Dev 23620

Microsoft released Dev 23620 to the Windows Insider Channel, and while the build doesn’t bring any new features to the channel, it comes with fixes to all sorts of frustrating Windows 11 bugs. File Explorer is improved to be more stable, while the Start Menu will now display information with a proper design.

Windows 11 widgets also have some UI improvements, and if you’ve been experiencing lag issues in Task Manager, you should know that Microsoft took care of it with this build.

Some of the most frustrating issues for Windows 11’s Accessibility feature were fixed: voice access will no longer crash when setting up new languages, while the narrator should now work just fine when adding new natural voices.

You should check all the fixes coming with this build below.
