Microsoft has released new builds of Windows 11 for Windows Insiders on the beta channel. KB5023780 takes the builds to 22624.1470 (with features) and 22621.1470 (without features).

Another feature that has been in test for a few weeks is a Copy to clipboard button when Windows detects a two-factor authentication notification.

Also added is a VPN indicator in the system tray:

The final change has also been in test for a while. Windows now gives you the option of showing seconds on the system clock:

Known issues

[Live captions]

• On ARM64 devices, enhanced speech recognition support installed through the Language & Region settings page will require restarting live captions if you switch languages in the live captions Caption language menu.
• Certain languages shown on the Language & Region settings page will indicate speech recognition support (e.g., Korean) but don’t yet have support for live captions.
• When adding a language through the Language & Region settings page, language feature installation progress may become hidden, and you may not see install completion of “Enhanced speech recognition” (required by Live Captions). (You can use the language’s “Language options” to monitor progress.) If this happens, there may be an unexpected delay before the live caption setup experience detects this and lets you continue.
• Captioning performance may be degraded in non-English languages and missing out-of-language filtering in non-English (United States) languages which means that incorrect captions will be shown for speech not in the caption language.
