The Windows Insider team has just dropped another exciting update for Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23435 on the Dev Channel, and we’re here to give you the rundown on what’s new and improved.
One of the major highlights of this update is the introduction of Gallery, a new feature in File Explorer that’s designed to give users easy access to their photo collection. With Gallery, they can view the same set of content that you see in the All Photos view in the Photos app, and it’s optimized for the most recently taken photos. If users have OneDrive Camera Roll Backup set up on their phones, their photos will automatically appear at the top of the view. They can also choose which folders are shown in Gallery through the Collection dropdown, as well as add subfolders of existing sources to filter to a subset of their content.
Gallery isn’t just limited to File Explorer either. Users can use it from the file-picking dialog, which means they can easily access their photos when they are inserting attachments, building a PowerPoint deck, or crafting social media posts. This makes the process of finding and using photos a lot smoother and more streamlined.
Apart from the introduction of Gallery, there are several other changes and improvements in this update. For instance, there are new steps for users logging in with local user accounts on the Start menu, which are aimed at highlighting the benefits of signing in with a Microsoft account (MSA). There are also new presence sensor privacy settings and APIs, which allow you to manage your privacy and block/allow certain apps from accessing these sensors.
Of course, no update is complete without some fixes, and this one is no exception. There are fixes for various issues, such as crashes in explorer.exe, issues with Settings crashing when navigating to various Windows Update-related pages, and improvements to the performance of the expand all / collapse all View options on the Processes page, among others.
As with any update, there are also some known issues that Microsoft is working on fixing. These include issues with the search box on the taskbar and issues with Gallery in File Explorer, such as live updates being disabled and some file types not being rendered correctly. All in all, the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23435 brings a lot of exciting new features and improvements that will definitely make using your PC even more convenient and user-friendly.
