Windows 11 build 25163.1000 is the sixteenth Insider Preview and the tenth available client build of Copper, the 23H2 development semester of Windows as a service. It was released to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel on 20 July 2022.

Taskbar
The taskbar overflow feature, which has been absent since the initial release of Windows 11, has been re-added. The taskbar will automatically transition into the overflow state when it has hit its maximum capacity, and an ellipsis entry point to an overflow menu will appear on the taskbar to allow users to view all overflowed apps in one space.

Shell

 * The nearby sharing feature via the built-in Windows share window has been enhanced by using private UDP ports and Bluetooth to discover nearby devices.
 * The ability to choose OneDrive as a target to directly upload the file to OneDrive via the built-in Windows share window has been added.

Settings

 * The new Spotlight theme under the Personalization page, initially introduced in build 25140, is functional in this build.
 * This feature is disabled by default. To enable, run ViveTool from an elevated Command Prompt window to enable the  velocity ID.

File Explorer

 * Fixed an issue that was causing the dividers in File Explorer's navigation pane to show when the "Show all folders" option is enabled.
 * It also addressed the issues where dividers were unexpectedly showing in some other folder pickers.
 * Fixed an issue where Narrator wasn't reading out the titles of tabs as focus moved through them.
 * Fixed an issue where a closed tab might appear again in File Explorer after users dragged File Explorer across the monitors.
 * Fixed an issue where the tab row might unexpectedly expand vertically, covering the command bar contents.
 * Fixed an issue where removable drives might unexpectedly be displayed in a section by themselves in the navigation pane, which was breaking up the section with This PC and Network.
 * Fixed an issue where the add new tab button wasn't clearly visible when using Aquatic or Desert contrast themes.
 * Fixed an issue where the add new tab button might overlap with the minimize button in the title bar when using text scaling with a lot of tabs open.

Taskbar
Fixed a rare  crash that could happen while on a Microsoft Teams call, related to sharing windows from the taskbar.

Settings

 * Fixed an issue where using Windows Spotlight on the desktop might revert to a solid color background.
 * Fixed a couple issues that could lead to Quick Settings crashing on launch.

Suggested actions
