KB5053657: Overview with user sentiment and feedback

Overview

This is a preview update (OS Builds 22621.5126 and 22631.5126) released on March 25, 2025, for Windows 11 versions 24H2, 23H2, 22H2, and 21H2. The update includes various quality improvements and new features across different areas of the operating system. This update is being distributed through a gradual rollout process, meaning users will receive it at different times rather than all at once.

General Purpose

The update introduces several significant improvements and new features. It adds a new Gamepad keyboard layout for the touch keyboard with button accelerators and improved controller navigation patterns. A new system tray icon has been added to enhance the discoverability of emoji and other panels. The update includes support for Chinese language in Voice Access, allowing users to navigate, dictate, and interact with Windows using voice commands in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. For European Economic Area users, Windows Search has been updated with improved web search provider support. The update also adds new functionality to Filter Manager for enhanced directory change notifications while minimizing I/O operations, and introduces Noto CJK fonts for better language support.

General Sentiment

The update appears to be focused on improving user accessibility and system functionality across multiple areas. The gradual rollout approach suggests a cautious deployment strategy to minimize potential issues. While the update brings welcome improvements to input methods, language support, and system functionality, there is a notable known issue affecting devices with certain Citrix components installed, specifically those with Citrix Session Recording Agent (SRA) version 2411.

Known Issues

• After attempting to install the update, affected devices may display an error message and revert to previous updates
• This issue primarily affects organizations using Citrix SRA 2411 and is not expected to impact home users
• A workaround is available through Citrix documentation
