It's been really fun to work on the Windows quality projects so far this year. Thanks for the feedback as we've been working on it. Lots more goodness to come!
Two accessibility feature improvements we're rolling out: Voice isolation for Voice Access (filters background noise) and Narrator support for HID braille displays. HID displays now work over USB during PC setup so deaf-blind users can set up their PCs independently.
An important part of our process is spending time with a wide range of makers building things that are deeply personal and unique to their needs.
Two weeks ago, our studio spent time with Nancy, Ari, and Ben from NARBE House, and their story continues to stay top of mind.

We've added the option for a smaller taskbar in Windows 11. Best for when every pixel matters.
Try it out Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors > Taskbar size
New accessibility option I really like: Screen Tint. A full-screen color overlay you can tune by color and intensity, for anyone who gets eye strain or is sensitive to certain screen colors. Think of it as a software version of tinted glasses, built into Windows. In WIP now.
