Windows 10 KB5028166: July 2023 Update Released

In an exciting turn of events, Microsoft is unleashing the much-anticipated “Moment 3” features onto the vast Windows 11 user base.

This magnificent unveiling comes as part of the Patch Tuesday update (KB5028185), ensuring that every user can now savor the delights that Moment 3 has to offer. Hold on to your hats, folks, because this journey began back in late May, when Microsoft set the wheels in motion with a controlled feature rollout. To tease us even further, Moment 3 made a brief appearance on June 27 as an optional update, tantalizing us with a taste of what was to come.

Prepare yourselves for a cornucopia of fresh additions that Moment 3 brings to Windows 11. Let’s take a moment to admire the highlights, for they are truly impressive. First and foremost, you can now bask in the glory of seconds displayed in the system tray clock, granting you a heightened sense of time. As if that weren’t enough, feast your eyes on the brand-new VPN status icon, nestling in the cozy confines of the system tray. That’s not all, my friends. Brace yourselves for Access key shortcuts in File Explorer, paving the way for enhanced navigation. And hold tight, for USB4 devices and presence sensors now enjoy a bevy of shiny new settings. But wait, there’s more! Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, bestows upon us support for an array of new languages in live captions, opening up a world of linguistic possibilities.

But hold your horses, my friends, for Moment 3 doesn’t stop there. Brace yourself for some mind-bending changes to the existing Windows 11 features. As the world-famous print screen button is pressed, lo and behold, the Snipping Tool shall grace your presence, becoming the default destination for your captures. Fear not, for those who yearn for the old ways, the path of change can be altered to revert to the previous behavior. And that’s not all! The mighty Alt + Tab and Snap Assist duo will now reveal a maximum of 20 recent tabs, streamlining your multitasking journey in the realm of Windows 11.

Now, here’s a heads-up for all you Windows 11 users out there. The captivating Moment 3 update exclusively caters to those running the splendid 22H2 version of the operating system. Alas, fret not, for even those still dwelling in the realm of the original Windows 11 shall receive a special treat on this glorious day (KB5028182). However, keep your expectations in check, as this update merely consists of security improvements, devoid of any glittering new features. Stay vigilant, my friends, for Microsoft’s ever-evolving Windows 11 universe continues to unfold before our eyes.
