Microsoft has released the Moment 4 update for Windows 11 as mandatory patch KB5031455. You can postpone installing it for a while, but you won’t be able to completely abandon it; later it will still be downloaded and installed.

- New “Explorer” — with cloud integration and improved work with tabs.
- Archiver — with the ability to unpack and pack RAR, 7z and other formats.
- New Photos app — with several additional features, including background blur in photos.

- Updated Scissors utility — with optical text recognition on screenshots and saving text data.
- Windows Backup is an application for saving operating system settings and applications in case of recovery in case of computer failure.
- “Dynamic lighting”—adjusts the lighting of gaming components.

After installing the KB5031455 patch, the Windows 11 build number changes to 22621.2506. Moment 4 is a small part of the 23H2 update, which is already ready and will be released in the coming weeks.
