The latest builds of Windows 11 have corrected bugs while stabilizing and optimizing the famous File Explorer, the cornerstone of Windows 11.

Not exactly a novelty, Windows 11's File Explorer is as much at the heart of Microsoft's operating system as it is the source of much debate about its lack of stability and sometimes erratic performance. In the past, Microsoft has already announced numerous developments to improve the tool, but the results don't always seem to live up to the hopes placed in these announcements, and for many users, File Explorer remains the crux of the problem, the Achilles heel of an operating system that is otherwise rather comfortable to use.

Windows Latest

As Clubic.com explains, it would appear that Microsoft has this time decided to take the bull by the horns, and through the latest beta versions of Windows 11 released on the private channels - Dev and Beta - the publisher has revised a number of points of contention. Our Clubic.com colleagues report that Microsoft has concentrated its efforts on correcting bugs that weigh down users' daily lives, including " missing dialog boxes, missing icons, flashing when Windows opens...".

Microsoft is said to be working on all these little day-to-day problems, as well as correcting a problem with the Narrator, whose stability has been improved, while operations on ZIP archives have been reviewed. On the latter point, the aim was more to improve performance, whereas working on large archives made up of numerous small files was more of a challenge. Many other "small" fixes are detailed in the Dev and Beta builds, but please bear in mind that they are not yet deployed on the public version of Windows 11. Please be patient.
