Microsoft est à l’origine d’une nouvelle Preview de Windows 11. La build 25174 est désormais disponible pour les appareils inscrits sur le canal DEV du programme Windows Insider.

Elle propose une Preview d’un nouveau widget, le Game Pass ainsi que plusieurs correctifs. Redmond ajoute que de nouveaux problèmes connus sont de la partie.

Windows 11 build 25174, quoi de neuf ?

Le fait le plus marquant est probablement l’arrivée d’un nouveau Widget, le Game Pass. A son sujet Microsoft explique

“Avec Game Pass, vous avez accès à des centaines de jeux de haute qualité pour votre PC. Au cours des deux derniers mois, nous avons travaillé avec nos amis de l’équipe Xbox pour faire de Windows et Game Pass une combinaison encore meilleure.”

Il s’agit d’un support proposant un aperçu du contenu de la bibliothèque PC Game Pass. Nous avons les derniers ajouts et des titres des catégories en surbrillance. L’utilisateur est redirigé vers l’application Xbox afin d’installer le jeu et lire les critiques. La firme ajoute qu’un travail est en cours afin de pouvoir se connecter à son profil Xbox. Cela permettra par exemple de revenir aux jeux récemment joués et de profiter de recommandations personnalisées. Game Pass sera disponible dans le module widgets aux côtés d’autres widgets comme la météo.

En parallèle l’explorateur de fichiers bénéficie d’une amélioration. Le clic central sur un dossier dans le volet de navigation l’ouvrira désormais dans un nouvel onglet. A noter que cette avancée demande la présence du nouvel explorateur de fichiers, celui prenant en charge les onglets. Son déploiement est en cours. Il n’est donc pas encore disponible pour l’ensemble de la communauté du canal de développement.

Du coté des correctifs nous avons

Six problèmes résolus au niveau de l’explorateur de fichiers,
Deux problèmes corrigés au niveau de la barre des tâches et de Paramètres,
Et la fin de quatre bugs de manière plus générale.

Afin plusieurs problèmes connus sont listés. Ils concernent l’OS dans sa globalité, l’explorateur de fichiers, le modules Widgets et l’impression. Vous trouverez tous les détails en fin d’article.

Windows 11 build 25174, note de version

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 rolled out to everyone in the Dev Channel yet.

Fixes

[File Explorer]

Fixed an issue which 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 was sometimes unexpectedly putting the folder at the bottom of the list rather than where you’d dropped it.
Fixed an issue causing UI issues in File Explorer when using F11 to put 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 which 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 drivers list would be blank.
Fixed an issue which was causing some apps to unexpectedly not launch in the last few flights when core isolation was enabled in Windows Security.

NOTE: Some fixes noted here in Insider Preview builds from the Dev Channel may make their way into the servicing updates for the released version of Windows 11.
