Microsoft has announced a slew of fixes to File Explorer in the latest Windows 11 preview, including a glitch that caused the app to crash at times. Microsoft claims it has fixed File Explorer crashes and freezes. “Using context menu options for Rename, Copy, Paste, Delete, and other options on File Explorer or on the desktop should no longer cause explorer.exe to crash when the context menu is dismissed,” Microsoft said.
Meanwhile, the new version has several other crash fixes, including one related to loading recently used Office files in Home. The update is now in effect for all users.
Microsoft also says it managed to fix an issue where the context menu process that popped up when right-clicking “This PC” in File Explorer would be broken. Last but not least, Microsoft explained that a bug where the sign-in button in File Explorer might not work has also been fixed, and the problem occurred when loading recently used Office files related operations that would cause explorer. exe crash problem.
To help improve performance, only images and videos now display thumbnails when opening the home page. Updated the prompt for the “Please sign in” button in File Explorer from “Sign in again to fix authentication issues” to “One of your accounts needs attention to show files from Office.com in the home page” to make it more purposeful clear.
Windows 11 build 22610 is now available to Insiders in the development and test channels.
