Microsoftは2月21日(現地時間)、Windows 11のWindows Insider ProgramのBetaチャンネル向けの最新ビルド「Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.4950(KB5052078)」をリリースしました(Windows Blog)。
Betaチャンネルの全てのWindows Insidersは有効化パッケージを通じて同じビルド(Build 22635.xxxx)に更新されます。従来のようにビルド番号を分割せず、Controlled Feature Rollout(CFR)テクノロジーにより新機能が有効化されます。
新機能をいち早く使用したい場合、Windows Updateの設定画面で「利用可能になったらすぐに最新の更新プログラムを入手する」をオンに変更します。
Build 22635.4950の新機能
Build 22635.4950では、ファイル共有をより簡単に素早く行うためのドラッグトレイ機能が追加されています。ファイルエクスプローラーやデスクトップから、ローカルファイルをドラッグすると、画面上部にトレイが表示され、Windowsの共有ウィンドウを開くことができます。
また、スタートメニューの「すべて」ページに、グリッドビューとカテゴリービューの2つの新しいビューが導入されています。グリッドビューとリストビューではアプリはアルファベット順に表示され、カテゴリビューでは使用順にカテゴリにグループ化されます。
リリースノートは以下の通りです。
New features gradually being rolled out to the Beta Channel with toggle on*
Making sharing files in Windows easier
Sharing files in Windows is getting a lot easier and quicker with our new drag tray feature. When you start dragging a local file with mouse (or touch) from File Explorer or your desktop, a handy tray appears at the very top of your screen allowing you to drop the file into one of the displayed apps or choose “More…” to open the Windows share window.
FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Files, Folders, and Online Storage > File sharing.
Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out to the Beta Channel with toggle on*
[Start menu]
- We’re introducing two new views to the “All” page in the Start menu: grid and category view. Grid and list view shows your apps in alphabetical order and category view groups all your apps into categories, ordered by usage. This change is gradually rolling out so you may not see it right away. We plan to begin rolling this out to Windows Insiders who are receiving updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2 in the Dev and Beta Channels soon.
Fixes gradually being rolled out to the Beta Channel with toggle on*
[File Explorer]
- As part of our ongoing commitment to improving File Explorer accessibility, this update includes increased support for the text scaling (via Settings > Accessibility > Text size) across File Open/Save dialogs and Wizard dialogs.
- Fixed an issue where File Explorer Home might not load correctly and just show random floating text saying “Name”.
[Taskbar]
- Fixed an issue with the taskbar app window previews, where the corners of the flyout weren’t drawn with the correct radius in certain cases.
[Settings]
- Fixed an issue for Japanese users, where the name displayed at the top of Settings > Accounts showed First Name Last Name instead of the expected Last Name First Name format.
Known issues
[Start menu]
The following are known issues for Windows Insiders with the new grid and category views on the All” page in the Start menu:
- [NEW] There’s sometimes a delay in app icons showing in grid and category views after installing an app.
- [NEW] When right-clicking on an app, the “Start settings” context menu flashes before the app’s context menu appears.
- [NEW] Windows Tools related apps are broken out into folders instead of being in one single app.
[File Explorer]
- We’re working on the fix for 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.
