Windows 11 Insider Preview build 25174 changelog update:

New Feature:

• The new Game Pass Widget:
  • Microsoft announced something new for gaming and our widgets experience. This widget is a window to the extensive PC Game Pass library  – it will show the latest additions, games leaving soon, and others from highlighted categories and then take you to the Xbox app where you can install them, see reviews, and go all in. The widgets board is shown by clicking the left corner of your taskbar or by pressing Win + W. To pin the Game Pass widget, select the ‘+’ button in the top right corner of the widgets board.

Changes and Improvements

• [File Explorer]
  • Middle-clicking a folder in the navigation pane of File Explorer will now open it in a new tab, like clicking a folder in the body of File Explorer already does. Please note that this requires tabbed File Explorer, which hasn’t been rolled out to everyone in the Dev Channel yet.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause explorer.exe to crash when opening new File Explorer windows
  • Fixed an issue where launching File Explorer in certain ways when using dark mode (for example, from the command line) was showing the body of File Explorer unexpectedly in light mode.
  • Fixed an issue where the left/right arrows in File Explorer were in light mode when you were using dark mode, causing them to not have enough contrast to show when they were enabled.
  • Fixed an issue where the dividers in the navigation pane were overlapping/drawing too close to text sometimes.
  • Fixed an issue where if you drag and drop a folder into the navigation pane were sometimes unexpectedly putting the folder at the bottom of the list rather than where you’d dropped it.

  • File Explorer in full-screen mode.
• [Taskbar]
  • Fixed an issue leading to various system tray elements being unexpectedly missing for some Insiders on the previous build.
• [Settings]
  • Fixed a crash on some PCs were experiencing when going to System > Storage > Disks & Volumes.
• [Other]
  • Fixed an issue that was leading to mouse and keyboard input not working correctly in certain games in the last 2 flights.
  • Fixed an issue believed to be leading to SQL Server Management Studio failing to launch for some Insiders. Fixed an issue where Memory Integrity in Windows Security might show a warning saying it couldn’t be enabled due to incompatible drivers, but the incompatible driver’s list would be blank.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing some apps to unexpectedly not launch in the last few flights when core isolation was enabled in Windows Security.
