Insider KB5052084 Windows 11 Insider Beta build 22635.4945 (23H2) - Feb. 14


UPDATE 2/21:


 Windows Blogs:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.4945 (KB5052084) to the Beta Channel. Please note this build will only be provided to Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel who did not upgrade to receiving updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2.

Changes in Beta Channel builds and updates are documented in two buckets: new features, improvements, and fixes that are being gradually rolled out for Insiders who have turned on the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available (via Settings > Windows Update*) and then new features, improvements, and fixes rolling out to everyone in the Beta Channel. For more information, see the Reminders section at the bottom of this blog post.


Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out to the Beta Channel with toggle on*

[General]

  • This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes that improve the overall experience for Insiders running this build on their PCs.

[Spotlight on the desktop]

  • We’re beginning to roll out some additional changes to the Desktop Spotlight icon for Windows Insiders to help with discoverability including changes to the icon color/backplate and moving the icon to the bottom right position on your desktop.

Fixes gradually being rolled out to the Beta Channel with toggle on*

[File Explorer]

  • Did some more work to improve the performance of extracting zipped files in File Explorer, particularly when you’re unzipping a large number of small files.
  • Fixed a few issues impacting File Explorer reliability for Insiders.
  • Fixed an issue where opening File Explorer from the command line may result in the address bar being empty and not displaying the current path.
  • Fixed an issue where you couldn’t select multiple files in the Recommended section of Home by holding Shift and clicking the files
  • Fixed an issue causing the see more “…” menu in the command bar to open in the wrong direction for some resolutions.

[Input]

  • Fixed an issue which could cause explorer.exe to crash when opening the input flyout sometimes.
  • Fixed an issue where when using the touch keyboard on the login screen to sign in to your PC, you may unexpectedly see two touch keyboards launch.

[Lock screen]

  • Fixed an issue in recent flights where if you tried to reset your password from the login screen, it wouldn’t work due to an underlying crash.

Known issues

[File Explorer]

  • We’re investigating an issue causing File Explorer to be very slow to close for some Insiders when closing using the X button. This may also impact the other title bar buttons.

[Settings]

  • There is a known issue where the two new enterprise-specific device info and accessibility preferences cards are showing up on non-managed PCs signed in with Microsoft accounts.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel

  • Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel will receive updates based on Windows 11, version 23H2 via an enablement package (Build 22635.xxxx).
  • Many features in the Beta Channel are rolled out using Control Feature Rollout technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time as we monitor feedback to see how they land before pushing them out to everyone in this channel.
  • For Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel who want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you, you can turn ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update*. Over time, we will increase the rollouts of features to everyone with the toggle turned on. Should you keep this toggle off, new features will gradually be rolled out to your PC over time once they are ready.
  • Features and experiences included in these builds may never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features may change over time, be removed, or replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they’re ready.
  • Some features in active development we preview with Windows Insiders may not be fully localized and localization will happen over time as features are finalized. As you see issues with localization in your language, please report those issues to us via Feedback Hub.
  • Because the Dev and Beta Channels represent parallel development paths from our engineers, there may be cases where features and experiences show up in the Beta Channel first.
  • Check out Flight Hub for a complete look at what build is in which Insider channel.
Thanks,
Amanda & Brandon

in this build (22635.4945) , the same feature like in this build ?
    • New! This update makes Windows Spotlight easier to find. You’ll notice changes to the icon color and background. Also, the icon will show at the lower right area on your desktop.

Quality of life improvement for the new lock screen widgets hidden in 22635.4945 - a customize option in the 3 dots menu to quickly open Settings to the customization options for that widget (if supported).

Yes but if it offline I get empty lock screen like a day before the feature added.

The problem is that features disappear or have a bug after install new update in Windows 11. So if someone like a feature it can disappear after an update. So disappeared/have a bug features can stay in museum and we can't use them.

I used the ViVeTool tweak to fix the File Explorer ... menu being displayed upward with an earlier cumulative build and the fix carried through all the updates afterwards.

I have now used the tool to reverse (re-enable) the same setting I previously disabled and my File Explorer ... menu is still being displayed downward and not upward so it looks like this bug is fully fixed on my PC.

Microsoft is experimenting with a new home for Desktop Spotlight's bonus relevant topics/searches and Ask Copilot option, which used to be in the main flyout - a new right click context menu for the icon. (hidden, Beta 22635.4945.)

This is the first time a release shows up on my PC via Windows Update three days after its release... I usually update the same day. 🤷‍♂️
Anyhow, SFC and DISM scans didn't find any problems. :thumbsup:
