In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Beta Channel, which is Build 22635.5025.
The Beta Channel is temporarily having 2 different Builds, one on 24H2 and the other on 23H2. Builds released on the Dev Channel, will also be released on the Beta Channel, in the month of February.
New Recommended Files in the File Explorer Homepage
Recommended files in File Explorer Home are now available to all Windows Insiders who are signed in with their personal Microsoft account (and local accounts). These files will provide you quick access to relevant files based on your activity in the Recommended section which is displayed as a carousel with thumbnail previews. This includes content such as files you frequently use, have recently downloaded, or added to your File Explorer Gallery. Users with a work/school account (Entra ID) will have additional types of recommendations available with this update. This change is not yet rolling out in the EEA (European Economic Area). Quick access folders will continue to be available in the navigation pane for easy access to pinned folders.
New Start Menu Feature
Microsof is trying out a new change where we will recommend a snap group in the Recommended section of the Start menu based on two apps that are most likely to be snapped together. Let us know what you think if you see this!
Search on the Taskbar Improvements
Improved support for web search providers in Windows Search for the EEA, including with increased discoverability.
New Share Edit/Compress Option
Microsoft is adding 2 New Options for the Share Window, when sharing an image, that will allow you to Edit and also Compress the image before sharing it.
Fix in this Build
File Explorer
- Fixed an issue causing File Explorer to be very slow to close for some Insiders when closing using the X button. This may have also impacted the other title bar buttons.
