- Features will be tested in multiple ways; new features, improvements, and fixes will be released gradually to users who have enabled updates, and then gradually rolled out to everyone in the Beta channel.
New Windows Hello
Microsoft is looking to radically improve Windows Hello, adding visual improvements and updates to make the authentication process more seamless for the user and compatible with modern designs. The new Windows Hello represents a major change in the sign-in experience, as it is in line with modern design standards and supports Microsoft's vision to provide easier and simpler user interfaces.
Visual updates and additional facilities
Visual updates in Windows Hello are designed to provide fast, clear communication. They appear on the Windows sign-in screen and in other windows that require authentication. These graphics are designed to make it easier for the user to understand and to easily guide them to the authentication options available to them.

Additionally, the update provides greater protection with a secure and fast authentication experience, as users can now easily switch between different devices and authentications that they prefer.
These updates are expected to enhance user protection and provide them with a convenient and easy sign-in experience, and this update also includes a new protection feature for administrators coming in Windows 11, version 24H2 and later.
General improvements in the update

Changes to the input panel
The Gamepad keyboard feature has been temporarily disabled in this build to address some issues that users experienced in the previous build. This feature started rolling out to Insiders in Build 22635.4145, and has been temporarily paused to address the issues that have arisen, to be rolled out again in future updates.
Fixes in the same release

With Windows 11 Build 22635.4440, it seems that Microsoft is moving steadily towards enhancing the user experience and providing a more integrated and secure system.
