Insider KB5025299 Windows 11 Insider Beta 22621.1610 and 22624.1610 - April 13

Finally got the switch to "Get the latest updates as soon........", Windows Update downloaded the last Update Stack Package, in the next boot it appeared

22624.1610....looks like the Taskbar bug that was present in the last two Beta builds that caused the Run apps to delay running and displaying operational status from the taskbar has been fixed! Looks that way. Will post if situation reverts. No other problems to report so far.

Shift Right click on Desktop no longer loads the older menu (show more options)

Works fine for me (knock on wood)

Yet again I saw the update on this forum first and discovered it waiting for permission to install, seems ok so far. Afterwards, I noticed the mention of the stack package and that installed in seconds.

in windows blog there's a update:

UPDATE 4/14: Insiders in the Beta Channel already on Build 22624 and toggle this on will NOT see a “Windows configuration update” offered via Windows Update due to a bug we’re investigating. Thanks to Insiders who gave feedback on this.

I meant to ask in the last build, what is the point of the extra keys option when pressing menu key when highlighting a file in Windows Explorer?

Anyone?

PurSpyk!! · Apr 16, 2023

This seems odd, what is a postcode file?

Seems like another pointless option, time should rather be spent on real fixes, and not this type of crap

A somewhat over zealous translation into UK English, by the looks of things, probably done by an unsupervised AI. :lmao:

That of course should say 'Compress to Zip file', and as we all know a 'ZIP code' in the US is the equivalent of a Postcode in the UK.

Yes, the sky is falling and the AI's are going to kill us all! *snicker*

It's a regional thing. The reason ours says Postcode is that we have the en-gb version. The word Zip has been mistakenly 'translated' from your US 'ZIP code' to the UK English equivalent word 'Postcode'.

I posted a similar comment on 624.1610 a few days ago but probably put it on the wrong thread.

I am looking for a version that:

1) doesn't muck around with settings on reboot, taskbar fiddles etc
2) provides a reliable, consistent and fast copy/move of large files (200+Gb) across external disks

I tried 621 versions to 621.1555 and then 624 versions to 624.1537 (UUP). Version 621.1555 seemed stable enough but O/S cache management did not remain reliably constant on copy/transfer - just went yo-yo style, even to the point of stopping entirely in the middle of copy/move. Version 624.1537 had continuously messed-up settings, so this was quickly discarded.

Then I installed version 624.1610 some 5 days ago and it seems to have resolved both issues. Copy/move speed remains high and consistent, with time for each operation reduced about 23-24% between 621.1555 and 624.1610. Objective test - for both versions tested I used the same PC, same 200+Gb files, same external disks. After I'd sorted fonts, missing Console snaps, Hyper-V reinstall and so on, stability appears. So the Holy Grail quest is subsided.

It's not often I praise MS, but the continuous update offers, especially as the UUP resource is not interfered with, combined with the "Update without loss of files and settings" (though not 100% accurate) are a huge and welcome improvement.

Why are you using Insider versions if you want stability?

By definition Insider versions can be unstable.

The current release version is 22621.1555.

Known Issue -

If you main issue is with large file copies, use an alternative non cached method like robocopy, teracopy, fast copy etc.

To mitigate this issue, you can use file copy tools that do not use cache manager (buffered I/O). This can be done by using the built-in command-line tools listed below:

robocopy \\someserver\someshare c:\somefolder somefile.img /J

or

xcopy \\someserver\someshare c:\somefolder /J

We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

Confirmed, no longer works for me too.

@cereberus

"Why are you using Insider versions if you want stability?"

Because 624.1610 works as I'd hoped and it's fun trying. My comment said that but you missed it, it seems. So now the Quest rests a while.

Stability and competent RAM cache management are present in the 624.1610 version. Apart from cereberus, others may find these results useful. To date, I've found no impossible-to-live-with quirks in 624.1610 so it stays as fully useable.

IMHO. Beta Channel is stable enough for everyday work. At least for me.
