Microsoft's Windows 11 22h2 development build 25120 includes experimental interactive desktop features, with the release to manufacturing (RTM) set for May 24, 2022, according to internal testing channels. Registered users have received the build, which introduces a persistent search bar at the desktop top for direct query input without launching applications.
The feature can be disabled through system settings. Other updates address Wi-Fi visibility issues and game anti-cheat stability problems. Microsoft's interactive desktop concept aligns with broader Windows 11 development, which traces back to 2021 efforts to resolve installation errors like 0x8007007f.
The 22h2 version is part of a multi-year development cycle, with the full Windows 11 release planned for 2023. Technical adjustments continue through 2022, as the company refines features ahead of the final launch.
