The Feedback Hub application now supports both options to upvote existing feedback as well as the option to “Add similar feedback.” This will improve the process of communicating the precise issues experienced by users directly to Microsoft. If you are subscribed to the Dev Insider Channel, you shall receive this update by now. Let us dig into what other things this build offers.
What’s new in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21322
Feedback Hub: Upvote option
Insiders can now upvote existing feedback from another insider and explain in detail how they experienced a similar issue. On top of that, they can still enter separate yet similar feedback by clicking the “Add similar feedback” button alongside the Problems as well as the Suggestions. Microsoft believes that incorporating both these options side by side will enable users to better communicate their issues with Windows 10 so that Microsoft can respond accordingly. Users can also attach screenshots or video recordings to elaborate on their issues or suggestions.
Other changes and improvements
Here is a list of other improvements made by Microsoft with Build 21322:
The “3D Objects” folder will now no longer be accessible for quick-access through File Explorer.
