If you’ve installed the optional KB5008353 January Preview Update for Windows 11, you get a new feature that should make account management easier. As many have pointed out, the update adds a new Microsoft account panel to the Settings app, giving you control over your subscriptions.
The new Microsoft account settings panel doesn’t add too many extra controls, but it does make it easier to keep tabs on your Microsoft 365 subscriptions. Previously, you had to click a link that would take you to your web browser to manage Microsoft 365. Now, with the update, you can see when your subscription expires and how much space is shared on your OneDrive.
There are also links to learn more about Microsoft 365, when your next charge will be, and what benefits your account covers. Of course, there are links to manage Microsoft Rewards, payment options, order history, and even get account support. This all connects you to the Microsoft account online experience.
In addition to this new Microsoft account page, this optional update addresses the issue where image editing programs may not render colors correctly on some high dynamic range (HDR) displays. You can see the full changelog on Microsoft’s website. And, you can go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update to check it. In the Optional updates available area, you will find the link to download and install the update.
