Recently, Microsoft releases Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22518 to the Dev Channel. This version provides several new features, including a collection of Spotlight wallpapers, Voice Access, and a new entry for Widgets in the taskbar.

The Spotlight collection backgrounds can keep the desktop fresh, and users can receive pictures from all over the world every day and learn the interesting stories behind them.

  2. On the Personalization settings page, choose “Background”.
  3. Under the “Personalize your background” dropdown, select “Spotlight collection”.

Voice Access includes an interactive guide that explains how to use voice to complete common tasks. The user can interact with the computer used through this function, such as opening and switching applications through voice, or simulating the operation of the mouse and keyboard.
