We're working on updating the battery icon in the system tray - adding colour and a written percentage to make it easier to see I hope you like it 😊 - just started rolling out today in the Dev Channel blogs.windows.com/windows…. #WindowsInsiders

Showing examples of the updated Windows battery icon in the system tray - one in black, another yellow (for energy saving), and one green (for charging)

Any em dash fans here? We're currently working on a Windows-wide keyboard keyboard shortcut for em dash and em dash, to make it easier to input for those that need it 😊 blogs.windows.com/windows…. #WindowsInsiders

Screenshot of the linked blog, saying: We’re adding a new keyboard shortcut to make it easier for you to insert an En dash (–) or Em dash (—) while typing anywhere in Windows. Going forward, pressing WIN + Minus (-) will insert En dash, and WIN + Shift + Minus (-) will insert Em dash. Note – if you have Magnifier running, WIN + Minus (-) will still zoom out Magnifier, rather than inserting an En dash

We're starting to roll out a change to Snipping Tool to make it easier to create clean shapes - I hope you like it 😊 More details in the blog: blogs.windows.com/windows…. #WindowsInsiders

An example of just this - showing a random screenshot of avocados and some text in snipping tool. The person uses their mouse to draw a rough box and arrow, and they're automatically converted to clean shapes

For those who need it, we're starting to roll out a new option for voice typing (WIN + H) so you can choose if you want profanity filtering enabled or not Thanks, as always, for those who shared feedback about this 🙏 blogs.windows.com/windows…. #WindowsInsiders

A screenshot from the linked blog. It says "We’re excited to address the top customer feedback for voice typing by starting to roll out a new setting that lets you control the profanity filter. With this setting on, voice typing will continue to filter out profanity, masking it with asterisks, like it already did. With the setting off, it will type out your profanity like any other words.

To adjust this setting, open voice typing (Win + H), select the settings icon, and use the Filter profanity toggle in the settings menu.", with a picture below it of the new setting

Our Windows Insider Program 10 year anniversary wallpaper is live! I hope you like it 😊 Aka.ms/wip10light Aka.ms/wip10dark #WindowsInsiders

The wallpaper is a little hard to describe - it has a collection elements of older windows versions, including the taskbar, calendar pop up, picking a wallpaper (the wallpaper in the picker is the windows 11 bloom wallpaper), clippy, and more

We're trying out some changes to help make the emoji (& more) panel in Windows more discoverable 😊 blogs.windows.com/windows…. #WindowsInsiders

A screenshot from the linked blog post - it says "We are trying out a new experience to improve the discoverability of the emoji and more panel in Windows 11 with the introduction of a new system tray icon on the taskbar. With this new system tray icon, you can easily express yourself by using emojis, GIFs, Kaomoji etc. across all apps and surfaces in Windows in addition to using the WIN + . keyboard shortcut which is also now shown on the emoji and more panel. This new system tray icon for the emoji and more panel shows can be changed by right-clicking on the icon to go to taskbar settings page". Below, a picture of just that
