Windows 11 build 22000.778 fixes issue with Wi-Fi hotspots and more

Microsoft has released a new cumulative update for Windows 11, this one being the optional monthly update for June. With this update (labeled KB5014668), you’ll receive Windows 11 build 22000.778, and it comes with the new search highlights feature as well as a wide range of fixes.

Search highlights is a feature that actually showed up first on Windows 10, and it’s been available for a couple of months there. It finally came to Windows 11 Insiders in the Release Preview channel last week, and now anyone can get it, if they want to get this optional update.

Essentially, it makes it so that when you open the Windows search interface in the taskbar and Start menu, you’ll see highlights of historical events and other things related to that particular day. You might see some articles in celebration of specific holidays, for example. For business users, this feature is a bit more useful, as it can surface important contacts and recent documents in your organization.

Aside from that, the update is all about fixes, as cumulative updates tend to be. One of the most notable ones is for a known issue that Microsoft acknowledged last week, which could prevent Wi-Fi hotspots from working. The issue would make it so that the host computer would lose connection to the internet after creating a hotspot, but now, that’s fixed. There are a lot more fixes, though. Here are the highlights in this release:

• New! Introducing search highlightsSearch highlights will present notable and interesting moments of what’s special about each day—like holidays, anniversaries, and other educational moments in time both globally and in your region. To see search highlights, click or tap on the search icon on your taskbar.

  For enterprise customers, search highlights will also feature the latest updates from your organization and suggest people, files, and more.

  Search highlights will roll out to Windows 11 customers over the next several weeks. We are taking a phased and measured approach. Broad availability will occur in the coming months. For group configuration information, see Group configuration: search highlights in Windows.
