What’s New in Windows 11 KB5058502
Microsoft continues to improve Copilot on Windows, making it even more accessible and customizable. After installing this update, you can open Copilot using Win + C or the dedicated Copilot key, if your keyboard supports it. Also, you can personalize this experience on Settings > Personalization > Text input, and modify how the Copilot key behaves.
Another standout feature is “Press to Talk” with Copilot. Simply hold the Copilot key or Win + C for two seconds to start a voice interaction. Stay silent or press Esc to end the session. Alternatively, use Alt + Spacebar to initiate voice conversations seamlessly, letting you interact hands-free while multitasking.
Now, when you drag a file from File Explorer or your desktop, a tray appears at the top of your screen with suggested apps for sharing. You can drop the file directly into an app or choose More to access the full Windows share window.
Devices in the European Economic Area (EEA) will see enhancements to Widgets on the Lock screen. The weather widget now supports customization options—just go to Settings > Personalization > Lock screen, then access the “Customize widget” option.
There’s a new FAQ section under Settings > System > About. It covers system setup, performance tips, and compatibility information, offering one-stop answers to common Windows 11 questions.
Microsoft has resolved several issues related to input:
- Voice typing now reliably starts when using the Chinese (Simplified) keyboard layout.
- Fixed a bug where pressing the symbol page key on the touch keyboard accidentally inserted characters in password fields.
- Voice access no longer hangs with the “working on it” message during dictation.
The update addresses a critical issue that could cause devices to crash with a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (win32kfull.sys) blue screen error. Also fixed:
- A memory leak in the Input Service could affect performance in remote desktop and multi-user environments.
- A HoloLens issue where the HoloCamera app failed to save images due to incorrect folder permissions.
- An issue with the Windows Shell is causing Explorer and Start Menu to become unresponsive when connected to AAD (Azure Active Directory).
- Windows Update failures when downloading the 24H2 feature update through WSUS on devices running Windows 11 22H2/23H2.
The Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) has also been updated to include newer mobile operator profiles, ensuring smoother connectivity and compatibility.
Microsoft also acknowledged a known issue where CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) text may appear blurry at 96 DPI in Chromium-based browsers like Edge and Chrome. This is linked to the recent implementation of Noto fallback fonts and limited pixel density at lower scaling. Increasing the display scaling can help improve text clarity.
