The Windows 11 Moment 5 update has been officially available to eligible PC users for a few days. However, this new version is initially only available in the form of an optional update.

As with every update of its operating system, Microsoft proceeds in waves. When the update is finally stable, Microsoft will initially only offer it to users who expressly request it. In fact, to get it before everyone else, it is necessary to activate an option in the update settings of Windows 11 to indicate that you want to be served first. Microsoft will then begin distributing its update to a broader target before fully opening the floodgates to offer it to everyone via a monthly update scheduled to arrive here on April 9th.

For now, even if you manage to install the update on your computer, there is no sign that you will benefit from all the new features announced by Microsoft. And for good reason: If certain new features depend on the hardware configuration, Microsoft has made a habit of gradually distilling the new features in its update. If you are one of the first users to install this optional update (KB5034848), there is a good chance that you will not be able to access all features yet.

But don't panic, even if they are not visible on your computer, the new features are there but not activated. It's also easy to force it to be activated manually.
