Microsoft has rolled out a mandatory cumulative update for Windows 11 as part of its April 2022 Patch Tuesday security updates. The update adds the ability to easily switch the default browser in Windows 11, which was in the works for a long time. In addition, Microsoft has also released a cumulative update for Windows 10 with the Search Highlights feature. Check out the details below.

Microsoft has rolled out the KB5012592 update for Windows 11, which takes its build number to 22000.613. It is a mandatory update for users and brings various security fixes and new features to Windows 11, including a notification system, and the much-awaited ability to easily change the default web browser.

The new “Set Default” button for web browsers arrives alongside the new notification delivery system that was also a part of last month’s optional KB5011563 update. The new system shows up to four toast notifications like calls, reminders, and alarms simultaneously.
