The big draw is a new diagnostic tool that will help with troubleshooting. Also in Microsoft&#8217;s latest package are some design tweaks and several bug fixes.<\/p>\n<p>The new tool will allow users to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2023\/01\/12\/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-25276\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2023\/01\/12\/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-25276\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>live kernel memory dump<\/u><\/a><span> (opens in new tab)<\/span> (LKD) of their system to help diagnose problems. A memory dump, also known as a core dump, is a record of your computer\u2019s memory at a certain time, usually when the OS or an app is having some performance problems. Microsoft states you\u2019ll be able to get a record of those problems as they happen in real-time without interrupting Windows 11 from operating as normal. The goal is to speed up troubleshooting for \u201chigh-impact failures and hangs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The LKD tool will have its home in the Task Manager under the Details section. Right-click the System process and there will be an entry that reads \u201cCreate live kernel memory dump file\u201d in the context menu. You can also configure the tool to capture Hypervisor pages or abort the process if there is insufficient memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to point out that not everyone will get this feature. Microsoft says it\u2019ll see a limited release to Insider Program members so it can monitor feedback. And from that feedback, the company will decide then whether or not the LKD tool will go out to everyone.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"additional-features\">Additional features<\/h2>\n<p>Regarding the design tweaks, they\u2019re nothing major. The Settings app will now feature \u201cOutlook attachment data\u201d as part of the new visuals introduced back in November for Microsoft 365 subscription. And the Network Troubleshooter is getting replaced with the more \u201cmodern\u201d Get Help app to help you get \u201cspecific recommendations\u201d for fixes.<\/p>\n<p>The fixes cover a wide variety of native Windows 11 features. Just to name a few, users can expect a search layout fix for text in right-to-left languages like Arabic, Voice Access to work properly with the Calculator app, and the File Explorer should no longer crash when loading recent files. Microsoft is currently investigating other known issues, including the reports of Insider Program members experiencing system freezes after downloading new builds.<\/p>\n<p>But one of the more interesting aspects of Build 25276 is what\u2019s not being shown officially. Users <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WithinRafael\/status\/1613622041093234689\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WithinRafael\/status\/1613622041093234689\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>across the internet<\/u><\/a><span> (opens in new tab)<\/span> have discovered Microsoft&#8217;s plans for retiring the Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) within the next two years. This is probably for the best as MSDT has had several zero-day vulnerabilities crop up in recent years with Microsoft dragging its feet to fix them. The last fix happened back in August 2022 when the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/microsoft-finally-patches-nasty-windows-security-hole-two-years-later\"><u>patched the DogWalk security flaw<\/u><\/a> on MSDT, over two years after it was first discovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At face value, it looks like the company is no longer interested in supporting MSDT and is preparing to move on. Currently, it\u2019s unknown what the future replacement will be \u00a0\u2013 \u00a0assuming there will be one.<\/p>\n<p>Also in the build are preview versions for both Apple Music and Apple TV on Windows 11, although they\u2019re missing some major features.
