Microsoft launches Windows 11 Build 22000.194 in Beta Channel: the revamped Clock apps arrive with Focus Sessions and Cutouts

If Microsoft launched Build 22458 of Windows 11 hours ago within the Dev Channel, now those who benefit are those who are part of the Beta Channel of the Insider Program in power Download Build 22000.194 in preparation for the release of Windows 11 on October 5.

"

Build 22000.194 comes offering a series of improvements and bug fixes and along with these changes come some of the new features that have already passed through the Dev Channel , in the case of the renewed Snipping Tool or Clock applications with the Focus Sessions function."

New applications

Among the new applications that arrive is the new Snipping Tool, the Clock and the aforementioned Focus Sessions . The rest of the corrections are these that we now see:

• Fixed an issue where if you enabled and then disabled a contrast theme, artifacts would occur in the title bars, which in some cases would cause the minimize/maximize/close buttons to difficult to see and use.
• Fixes a crash with certain devices connected that could result in not being able to use Bluetooth.
• Fixes an issue that resulted in sub titles not appearing when expected in certain apps, particularly Japanese sub titles.
• Fixes an issue that caused some PCs to check for errors during standby mode.
• Fixed an issue when typing with certain 3rd party IMEs in the search box in Settings that could cause the candidate window to display elsewhere on the screen (not attached to the search box) and/or characters inserted in the search box will not be displayed.

• Fixes an issue that caused PowerShell to create an infinite number of child directories This issue occurs when you use the PowerShell command Move- Item to move a directory to one of its children. As a result, the volume fills up and the system stops responding.
• This build includes a change that aligns the application of Windows 11 system requirements on virtual machines (VMs) to be the same as for physical PCs.Previously created VMs running Insider Preview builds may not update to the latestpreview builds. In Hyper-V, virtual machines must be created as a generation 2 virtual machine. For more details on Windows 11 system requirements.

In turn, a series of problems continue to be present, especially a taskbar that appears displaced to one side if is in centered mode.
