New Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.1586 – File Explorer Improvements, Taskbar Change, and more (Release Preview)

In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Release Preview Channel, which is Build 26100.1586.

Taskbar

The End task option no longer shows a not responding dialog before it stops a task. This option is only available when you turn on End task in Settings > System > For Developers.

Settings

New Options for Mouse, such as changing Scrolling Direction and enable Enhance Pointer Precision.

The new mouse options (scrolling direction, enhance pointer precision toggle) in Settings from recent Insider builds will be coming not just to version 24H2, but to 23H2/22H2 as well – they are present in today's Beta build (22635.4076) but not rolling out just yet. https://t.co/jU0284Sc3l pic.twitter.com/yysz06nJM5

• When you search from Home for the first time, you might not get any results.
• The address bar dropdown menu might appear when you do not expect it.
