The watermark is gone! Win11 22H2 new preview version 22616 released: the bombarded taskbar icon function returns – system update, preview version, Windows 11

On the morning of May 6, Microsoft pushed a new preview version of Windows 11 to Insider members of the Dev and Beta channels this morning.OS version number Build 22616.

Microsoft pointed out that the watermark in the lower right corner of the desktop has been removed from the version, which proves that the system is basically perfect, and it seems to further fit the rumor that the official version of the RTM will be signed in a few weeks (before the end of the month).

There are two most noteworthy changes in the new version:

First, starting from Build 22563, Microsoft removed the drag-and-sort function for pop-up hidden icons in the taskbar, which is claimed to optimize the tablet experience. However, this move has caused a lot of shelling from desktop PC users, and now it has finally changed back.

Microsoft also emphasized that there will be no more moths in the official version of 22H2.

The second is the Xbox handle control bar, which will pop up automatically after playing the game with a PC running Win11 connected to the handle, or quickly call out through the Xbox key. The control bar will display the three most recently played games and three launchers (EA, Steam, etc.), as well as some commonly used game widgets.

To experience the new controller bar, in addition to the system version above Build 225xx, you must download and register for the Xbox Insider Hub, and update the game bar to 5.722.5022.0 or above.

In addition, the version also fixes many bugs such as the performance decline of explorer.exe and the degradation of stability over time.
