What’s new in the Windows 11 KB5028185

Today’s Windows 11 KB5028185 update is a big release as it enabled the Moment 3 update after testing it since May, bringing a host of new features to all Windows 11 users.

These features include a wide variety of features, including:

• The ability to copy 2FA codes from notification toasts from applications.
• Access key shortcuts in File Explorer, which are shown by pressing the ‘Menu’ key on your keyboard.
• Live Kernel Memory Dumps are now available in File Explorer, making it easier to debug running processes.
• Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) is now available on laptops and 2-in-1 devices.
• This update introduces a new USB4 hubs and devices Settings page.
• You can now see sensor data under the new Settings > Privacy & security > Presence sensing setting.
• The default print screen button (PRT SCR/Print Screen) now opens the Snipping Tool by default.
• You can now display seconds in the system tray time display.
• This update improves your computer’s performance when you use a mouse that has a high report rate for gaming
• A new VPN status icon shows when you’re connected to a VPN.

In addition to the Moment 3 features, Microsoft also made over 30 changes and improvements to fix bugs and increase performance, with some highlighted changes below:

• This update improves the sharing of a local file in File Explorer with Microsoft Outlook contacts. You now have the option to quickly email the file to yourself. In addition, loading your contacts from Outlook is better. This feature is not available for files stored in Microsoft OneDrive folders. OneDrive has its own sharing functionality.

Microsoft is only aware of one long-standing issue for Windows 11 22H2 that has not been resolved in this update, which is provisioning packages not working as expected.

After installing today’s KB5028185 update, Windows 11 22H2 will change its build number to 22621.1992.
