Live commands, 2FA replication, and content-aware brightness settings: Microsoft may be releasing these features for a test build of Windows 11, but they should be coming to your PC soon.

Microsoft released Windows 11 Build 22621.1776 (KB5026446) to the Windows Insider channel on Thursday. This is a sign that, unlike many of Microsoft's experimental features, the changes in the new build will actually be hitting your PC soon. Microsoft has said that it will release new feature packages "in moments" between official major feature releases, and this looks like it could be next.
We've seen many of these new features appear in previous preview builds, but it's worth recapping them here. And there are a lot of them! Here are some of the highlights of the new build, as listed by Microsoft. (If you have a PC running a Release Preview build, you can ensure you get the new features by opening Settings > Windows Update and turning on the "Get the latest updates as they're available" switch.).

Content-Aware Brightness Control:Microsoft is introducing a new feature to Windows laptops and two-in-ones that was originally designed for desktops. This feature adjusts the brightness and contrast of the display to enhance videos with dark and bright scenes, similar to HDR. To enable or disable this feature, go to the Display section in Settings and adjust the brightness control.
OneDrive storage: You'll see the full amount of storage available across all your OneDrive now displayed on the Accounts page in the Settings app.
Tab limits for Alt+Tab: When you press Alt+Tab, Windows can draw from your most recent tabs as selection options. Windows will now let you limit them to the 20 most recent tabs within Settings > Multitasking.
Copy 2FA: Most phones allow for two-factor authentication (2FA), which can send an authorization code via text. If you have a phone connected to your computer via Phone Link, you can now automatically copy the 2FA codes that are sent. (Some services, like Google, are moving to using passkeys instead.)
New Print Screen shortcut: PrtScn will now open the Snipping Tool app. This feature is now rolling out to the Preview build.
