In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Dev Channel, which is Build 23560.
Copilot in ALT+TAB
Microsoft is beginning to roll out the ability to use Copilot in Windows with ALT + TAB. Using the ALT + TAB hotkey now displays the thumbnail preview for Copilot in Windows among the other thumbnail previews of open windows, which you can switch between by pressing Tab. [UPDATE] This change does not change the ALT + TAB experience in Windows 11. Copilot only shows in ALT + TAB if Copilot is invoked from the taskbar.
File Explorer Share Changes
When sharing a link, more apps/sites will be suggested in the Share using section + The Copy link option has been moved from “Share using” to the top of the share sheet, next to the link itself.
Thanks to PhantomOcean3 for discovering this Feature.
Microsoft Store Update
The latest Microsoft Store Update in the Dev and Canary Channels should load faster when opening it.
New Nearby Sharing Experience
This Build also updates the nearby sharing rename experience: a character count out of 16 is now shown on the right and you will apparently now be warned if the name exceeds the maximum character limit.
Thanks to PhantomOcean3 for discovering this Feature.
