Windows 11 2022 Update: Making the Everyday Easier with Lenovo

The first major update to Windows 11 since launch last year. Microsoft has announced the Windows 11 2022 Update, with a renewed focus on “making the everyday easier.” With this new update, everything users love about Windows is now easier to use, sporting a cleaner new design and smarter features, more efficient ways to be effective along with increased performance and security. Here are some of the highlight features coming to Lenovo Windows devices¹:

• Making the Lenovo PC easier and safer to use for everyone
  • With a clean new design and easy navigation, everything is now easier to search and find. The new search functionality also lets users search the web and their Lenovo PC from one place.
  • Windows 11 makes it easy for anyone to use their Lenovo PC with new accessibility features. Users can now navigate using voice access, which lets them control their PC and write text with just their voice; hear spoken conversations with System Wide live captions on any form of audio content; or have text narrated to them via Natural Voices for Narrator, which more closely mirrors natural speech.
  • Windows 11 is the most secure version of Windows yet. And now with Smart App Control, users can confidently download any app they need without worry.

• Empowering people to be more productive
  • Snap layouts are now more versatile with better touch navigation and the ability to snap multiple browser tabs in Microsoft Edge.
