Microsoft is testing a faster Search interface, better Windows Hello sign-ins, and a handful of other useful improvements. Digital Trends
Microsoft has spent much of 2026 fixing some of the annoying things that have plagued Windows 11 for years. There is now a customizable right-click menu, recovering a broken Windows installation no longer requires a USB drive, and the company is even making Windows run better on PCs with just 8GB of RAM. Plenty of much-needed improvements, considering how long users have been dealing with these problems.
Microsoft has another batch of changes lined up. The latest Windows 11 Insider Beta Build 26320.9876, released November 6, brings improvements to Search, Windows Hello, and a few other features. The Beta channel also moves to Windows 11 version 26H2. But Microsoft says the version change alone doesn’t bring anything significant.
Windows Search has more to offer Microsoft
Microsoft has already been experimenting with Windows Search, trying to make it useful beyond finding files and apps. The latest build introduces a redesigned interface using WinUI 3, which apparently offers faster results and better navigation.
