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

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-insi...
#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

The updated start menu design - this one is a bit wider, with pinned apps and recommended at the top (like before), and then underneath it has all the other apps grouped into categories. On the side, there's a panel for your linked phone
