New features and changes[edit | edit source]

File Explorer[edit | edit source]

The revamped, XAML-based user interface of the Details pane, initially introduced in build 25276, has been refined. This feature is disabled by default, but can be toggled on manually by enabling the 38613007 velocity ID.
A new Collections dropdown button has been added to the command bar under the Gallery page. This feature is disabled by default, but can be toggled on manually by enabling the 41040327 and 42295138 velocity IDs.

Shell[edit | edit source]

Urgent or important notifications will show a "View notification" button to view the content of the notification when using an app in full screen.

Settings[edit | edit source]

A new, non-functional "End Task" option has been added under Privacy & security > For developers to enable the new "End task" option in the app's context menu on the taskbar (initially implemented in build 25300.)

Bugfixes[edit | edit source]

Fixed an underlying issue that was causing an increase in explorer.exe crashes.
Fixed an issue where text input features like touch keyboard, voice typing, and emoji panel might not launch.
Fixed an issue where the buttons in the Microsoft Pinyin IME's settings flyout were hard to see when they had focus if a contrast theme was enabled.
Fixed an issue that was impacting Task Manager reliability.
Fixed an issue that was causing the search box in Task Manager to be cropped at the top when the window is maximized.
Fixed an issue where in Quick Settings, Narrator was reading out the previous page's title instead of the active page's.
Fixed an issue that was causing the Get started window to not open incorrectly after downloading voice access.
Fixed an issue where popups for voice access weren't translated correctly.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

File Explorer[edit | edit source]

The access keys in the XAML context menu may appear inconsistently if no button is pressed. Pressing a button will cause them to reappear.
Clicking on the Share command may bring up the Windows share sheet (non-OneDrive) when the file recommendations feature is enabled.

Shell[edit | edit source]

Right-clicking a file or folder while pressing ⇧ Shift may not open the legacy context menu in certain cases.
Users may see the daily rotating search highlight for some time before getting the new Bing button back to the search box on the taskbar.

Settings[edit | edit source]

When adding a language via the Language & Region page, the installation progress may become hidden, and users may not see install completion for enhanced speech recognition.
The Language & Region page may not offer the necessary speech recognition language support for live captions for up to an hour after first login.

Live captions[edit | edit source]

The enhanced speech recognition support may not be installed correctly through the Language & Region page in the Settings app on ARM64 devices.
Captioning performance may be degraded in non-English languages and missing out-of-language filtering in non-English (United States) languages.

Safe mode[edit | edit source]

Quick Settings and date/time clock on the taskbar may be missing due to the Capability Access Manager Service service not running.
Clicking Bluetooth & devices and Personalization pages may crash the Settings app due to an overrun of a stack-based buffer 0xc0000409.
