Strange. A lot of people are getting SFC and DISM errors. Could it be specific to their systems? I hadn't run either in months, and both ran without errors when I ran them after this update.

SFC/DSIM didn't find anything amiss here.

So, big problem with this build. My File Explorer text size in the main window on both PC's with this build is tiny now. The tabs and three dot menu etc. are normal but the icons and folder list have tiny text. The text scaling for the rest of the computers is correct. Anyone else?

Could you have a screenshot?

I don't have the issue you're describing.

Here's an example, everything is scaled normally except for inside explorer and my right click menus which are also tiny.

FrancoDT · Monday at 7:04 PM

Ok, Text issue is now solved. I had to go into accessibility text size and briefly oversize the text then go back to my 150% scaling on both machines and it returned to normal now. Whew!

New! Notification Center.

I got the notification clock on the intel machine but it won't show on the ARM64 machine even after setting the vivetool code.

Maybe ARM64 requires an additional feature ID, or Microsoft doesn't support this feature on ARM64 yet.

Interesting.
1st restart after install of 4188 went to a black screen with no movement towards starting up.
Had to restart to finally get back into Winn11???

Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.4188 includes the Gradual rollout of features, These features may be toggled off by default:
# [Phone Link] New! You can do even more with your Windows PC and your mobile device with direct access to cross-device features from the Start menu. For example, you can make phone calls, send SMS messages, access your photos, or share content between your mobile device and PC.
# [Start Menu] New! Additional options in the right-click menu of the Start menu. Microsoft has added new options to rearrange pinned icons in the Start menu. The Start Pane context menu has new commands to move items to the left, right, or top.
# [Start Menu] New! Additional options in the right-click menu of the Start menu. Microsoft has added new options to rearrange pinned icons in the Start menu. The Start Pane context menu has new commands create a new app folder.
# [Start Menu] New! The New Start Menu Layout is avaiable on KB5055627 (26100.3902). The New Start Menu is getting a new layout and the ability to *turn off the recommended section.
# [File Explorer] Fixed: The “see more” (…) menu in the File Explorer command bar opens in the wrong direction in some cases.
# [File Explorer] New! Recommended files in File Explorer Home are now available to all Windows Insiders who are signed in with their personal Microsoft account (and local accounts). These files will provide you quick access to relevant files based on your activity in the Recommended section which is displayed as a carousel with thumbnail previews. This includes content such as files you frequently use, have recently downloaded, or added to your File Explorer Gallery. Users with a work/school account (Entra ID) will have additional types of recommendations available with this update. This change is not yet rolling out in the EEA (European Economic Area). Quick access folders will continue to be available in the navigation pane for easy access to pinned folders.
# [File Explorer] New! Opening new folders in a new tab instead of creating additional windows.
# [Task Manager] New! We are beginning to roll out a change to the way Task Manager calculates CPU utilization for the Processes, Performance, and Users pages. Task Manager will now use the standard metrics to display CPU workload consistently across all pages and aligning with industry standards and third-party tools. For backward compatibility, a new optional column called CPU Utility is available (hidden by default) on the Details tab showing the previous CPU value used on the Processes page.
# [Taskbar] New! Show jump list when hovering on inactive taskbar apps.
# New! During text entry, type Windows logo key + . (period). The emoji keyboard will appear. Select an emoji with the mouse, or keep typing to search through the available emojis for one you like.
# [Taskbar] New! Show smaller taskbar icons" option in the Settings app.
# [Settings] New! We are rolling out “top cards” under Settings > System > About. These top cards provide an easy way to view your PC’s key specifications—processor, RAM, storage, and GPU—helping you understand your PC’s capabilities at a glance. This is designed to simplify decision-making by highlighting potential areas for hardware improvements while giving you a clear snapshot of your PC. Top Cards won’t appear yet on managed commercial PCs. Note this change appears only on specific PC form-factors such as desktops.
# [Notification] New! Microsoft is introducing a New Notification Center, which adds the clock back. You will also need to enable an additional option from Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time which is Show time in Notification Center.
# [Windows Share] New! In the Windows share window, as part of the ability to quickly edit and enhance images while sharing, we have adjusted the UI so that now you can now select their compression scale from High, Medium, or Low Quality, instead of choosing from an entire scale ranging from 0-100.
# [Advanced Settings] Introducing Advanced Settings! Advanced settings are now available via Settings > System > Advanced with some new features. The Advanced page is a redesign of the For Developers page, intending to make its settings easier to find for a broader audience. With the redesign of this page, we’ve added additional settings: Enable long paths, Virtual workspaces, and File Explorer + version control.
# [Snipping Tool] Microsoft is adding text extractor in the Snipping Tool capture bar – designed to minimize the number of steps it takes to copy text to your clipboard without having to take a screenshot of your screen.
# [Graphics] New! Manage your PC’s HDR features under Settings > System > Display > Updates include: A clearer label for “Use HDR” that better explains which media types are supported. The ability to stream HDR video even when HDR is turned off. On PCs with Dolby Vision, a new toggle lets you turn Dolby Vision on or off independently of HDR—giving you more control over your viewing experience.

Manually toggle on features through the guide If you like to experience these features early.

Still have the odd issue in File Explorer where the right click menu is not always the new version of this menu.

Select the same file, and right click again, the new version will appear (ignore the tags on the screrenshot)

I found the problem, I used the reg file posted a few builds back that enables the New Start Menu, which seems to also unlock a few other features. If I disable this then the right click menu behaves as it should and always shows the new right click menu. A real pity as I prefer the revised Start Menu

noooooo! The new battery icon is gone when I updated to this build

Is there someone who has new vivetool codes to bring back to new battery icon?

Most of us lost the new battery icons a couple builds back. Surprised you still had them going into this build. You probably already discovered the existing Vivetool codes for it don't restore them either so we're stuck waiting for the time being. I did just get them back on the brand new beta build Monday so I expect they'll be back eventually.

Interesting, I'll have to take a look at my two machines that have the 25H2 Start menus enabled as I hadn't noticed the menu difference. I did notice the 25H2 menu is larger on this build vs the 25H2 menu in my beta build which requires more scrolling in that one.

Same to me.

So I just checked both my machines with the 25H2 start menu and my right click menus appear consistent and in the new style
