Microsoft has released the Windows 11 KB5008353 update which brings the OS build number to 22000.469. The latest build includes several changes and improvements along with a lot of fixes.

With this update, a new 'Your Microsoft Account' page has been added to the Accounts category in Windows Settings and you will also notice the HelpWith feature that suggests Help topics relevant for each Settings page.

Highlights

  • Improves auto-brightness to provide a better response under low light conditions on all the supported systems.
  • Updates daylight savings time to start in February 2022 instead of March 2022 in Jordan.
  • Adds the HelpWith feature, which uses Microsoft Bing technologies to suggest Help topics that are relevant for each Settings page. 
  • Updates an issue that displays outdated battery percentages for connected Bluetooth devices on the Bluetooth and other devices page in Settings.
