Microsoft released a preview update for Windows 11 Build 26241 today for Insiders in the Canary channel. This update focuses on improvements and bug fixes designed to enhance the overall desktop experience.

Microsoft is also aiming to prevent unnecessary notification clutter with the new update

The update delivers a range of improvements and fixes to address various issues that Insiders might have encountered. While the specific details aren’t available, Microsoft aims to improve the overall stability and performance of Windows 11.

  • Drag-and-Drop to Address Bar: Users can now use the File Explorer address bar for a more streamlined workflow. Simply drag and drop files directly onto the path displayed in the address bar for quicker navigation.
  • Enhanced File Selection: A thin border now surrounds the selected area in File Explorer, providing a clearer visual indication of the chosen files or folders.
  • Crash Fix: An issue that caused File Explorer to crash when entering the Home directory in previous updates has been addressed.

Taskbar and Notifications

  • App Icon Flickering Resolved: A bug that caused app icons to flicker on the taskbar has been squashed, ensuring a smoother visual experience.
  • Smarter Notification Recommendations: Microsoft has refined the logic behind notification recommendations. Now, the system will only suggest turning off notifications for apps that haven’t been interacted with by the user for an extended period. This should help prevent unnecessary notification clutter.
