Windows 11 Build 22610 update: Task manager and other interfaces redesigned

Windows 11 Build 22610 is now available to users on the Dev and Beta channels. Build 22610 is not a big release, but it brings a lot of improvements. This includes a redesigned task manager with support for System Accent, which was recently teased on a webcast.

The preview update titled "Windows 11 Insider Preview 22610 (NI_RELEASE)" brings improvements to File Explorer, support for some new Windows Group Policies, and improvements to the Family Safety widget wait. On the bug fix front, Microsoft says it fixed an issue where changing resolution unexpectedly moved icons.

Starting with Build 22610, you can use the Group Policy Editor to modify Start, Taskbar, and System settings. For example, you can now change policies to disable Quick Settings popups, Notification Center and Calendar popups, search in Start and taskbar, hide task view from taskbar, hide Recommendations in Start, and more .

You can also block custom Pins in Start and disable the Start context menu or hide All Apps in Start.

What's new in Windows 11 Build 22610

The taskbar battery tooltip will now show the estimated battery life if your PC has a battery.

Microsoft has also disabled the experimental tablet-optimized taskbar feature for Windows 11 after causing problems for tablet users. The feature first appeared in Build 22563 and has now been removed from preview builds, meaning it may return in the future after further polishing the experience.

#The most significant change is support for system accent colors in Task Manager. Windows 11's Task Manager now uses the accent color configured in Personalization, but the app will ignore your accent color and switch to the default blue accent color for some areas to ensure readability.

As you can see in the screenshot above, Microsoft has also updated the icons for options like Rename, Properties, and Optimization in the context menu and command bar.
