hold meetings on Teams regularly. As you can see in the screenshot above, you'll be able to access the new mute or unmute toggle directly from the taskbar. The feature persists throughout a call, even if multiple windows are open on the screen, and allows you to mute/unmute your Teams microphone from anywhere. Currently, only Teams is supported, but the company may also introduce support for third-party apps via API. Other improvements in Windows 11 February 15 update KB5010414 also features several other improvements. For example, you can now launch Office files directly in the browser from the Start menu. This works when you access an Office file through the Recommendations section of the Start menu and the device doesn't have the appropriate Office license or the file is in OneDrive or SharePoint. If you have a valid license, the file will open in the desktop application as usual. Likewise, cookies can now be shared between Microsoft Edge's Internet Explorer mode and Microsoft Edge. Other improvements include: Fix for silent BitLocker enablement policy not working. Fixed an issue affecting the Remote Desktop application. Fixed an issue where right-to-left (RTL) language text would appear left-aligned on context menus. Fixed an issue with taskbar tooltips where application icons appeared in empty spaces on the taskbar. Fixed an issue with offline files on network drives.
