Microsoft is working on improvements to the file explorer in Windows 11. So the function now comes back that external links open again in tabs instead of in new windows. Crashes when copying files have also been remedied.
Improvements for the File Explorer
With the latest Windows 11 update in the beta channel, Windows insiders are now getting a preview of a number of improvements. With the Build 22635.5170 (KB5055623) for Windows 11 23H2, Microsoft mainly focuses on optimizations of the file explorer and fixes some disturbing errors in the start menu. One of the most important changes concerns the way the file explorer deals with external links.
Microsoft now brings back the function that folders that are opened from outside of the file explorer-for example via an app or desktop-appear in a new tab if a file explorer window is already open. This function has been temporarily deactivated to fix problems. If you prefer to continue to prefer new windows instead of tabs, you can change the standard behavior in the folder options under “General> Search folder”.
Like, Microsoft im Windows Insider Blog continues an error was also remedied that could lead to the crash of the file explorer when copying or renaming files in earlier builds. In addition, the labels introduced in Build 22635,4660 were deactivated again in the context menu of the file explorer. Windows insiders who want to continue to use this function can update Windows 11 version 24H2. Improvements were also made on the start menu.
A problem in which the “Log off” buttons and “Further options” in the start -up menu may not be visible when the text size increases. In addition, Microsoft corrected an error when entering in some apps that may no longer work after separating a remote desktop session.
Known problems and availability
Despite the improvements, there are still some known problems. An error in the start menu is particularly striking: when right-clicking on an app, the context menu “Start Settings” flashes briefly before the actual app context menu appears.
As usual, the update is gradually made available to insiders in the beta channel. Microsoft relies on the so-called “Controlled Feature Rollout” technology, in which new functions are initially only distributed to a subset of the insider. Users who want to have access to the latest functions can activate the corresponding switch in the Windows update settings.
