Once again, on target, Microsoft released a new Windows 11 preview build on Wednesday. This time, Windows 11 build 25151 landed in the program’s Dev channel.
This is a version 23H2 build from the Sun Valley 3 development branch of the preview program, which is for the Windows 11 version that will be released in 2023.
As usual, this new build brings plenty of changes and improvements, along with the usual splattering of bug fixes that we expect from such builds. Prime among them are fixes for a number of issues plaguing the Windows Security app.
To get an idea of all that this version brings, give the announcement post a scan.
For starters, we have a couple of fixes for the File Explorer. Microsoft has fixed a scaling issue that could result in tabs being unexpectedly large. Also, right-clicking a tab and then clicking somewhere else in File Explorer should dismiss the context menu more reliably now.
Then we move on to Windows Security, where Redmond has taken care of a couple of problems.
The first is a high-impact app crash issue that the default security app suffered from. The other involves updating the Exclusions page in the Windows Security app so that file paths can better use the available space rather than truncating when space is still available.
That’s about it for the major fixes.
There are a bunch of known issues discovered in Windows 11 build 25151. Most of these involve the user interface, File Explorer, and widgets, and the details of all of these are available in the post linked above.
