In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Beta Channel, which is Build 22635.3570.
Microsoft is making some changes to the Beta Channel:
- They will no longer release 2 different builds for the Beta Channel, and everyone will now be on the same build
- Insiders who want all the new features will need to toggle on the get the latest updates as they are available setting in Windows Update
- Features will be tested in 2 different ways: new features, improvements, and fixes that are being gradually rolled out for Insiders who have turned ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available and then new features, improvements, and fixes gradually rolling out to everyone in the Beta Channel.
New File Explorer Feature
Microsoft is rolling out the ability to duplicate a tab by right-clicking on a tab in File Explorer.
Copilot Changes
The New Features for Copilot, such as the ability to act like a normal window, or the New Icon animations whenever you were copying a text or image have stopped rolling out and could be released again in the future.
Fixes in this Build
File Explorer
- Fixed a memory leak when interacting with archive folders in File Explorer.
- Fixed a few issues impacting File Explorer reliability.
- Made a change to help fix an issue which could cause the spacing between your desktop icons to become extremely wide.
- Fixed a timing issue where if you start a search from Home in File Explorer, it may unexpectedly show no results the first time you tried.
- Did some work to help address an issue where the address bar dropdown might appear unexpectedly while you were using File Explorer.
Task Manager
- Updated the units (from MHz to MT/s) for DDR speed.
- Fixed an issue where the Safely Remove Hardware option for ejecting USB devices wouldn’t work if Task Manager was open.
- Did some work to ensure Task Manager releases process handles quickly when terminating processes.
- Made some more improvements to help with Task Manager reliability.
- We have improved the performance when changing the sort order.
- Made multiple improvements to overall accessibility of Task Manager, including improving keyboard focus, tab navigation, text scaling, names of items read out by screen readers, and more.
- We made it a little easier to resize Task Manager when trying to resize by grabbing the top of the window.
Start Menu
- We fixed the issue causing a component related to upgrading and restoring data from Windows Backup called “Global.WindowsMigration” to incorrectly show under the Start menu > All apps.
Copilot
- We are rolling out a fix for the issue causing Copilot to auto-launch unexpectedly for Windows Insiders in the Canary, Dev, and Beta Channels after restarting their PCs. This issue was unrelated to the auto-launching experience we tried out with Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels in early February which we stopped rolling out in March.
