Windows 11 Moment 5 is currently the latest version of Windows 11, released on April’s Patch Tuesday. The update prepares for the update to Windows 11 version 24H2, which will be released later this year, and adds some new features intended to simplify and streamline everyday tasks in Windows.

This is accompanied by the new update KB5036893, which activates the new features from Windows 11’s Moment 5 on compatible computers.

In addition to the new features listed below, Microsoft made some improvements under the hood with this new Windows 11 update. USB ports can now deliver up to 80Gbps, but the hardwired connections in your laptop or desktop must be technically capable of handling the higher specification.

Users can uninstall system apps

With Windows 11 Moment 5, users can uninstall more pre-installed apps than previously possible. For example, Microsoft Edge can be completely removed from Windows 11. Other apps, such as Camera or Photos, can also be removed from the system.

Better arrangement of windows

By dragging a window to the edge of the screen, Windows 11 now suggests an intelligent arrangement of all windows. If you move the mouse over the icon to maximize the window, Windows 11 will display the new, intelligent functions without you having to hold and drag windows. Windows also displays the programs' icons arranged in the various windows on the screen.

This feature is called “Snap Layout.” With Windows 11 Moment 5, Microsoft is expanding these functions and offering more options for the automatic arrangement of windows. It takes some getting used to, but if you often work with several applications at the same time, you’ll quickly learn how to use it, and it makes it much easier to arrange windows.

Windows Airdrop is being expanded

With the Windows feature “Nearby,” also known as “Nearby Sharing,” users can share files between Windows PCs more easily. This function is based on Airdrop in macOS. With the new Moment 5 update, users can control the sharing of details — for example, the PC name when using “Nearby.” This makes sharing easier.

Foundry

Microsoft has improved sharing in Windows 11 Moment 5 in general. In many places, including Windows Explorer, files can be shared more easily. Environment sharing appears more frequently here. In addition, you will now find more apps in the quick menu for sharing, such as Teams, Whatsapp, or Facebook.

Fix problems more easily

In the future, the option “Fix problems using Windows Update” will be available in the Windows 11 settings under System > Recovery. If Microsoft knows your problem and an update is available to help fix it, it can be installed here.
