Windows 11 KB5023778 is now available for download as an optional cumulative update on systems running 22H2. This update is a big release as it brings some new features to the OS. Microsoft has made the direct download links for Windows 11 KB5022913 offline installers publicly accessible on its Update Catalog.
Windows 11 update KB5023778 is an optional update. Microsoft won’t try to download or install the update to your system unless you manually click the “Download and install” link next to the optional update.
The previous optional update enabled “Moment 2” in Windows 11 22H2, which was pretty big in terms of new features. While March 2023’s optional update is relatively small compared to the February update, it still comes with many new additions worth checking out.
For example, Microsoft is introducing support for Microsoft account notifications in the Start menu. A notification will appear promoting OneDrive and Microsoft accounts directly within the Start menu. The tech giant said only select users would see the alert initially, but the company will expand the feature to more users in the coming weeks.
Microsoft is also bringing changes to the search box in Windows 11. After the update, you’ll notice that the search box looks lighter when the custom colour mode of Windows is used. This happens when Windows 11’s default theme is dark, but the app mode is light in Settings > Personalization > Colors.
Remember that this patch is titled “2023-03 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5023778)”.
As always, you can skip this week’s optional update and receive the improvements in April 2023 Patch Tuesday update, which is set to arrive in the second week of next month.
