Microsoft is rolling out its latest test build of Windows 11 to its Insiders, and it is promising to make it easier to use. Windows 11 will show a list of supported devices in the Quick Settings menu, with visible battery levels for supported devices. The new list allows users to connect to new devices without having to open the full settings menu. It takes a cue from the way Windows 11's Quick settings handle audio and wi-fi networks.

New touch gestures and Start menu folders are included in the latest update to Windows 11. If you switch between a bunch ofBluetooth devices, it can be difficult to find the right interface for Windows. It has taken Microsoft a long time to make improvements to the interface of Windows 10. The next build of Windows 11 may seem like a small improvement, but it can make it easier for Windows machines to connect to the internet.

Being part of the Windows Insiders testing program doesn't guarantee that this new feature will be available right away, or even at all, though this one looks like a slam dunk.
