Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25120 to users in the Dev Channel. It introduces a search bar on the desktop
The Redmond company calls it "lightweight interactive content." Why not call it a desktop widget. After installing the update, you need to restart your computer to trigger the search bar. There users can paste a URL, or type a query to perform a web search via Bing (via Microsoft Edge?)

Microsoft says the search bar isn’t available to everyone yet because it’s undergoing A/B testing. If the search widget receives positive feedback from users, it may be rolled out more broadly. I'm not a fan of the giant Bing search bar, but does this mean more desktop widgets are coming? I miss the Windows 7 gadgets, they are really cool.
Don’t like the new search bar on your desktop? You can remove widgets easily. Right-click on the desktop, select "Show more options," then click the "Show Search" option to toggle it.
Microsoft is delivering Build 25120 for ARM64 devices.
The Suggested Actions feature that debuted a week ago in Build 25115 has been updated to support more date and time formats. It should work more reliably now. Viewing the battery usage graph will no longer crash the Settings app. The Wi-Fi section in the quick settings panel displays available wireless networks more quickly. Text on the Task Manager's Performance page is now readable when the Contrast theme is active. Windows Update does not stop or roll back updates for users who have WSA enabled on their computers.
Games that use Easy Anti-Cheat may crash or cause a Blue Screen of Death on your PC and proceed Error checking. Issues related to live subtitles that existed in previous versions have not been fixed in the current version. You can read the announcement article on the Windows Insider blog for more details.
My Windows Update is stuck at 99% download and won't proceed. I don't have WSA enabled. A few other people seem to be having this problem. I also have an update stack package version 922.415.111.0 that fails to install with error code 0xc4800010. The problem is, this stack update was installed successfully in the last week of April, but Windows 11 wants to re-download it and the installation fails every time. I'm not sure about this, but the stack update error may have corrupted the Windows Update files, which may be the reason why the build update won't go past 99%.
This has been happening for the past few Insider Builds, but usually I resolve it by restarting the VM and checking for updates again, running a disk cleanup to delete the update files, or by resetting the Windows Update components. None of these steps solved the issue I had on my last build, I even deleted the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folders but ended up manually upgrading the OS using the ISO downloaded from UUdump.
The same issue occurred today with Build 25120, so I did a fresh install using the ISO from the previous build, after which the VM was able to download the Build 25120 update and install it. If you encounter a similar problem, you can download the current version ISO directly from Microsoft, back up your data, and then clean-install the operating system.
