Windows 11 Patch Tuesday tweaks taskbar and adds handy icon in system tray for AI effects

Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates are usually important when it comes to security but lack any exciting changes. That's mostly the case this month, but there are some improvements that ship with the update that are more noticeable, though I'm not sure I'd go as far as to call them exciting.

Following the February Patch Tuesday update, Windows 11's system tray will show an icon when you open an app that supports Windows Studio Effects. The taskbar now features improved animations and previews for apps as well. Windows 11 gains other handy features in the update, including support for changing time zones through the Date & Time section of the Settings app.
