If it ain’t broke… Windows update makes signing out simple again

Microsoft recently made updates to the Windows Start menu, sparking quite a conversation.

What Happened?
In an attempt to streamline the Start menu, Microsoft grouped related settings, but this meant hiding the sign-out option under a three-dot menu, which left some users puzzled.

Listening to user feedback, Microsoft is now testing an update to return the sign-out button to its previous, easily accessible spot.

Why This Matters for Teams
For teams using shared computers with multiple profiles, this small but impactful change makes switching accounts smoother. It’s one of several features currently being tested for the broader Windows 11 update.

Additional New Features
Beyond the Start menu adjustment, Windows 11 will soon include:

  • Media controls on the lock screen for managing music and videos
  • Direct file-sharing from search results

These updates highlight how small tweaks can enhance team productivity and ease of use.
