June’s optional Windows 11 preview update is now rolling out. Coming in atKB5014668 (OS Build 22000.778), this update brings a new feature, which is search highlights.

For those unfamiliar, search highlights is a feature for the Windows 11 search box. It will show you notable and interesting moments of what’s special about each day of the year. You’ll see things like holidays, anniversaries, and educational moments in time in your region. That sometimes means seeing a Google doodle-like animation and image in the search box area. Check it out below.

Enterprise users, meanwhile, will end up seeing the latest updates from their organization, related to files and people. If you don’t like the feature, you can turn it off. Just change the “show search highlights” toggle, under privacy and security, and search permissions in Windows 11’s settings. Other than search highlights, this preview update brings a ton of other fixes and improvements to Windows 11. Here’s some of the scoop, and you can check thefull changelog at Microsoft.

There’s one known issue in this update, where some .NET Framework 3.5 apps might have issues or might fail to open. You’ll need to fix this by re-enabling .NET Framework 3.5 and the Windows Communication Foundation in Windows Features. Note that this update also brings Windows 11 servicing stack update – 22000.761, too. This ensures that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates.
