Microsoft have released build 25174 of Windows 11 for Windows Insiders on the dev channel. The build has new game pass widget as well as plenty of fixes.
The new Game Pass Widget is an entry point to Microsoft’s game pass so you can access your Xbox profile and games. If you are a Game Pass subscriber then it’s a usefully addition. The can add the widget by:
Open the widgets board.
Click on the + icon next to your user profile.
Click on the + icon besides the Game Pass
Close the Widget settings window.
The Game Pass widget should now appear in your widgets board.
The rest of the changes are minor including an option to open new file explorer tabs with a middle click.
Here are the changes and known issues:
Changes and Improvements
[File Explorer]
Middle clicking a folder in the navigation pane of File Explorer will now open it in a new tab, like clicking a folder in the body of File Explorer already does. Please note that this requires tabbed File Explorer, which hasn’t rolled out to everyone in the Dev Channel yet.
Fixes
[File Explorer]
Fixed an issue which could cause explorer.exe to crash when opening new File Explorer windows.
Fixed an issue where launching File Explorer in certain ways when using dark mode (for example, from the command line) was showing the body of File Explorer unexpectedly in light mode.
Fixed an issue where the left/right arrows in File Explorer were in light mode when you were using dark mode, causing them to not have enough contrast to show when they were enabled.
Fixed an issue where the dividers in the navigation pane were overlapping / drawing too close to text sometimes.
Fixed an issue where if you drag and drop a folder into the navigation pane was sometimes unexpectedly putting the folder at the bottom of the list rather than where you’d dropped it.
Fixed an issue causing UI issues in File Explorer when using F11 to put File Explorer in full screen mode.
[Taskbar]
Fixed an issue leading to various system tray elements being unexpectedly missing for some Insiders on the previous build.
[Settings]
Fixed a crash on some PCs were experiencing when going to System > Storage > Disks & Volumes.
[Other]
Fixed an issue which was leading to mouse and keyboard input not working correctly in certain games in the last 2 flights.
Fixed an issue believed to be leading to SQL Server Management Studio failing to launch for some Insiders.
Fixed an issue where Memory Integrity in Windows Security might show a warning saying it couldn’t be enabled due to incompatible drivers, but the incompatible drivers list would be blank.
Fixed an issue which was causing some apps to unexpectedly not launch in the last few flights when core isolation was enabled in Windows Security.
NOTE: Some fixes noted here in Insider Preview builds from the Dev Channel may make their way into the servicing updates for the released version of Windows 11.
