In addition to this - for those that are on the receiving end of screenshots and want to copy out the error code, in Windows 11 you can press WIN + Shift + T to extract text on screen

We're currently rolling out a refreshed gaming task view experience when in xbox mode to Insiders - I hope you like it 😊
A screenshot of the new gaming Task View - with new navigation bar to make key system actions easier to access while gaming (exit to desktop and power). The whole view has a big game window front and center, with left and right bumper actions, a big clock and showing the systray icons in the top (like batter %)

For those of you who wonder what we do here all day 😏 Emma, Yuki, and @YashMisra12 walk through some of the decisions we made on the new search experience - fun to see the team in action!

Last week, we shared the new Windows Search experience and how Search is moving from finding to doing. The team put together a Beyond the Build makers video, where @YashMisra12 and some of the team share the design and engineering decisions that shaped the experience. We’ll share more at today’s NYC Insider meetup. See you soon.
