KB5026435 Changelog
- This update brings back an improved search box experience on the Windows 10 taskbar. If you have a top, bottom, regular, or small icons taskbar, you will see the search box appear. You can use it to easily access apps, files, settings, and more from Windows and the web. You will also have access to the latest search updates, such as search highlights. If you want to restore your previous search experience, you can do that easily. To do that, use the taskbar context menu or respond to a dialog that appears when you use search.
- This update now displays up to three high-priority toast notifications simultaneously. This feature affects apps that use Windows OS notifications to send notices for calls, reminders, or alarms.
