As part of the new visual improvements, Windows 11 build 25188 introduces a new “Show the touch keyboard when there’s no keyboard attached” touch keyboard setting inside the “Typing” settings page. The new settings include three options to control whether tapping an edit control should launch the touch keyboard:

“Never” suppresses the touch keyboard even when no hardware keyboard is attached. “When no keyboard attached” will show the touch keyboard only when the device is used as a tablet without the hardware keyboard. “Always” will show the touch keyboard even when the hardware keyboard is attached.

In the “Network & internet” section of the Settings app, the Wi-Fi and VPN properties now include a link to open the advanced properties for that specific network. Also, the Windows Terminal is the new default command-line application on Windows 11. In addition, this flight includes various fixes for File Explorer, Taskbar, and Settings.
