UPDATE 7/15: KB5004252 Windows 11 Insider Preview Dev Build 10.0.22000.71 - July 15

Hello Windows Insiders,

We are so excited to have so many of you running the first preview of Windows 11 and we’re busy looking at all your feedback that’s coming in. Today we are releasing an update (Build 22000.65) to everyone in the Dev Channel with a good set of improvements and fixes that will make your Windows 11 experience even better!

Changes and Improvements

  • Start now has a search box to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.
  • Taskbar will now show across multiple monitors which can be enabled via Settings > Personalization > Taskbar.
  • We have updated several system alert dialog boxes such as the alert for when the battery is running low on your laptop or when you change your display settings with the new Windows 11 visual design.
  • The ‘Power mode’ settings are now available on the Power & battery page in Settings.
  • Right clicking the desktop now directly has a Refresh option without needing to click “Show more options”.
  • Right clicking a .ps1 file in File Explorer now directly has a Run with PowerShell options without needing to click “Show more options”.
  • Available snap layouts when using smaller PCs in portrait orientation have been optimized for that posture. You can now choose to snap three apps on top of each other, instead of four quadrants.
  • Based on the collaboration with the most popular GIF provider in China, weshineapp.com, GIF selections are now available for Windows Insiders in China via the emoji panel (WIN + .). If the location is set as China, then GIF data will appear from weshineapp.com.
  • Right-clicking on the volume icon in the taskbar now includes an option to troubleshoot sound problems.

Fixes

  • We fixed a remote code execution exploit in the Windows Print Spooler service, known as “PrintNightmare”, as documented in CVE-2021-34527. For more information, see KB5004945.
  • Taskbar:
    • We fixed an issue where it wasn’t possible to click the Show Desktop button with your mouse at the very edge of the Taskbar.
    • We fixed an issue where the date and time in the Taskbar weren’t reflecting your preferred format.
    • We fixed an issue where the preview window might not display the entire window when hovering over Task View on the Taskbar.
    • We fixed an issue pressing ESC or clicking the desktop wouldn’t dismiss the window of open app preview thumbnails if you set focus to it after pressing WIN + T.
    • We fixed an issue where if you rotate a PC to portrait orientation and back to landscape, it could result in app icons not displaying in the Taskbar despite there being room.
  • Settings:
    • We fixed an issue resulting in Settings failing to launch. If you were impacted in the previous flight, please see here.
    • We fixed a noticeable stutter in the animation when closing Quick Settings and Notification Center by clicking on their respective icons in the taskbar.
    • We fixed an issue where the Quick Settings and Notification Center windows were missing shadows.
    • We fixed an issue where it wasn’t possible to launch Quick Settings by setting keyboard focus to it in the taskbar and pressing the Enter key.
    • We fixed an issue where Quick Settings wouldn’t render correctly if you removed all settings except volume.
    • We fixed an issue that mitigates Focus Assist enabling unexpectedly.

    • We fixed an issue where the title of the Advanced Options page under Windows Update in Settings could be missing.
    • We fixed an issue where the “Windows privacy options” at the bottom of Privacy & Security > Search Permissions in Settings wasn’t working.
    • We fixed an issue where the Open Navigation button could become overlapped with other text.
    • We fixed an issue causing Settings to crash when applying a theme under Contrasts.
    • We fixed an issue where parts of Settings were unexpectedly in English for some non-English languages.
  • File Explorer:

    • We fixed an issue that could result in the elements of File Explorer’s title bar being unreadable due to low contrast.
    • We fixed an issue where some of the icons in File Explorer’s context menu could be blurry.
    • We fixed an issue where the “see more” menu in File Explorer’s command bar wouldn’t dismiss when you clicked on Options.
    • We fixed an issue that could result in not being able to create a new folder on the desktop.
  • Search:
    • We fixed an issue resulting in Search having grey boxes sometimes instead of app icons.
    • We fixed an issue that could result in Search dropping the first keystroke when pressing the Windows key and starting to type.
    • We fixed an issue where when hovering your mouse over the Search icon on the taskbar, the third recent search would not load and remained blank.

I agree with Edwin, The Search Bar isn't needed on the Start Menu. For those who don't know they can click on the Start icon and start typing to do a search can click on the Search icon on the Taskbar.....
What the addition of the search bar on Start does is show 'those who don't know' that they can in fact do that. IMHO that's the only justification for putting it there.

Yes, you have been able to do that since Windows 7, but not a lot of people knew that - one of them being me. I didn't start searching from Start in W7 until after I had got into the habit of doing it in W10 :wink:

You can remove it, AFAIK it is left overs from Cortana, same look when you open it.

Why not a 'show search box in start menu' (on|off) toggle in settings?

They should do something about the taskbar for opened apps on the left hand side of the taskbar since it seems unlike Windows 10, there is no longer scrolling arrows to see what doesn't fit. Sometimes apps want attention and the icon would light up. They should really just keep the pin apps there and just have the TaskView icon highlighted if a app wants attention.

I noticed that with Windows 11 22000.65, some .jpg's which is linked to Photos would show the preview for the thumbnail while others do not and .mp4's which is linked to Movies & TV no longer shows the preview for the thumbnail. Both of these worked correctly in 22000.51.

It's a good justification IMO. There's plenty of room on the :win: menu, now it isn't full of mondrian-style colour blocks, dating back 9
years to the despised, unmentionable even-numbered Windows version before the last, which has become the last no longer, recently. However, the taskbar is now prime screen real estate, if you don't want to keep going back to the desktop, so why is 🔎 even there on the taskbar? In effect, why have 2 🔎 buttons on the taskbar, when just :win: does the same job as 🔎 and more?

Agreed. You can turn off the redundant 🔎 in Taskbar setting, it's only on by default.

Why not a 'show search box in start menu' (on|off) toggle in settings?
I would like to be able to turn off/hide the Search Bar and the Recommended Box. I did remove all the programs that were shown.

If you select Auto hide the Taskbar does it show on top of Skype when you move the mouse cursor to the bottom?
No, Skype takes up the whole screen, and all the icons are at its bottom. Which is why I need the taskbar at the top.

Can someone explain the logic of adding the search box to the top of the Start Menu...

View attachment 2617

... you do not need to put cursor focus into that box...,
you either click/press on Start or press WinKey and start typing...,
and it goes to another UI anyway...

View attachment 2618

I don't get it! Is there any logic there? :unsure:
I never noticed it at all! Although, I haven't seen a whole lot of logic yet!

I'm stuck on win10.
Had to fix some error where Feature Update 21H1 would fail. Did an in place upgrade to fix that one, and now on Insider Dev Channel waiting for W11 update to get sent.

Can I just grab the iso from the opening post and get W11 that way?

Yes you can. Many of us use that service to build an ISO image file every time there is a new Windows update.

Thanks, Fabler. I've never used the online version of Skype. However, from what I can see of yours, you either have the taskbar or you have the "Skype Taskbar" that shows the Skype icons. My problem is that I need both.

Which app do you use or is it the installer? This is Skype installed, with the window shortened.
