Talking about the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23430, then it is rolling out for developers with several changes as well as fixes. You can now receive urgent or important notifications when Do not disturb is on and the window is in full-screen mode. Just like the Canary build, the limit of 20 most recent tabs added for the ALT + TAB multitasking shortcut. The next change coming to the dev channel is the ability to close apps in the task manager by pressing the right click.
Here’s the complete list of changes as well as fixes coming with the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23430.
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23430 – Changes and Improvements
- General
- Urgent or important notifications that break through when do not disturb is turned on while using apps at full screen will now display a “view notification” button to view the content of the notification for privacy.
- In the previous flight, we documented that Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) works on desktop PCs – however, it does not. We have updated that blog post. Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) also needs to be enabled by the OEM (the manufacturer of the device). As a result, this feature is not available on all laptop or 2-in-1 devices.
- Settings
- A limit of 20 most recent tabs has been introduced under Settings > Multitasking to show tabs in ALT + TAB and Snap Assist.
- Developer
- We are introducing a new setting under Settings > Privacy & security > For developers to enable end task when right-clicking an app on the taskbar. This setting is in Build 23430 but does not currently work when the feature is toggled on. It will be fixed in a future flight.
