Key notes
We’ve already presented the first Windows 11 Beta Channel Insider Preview Build for 2023, so it’s time to move to the other side.
Indeed, Microsoft released the first Windows 11 Insider builds of 2023 today on bothDevas well asBeta channels, and we get to check them out right here.
You should know that, besides all the many bug fixes it brings, the former also has a hidden feature in it, a new option in the File Explorer navigation pane called Gallery and it also has a new icon.
Also, be sure to check out the latest version of Windows 11 (22H2) if you haven’t already. Also, check out the list of knownbugs and issues.
What to expect from Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25272
For the time being, it is not clear why the tech giant added the new icon and option since it is basically doing the same thing that Pictures does.
However, many now think that Pictures will get replaced by Gallery in the near future, along with other older components of the OS.
New in 25272: Microsoft is experimenting with adding a ‘Gallery’ entry alongside Home and OneDrive in the File Explorer navigation pane. Shows the contents of the Pictures folder as of nowvivetool /enable /id:41040327pic.twitter.com/VAvvF9VZ4G
Windows 11 Dev Build 25272 includes fixes for Task Manager filter search, broken UI elements in apps, and more.
Furthermore, there are also some changes and improvements in the new build, as well as some open issues you can look for in this software patch.
One of the more notable changes is that Microsoft is removing the suggestion action for searching copied text in Microsoft Edge and showing recommended common websites on the Recommended section in Start.
Microsoft also moved Quick Assist out of Windows Tools so it displays directly in the Start menu’s All apps list and is easier to find.
We also have to mention that, starting with Build 25267, the inbox version of Windows Subsystem for Linux has been removed.
Now, when you install a build with this change if you’re a WSL user you will need to update to the latest WSL version outlined here in this GitHub post to ensure WSL continues working on your PC.
And, for those of you who constantly use printers with your Windows PCs, know that the company added a refresh button to the Windows print queue.
Now, let’s see what fixes this Insider Dev Build comes with and what else we should be aware of before or after installing it.
