Microsoftは11月15日(現地時間)、Windows 11のWindows Insider ProgramのDevチャンネル向けの最新ビルド「Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23590」をリリースしました(Windows Blog)。
Devチャンネルで公開されるビルドは、将来の機能アップデートで追加される可能性のある、さまざまな新機能が先行して実装されています。特定のリリースとは直接結びつけられておらず、ビルドに含まれる新機能や改善点は、準備が整い次第、将来のWindowsリリースに反映される可能性があります。
Windows Insider Programの更新オプションでDevチャンネルを選択し、Windows 11のプレビュー版を使用しているユーザーは、Windows Updateを利用して最新版に更新することができます。
Build 23590の新機能
Build 23590の新機能は以下の通りです。
ナレーターのナチュラル・ボイス・プレビュー
2023年9月に開始した10の新ロケールのナチュラルボイス(Chinese、Spanish (Spain)、 Spanish (Mexico)、Japanese, English (UK)、French、Portuguese、English (India)、German、Korean)のプレビューの導入。
プレビュー機能によって、音声モデルをダウンロードする前にナチュラルボイスを聞くことができる。ナチュラルボイスはデバイス上のテキスト音声を使用し、一度ダウンロードするとインターネット接続なしで利用可能だが、プレビューにはインターネット接続が必要。
ナレーターの画像関連の機能も強化。
その他の変更
その他、コンテキストメニューやアドレスバーなどに関連したファイルエクスプローラーのクラッシュの問題など、いくつかの不具合が修正されています。
Changes and Improvements
[General]
- Steps Recorder will not receive further updates and is planned for removal in a future Windows release. Starting in this build, Steps Recorder (PSR.exe) will display a new banner notification to guide users towards alternative options. We encourage our users to explore other options in Windows 11 such as Snipping tool, Xbox Game bar or Microsoft Clipchamp. For more, see this article.
[Windows Share]
- The Windows share window will now only show apps under “Share using” that are tied to the account you are signed into Windows with – either Microsoft account (MSA) or Microsoft Entra ID (previously Azure Active Directory). If you are signed in with an MSA, you will see Microsoft Teams (free) instead of Microsoft Teams (work or school) and not both for example.
- If you’re signed in with a Microsoft Entra ID, your Microsoft Teams (work or school) contacts will appear in the Windows share window to quickly share to.
[Nearby Sharing]
- If you turn on nearby sharing via quick settings or directly in Settings and you have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off, it will turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on so nearby sharing will work as expected. If you turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, it will also turn off nearby sharing
[Narrator]
- In Microsoft Word, Narrator will now announce the presence of a draft comment, a resolved comment, a bookmark, or the availability of accessibility suggestions when reading text in the document.
Fixes
[File Explorer]
- Fixed an issue causing File Explorer to crash on launch for some Insiders in the last few builds if you were using a non-default regional sorting option.
- Fixed an issue which was causing opening the context menu on the desktop to crash explorer.exe in the last couple flights for some Insiders.
- Fixed an issue which was causing explorer.exe to crash sometimes when entering paths into the address bar.
[Narrator]
- Fixed an issue where Narrator was not correctly announcing the selected item in combo boxes when users try to change the combo box value using key combination Control + up or down arrow.
- Fixed an issue where Narrator was announcing old dialog names even after users navigate to new dialog on few web pages.
- Fixed an issue where Narrator was not reading Role of a control in tables on the web while using table navigation commands CTRL + ALT + Arrow keys.
- Addressed an issue where Narrator was not announcing the selected state of menu items in few applications such as device manager.
- Fixed an issue where Narrator was announcing both the unselected value and the newly selected value in elements such as date fields or any elements that are formatted as tables.
[Magnifier]
- Fixed an issue in Magnifier settings page where the text below “voice speed” slider was not following the color contrast guidelines.
[Settings]
- Fixed an issue where the Experimental Features section of Narrator Settings didn’t have text.
[Windows Share]
- Fixed an issue which was causing the share window to crash in the last couple builds.
NOTE: Some fixes noted here in Insider Preview builds from the Dev Channel may make their way into the servicing updates for the released version of Windows 11.
Known issues
[Copilot in Windows*]
- When first launching or after refreshing Copilot in Windows while using voice access, you’ll need to use “Show grid” commands to click in the “Ask me anything” box for the first time.
