Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.5170 to Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel on Windows 11 23H2. The update comes with various enhancements and fixes aimed at refining the overall experience for Insiders. This feature enables File Explorer folders to open in a new tab when initiated from outside of File Explorer, and it eliminates labels on actions that are unlabeled in the File Explorer context menu. The update addresses issues related to the Start menu account manager, resolves crashes in File Explorer, and rectifies the problem of certain applications ceasing to function after disconnecting from a remote desktop session.

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.5170 (Beta Channel)

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.5170 (KB5055623) to the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders on Windows 11, version 23H2.

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.

[File Explorer] 

• We’re starting to roll out the change again so that when you launch File Explorer folders from outside of File Explorer (for example, from an app or from the desktop), by default they will now open in a new tab if you have an existing File Explorer window open (which we  temporarily disabled to address some issues). As a reminder – if you’d prefer that they continue opening in a new window, you can change this in File Explorer folder options, under General > Browse Folders.
• The change that introduced labels on unlabeled actions such as cut, copy, paste, rename, share, and delete in the File Explorer context menu that began rolling out in  Build 22635.4660 has been disabled. Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel can upgrade to Windows 11, version 24H2 flights to get this change back.
