Fixes
Fixes in Build 22631.2338
[General]
Fixed an issue which was causing some Insiders to see untranslated text in some areas across the system, including in File Explorer and Settings. If you’re continuing to see issues with translations, please file feedback.
[Taskbar & System Tray]
Fixed an issue where dragging app icons in the taskbar may sometimes lead to an explorer.exe crash.
Fixed an issue which was causing some Insiders to see labels in their taskbar unexpectedly.
Fixed an issue causing Task Manager to not launch for some Insiders.
[File Explorer]
Fixed an issue for dark mode users, where you would see a white flash when opening File Explorer.
Fixed an issue where after changing between dark and light mode, the icons in the command bar and context menu might become very difficult to see.
We made some more improvements to help with the performance of loading Home. Also fixed a memory leak related to Home that would grow each time Home was refreshed or accessed.
[Settings]
Fixed an issue where Settings wasn’t launching in safe mode for some Insiders.
[Task Manager]
Fixed an issue where the dialog when collecting a process memory dump erroneously said it was collecting a kernel memory dump.
[Dynamic Lighting]
Fixed an issue where you may not see the notification on first update to a build with dynamic lighting, letting you know that dynamic lighting is enabled.
