Microsoft has just published a new update for Windows 11, although optional (still in preview), and offers useful work, not to mention a surprise.
Last Windows marked the changes that are part of the March Previous Update for Windows 11 23h2 (known as KB5053657). They include a smoothness of accessibility wrinkles in the file explorer and the addition of PC specifications information cards that have previously been seen in the tests.
With respect to the file explorer, which is the application that drives the windows that show your folders, and the files inside them, on the desktop, those of you who use larger text sizes for better visibility in this part of the interface, without a doubt, you have noticed that the text scale is not uniform here.
In other words, only some parts of the file explorer have the specified text scale applied, and some text, or in fact parts of the interface, such as the buttons, remain too small (without scale).
Obviously, that is uncomfortable and useless, in addition to being messy, but fortunately, Microsoft has solved it, so the scale is applied correctly in all the elements of the file explorer, according to the tests performed by Windows Last.
Going to the new specification cards, they were seen in the tests at the beginning of 2025, but they seem to have been implemented very quickly, transferring the tests and in this new optional update. In fact, that is a pleasant surprise, and these cards provide information about their CPU, RAM, storage and graphics card, although it still does not seem that the element of frequent questions has been implemented.
Another significant change with KB5053657 is the new Gamepad keyboard design, which allows you to write the use of the Windows 11 virtual keyboard with an Xbox controller (which includes direct access for the space bar, elimination, etc.).
Finally, there is a new emoji button in the taskbar, which extracts the emoji, gif panel and the combined clipboard panel. It is an optional feature, so you can deactivate the configuration icon if you never use it. Ah, and the functionality of access to voice in Windows 11 now has support for the Chinese language (both for simplified and traditional Chinese).
Remember, this is for Windows 11 23h2, and we have not yet seen the launch of the new update for 24h2 (although it is probably imminent, and will probably appear later today). I should carry these same changes, and maybe more.

ANALYSIS: CAUTION> Value with pre -view updates, especially because the wait for the full version will not spend much time
This is a very valuable update, then, given its accessibility improvements and that Gamepad keyboard. The latter will be very useful for those who run Windows 11 on a game hand computer (and it is a sign that Microsoft is still thinking about that complete portable mode for Windows 11, which was rumored for some time).
It is also good to have the present specifications cards, and I cannot believe how quickly they have transformed from a hidden characteristic that does not even visible in the tests to move on to an optional update. I suppose it is a relatively easy job to implement (it must have been), although the frequently asked questions section, providing personalized advice, which, as noted, is not yet present, will be the key element (as I discussed recently). With luck, that additional characteristic will be incorporated here in a short time.
If you want to see these new and brilliant things, you should warn you to install an update preview is not without potential dangers. These characteristics remain in the tests, and they could still be unstable, even if it is the last test stage, and nothing is very bad (those could be famous last words, of course).
In general, unless it is supervised for one of the above characteristics, I wait until next month for the complete launch. That’s when this previous view update will become the accumulated update of April for Windows 11, and that is not far now (it will be April 8, so it is an early debut for the update next month).
