Microsoft introduced a few more new features in the Beta channel in Windows 11 Insider Preview build 22631.1906. It is almost certain that this development branch represents the upcoming autumn release of the operating system. In Jedenátky, the hours could not be hidden yet. There were hints from early March that this was about to change, and now it’s official.
You previously hid the clock with Win11ClockToggler, but it doesn’t work since Moment 2. The author claims that he has not found a way to achieve the desired action. Hiding the clock however, it becomes an official option in Windows 11, so we no longer have to rely on various hacks. (Clocks have optionally shown seconds since recently.)
You start network diagnostics from the context menu
A command to check network connection diagnostics has been added to the context menu of the network icon near the clock on the taskbar. We are not done with networks. Offer for network management on the lock screen it now matches the visual style of Windows 11, before this was still the menu from Windows 10. We first saw the redesign recently in the Dev channel.
On the right you see the redesigned network menu
Visually, it was redesigned in the style of Windows 11 firewall dialog (Windows Security) that asks to allow network traffic for a specific program. This change was also recently demonstrated in the Dev channel. A lot of small improvements are related to Settings, most of them are related to networks.
The firewall dialog matches the style of Windows 11
In the section Settings | Network and Internet | Advanced network settings you will find a link for advanced network adapter configuration. Which means it leads to an observant environment. In Settings i you will find another new button that details each saved Wi-Fi network will display the access password. This time it leads to a blue dialog from the Windows 10 era.
The Advanced Adapter Management link leads to that legacy environment
Presets for setting data limits per day and per week. In Settings, you will also see how much data you have already used up from the specified volume. In the appropriate section for managing wireless devices, you will find the command again to connect to the PAN network (Bluetooth Personal Area). It will only appear on paired devices that support such a function, typically smartphones.
Now you can see the saved Wi-Fi password in Settings
If you choose uninstall in the context menu of the classic program (Win32) in the Start menu, the system will redirect you to Settings. Microsoft tried this earlier in the Windows 10 era, but the behavior change failed, so Windows 11 still sent you to the Control Panel in such cases.
If you have a circular peripheral such as the Surface Dial connected to your computer, you can see a special section in Settings for managing such a device. Microsoft has tweaked it visually to better match Eleven’s design style.
The development team also made minor visual adjustments to this Settings section
