What you need to know
Microsoft released preview updates for Windows 11 this week that have over 20 bug fixes and improvements. Fixes include addressing a Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio earbud bug that stops sound when streaming music and making video calls more reliable. The update also fixes an issue that can stop audio from going through your PC when you have a phone connected through Bluetooth.
I’ve run into the Bluetooth phone call bug myself, so I’m happy to see the issue fixed. Having to jump through hoops and swapping where audio is playing from a phone call is a hassle, so I’m happy to see the bug go away.
This is a preview update that you can install right now. If you’d rather wait, all of the fixes will roll out in the February 2024 Patch Tuesday update, assuming no unexpected issues arise. You can grab the update through Windows Settings if you turn on optional updates. You can also get it through theMicrosoft Update Catalog website.
Here are the highlights fromMicrosoft’s postabout the update as well as the full list of changes for Windows 11 version 23H2 and Windows 11 version 22H2 (all changes in version 22H2 also shipped to version 23H2):
