Microsoft has unveiled the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23620 in the Dev Channel. This build focuses on addressing various issues and enhancing the overall user experience. Here are the key highlights of this release:
Fixes in Build 23620:
- Start Menu: Resolved an issue cutting off labels like "System" in the Start menu's all apps list when text scaling is above 100%.
- File Explorer: Addressed an issue impacting the reliability of explorer.exe.
- Widgets: Fixed the problem where Microsoft Start feed announcements were displayed on the taskbar even after hiding the feed.
- Task Manager: Improved the reliability of Task Manager on recent builds.
- Accessibility: Fixed voice access crashes during language setup and multiple crashes affecting the Narrator, including issues with adding new natural voices.
Known Issues:
- Copilot in Windows: Users may need to use "Show grid" commands when launching Copilot in Windows with voice access for the first time.
- Widgets: Keyboard navigation from settings subpages back to the top-level Settings page is currently broken.
For Developers:
Developers can download the latest Windows Insider SDK, offering .NET TFM packages, C++ packages, and BuildTools for app development. These SDK NuGet packages provide more granular access to the SDK and better integration in CI/CD pipelines.
About the Dev Channel:
The Dev Channel has been restructured, with previous members on 25000 series builds now moved to the new Canary Channel. Going forward, the Dev Channel will receive 23000 series builds, offering long-lead work from Microsoft engineers. The Dev Channel functions as a testing ground for new concepts and features that may not be released to general customers. Insiders can move back to the Dev Channel by following specific instructions for clean installation.
The Dev Channel provides early access to experimental features and experiences that may evolve, change, or never be released to the public. Features may be tested in the Canary Channel first before reaching the Dev Channel for better platform stability.
Conclusion:
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23620 in the Dev Channel showcases Microsoft's dedication to refining the user experience, fixing issues, and testing new features. Insiders can experience these early builds, provide feedback, and contribute to shaping the future of Windows 11.
