    What's new in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25163

    New Taskbar Overflow


    The update brings a new Taskbar Overflow style. You may run out of space on the Taskbar, as you pin more shortcuts to it, or keep opening apps. Normally, when this happens, Windows replaces the last icon on the tray, with the current app's icon. The new style addresses this issue by moving additional icons to a sub-menu, that can be accessed by clicking a three-dot button. It seems to be similar to the "show hidden icons" that expands the system tray via a pop-up panel. Microsoft says that the Taskbar Overflow supports pinned apps, jump list, and extended UI.

    Note: I tried filling up the Taskbar with as many icons as possible, but I couldn't get the new overflow to appear, so it is likely being A/B tested.

    Nearby sharing and OneDrive local file sharing


    The Windows share menu now supports discovery of nearby devices via Bluetooth and Private Networks. It works when sharing files via the Windows Share panel in File Explorer, Photos, Desktop, Snipping Tool, Xbox, etc. The share menu also allows you to upload files directly to your OneDrive (Microsoft accounts only)

    Microsoft Store Update


    The Microsoft Store has been updated to version 22206.1401.2.0, it overhauls the app listings with update price designs. In addition to this, game listings have been improved, so users can discover different editions more easily.

    For example, if you search for Forza Horizon 5, you will see a drop-down menu on its page, clicking on which displays the three editions it is available in: Standard, Deluxe and Premium. It also shows you the prices of the editions, and available discounts.

    Fixes in Build 25163


    File Explorer should no longer crash while dragging tabs. A memory leak issue related to Tabs has been patched. Closed tabs will not appear again while dragging Explorer across monitors. Narrator will read the titles of tabs properly when you switch between them.

    Sharing windows from the Taskbar during a Microsoft Teams was leading Explorer.exe to a crash, Microsoft says this issue was rare and that it has patched it. A couple of bugs that were causing Quick Settings to crash on launch have been mitigated. An issue that made Windows Spotlight revert to a solid color background has been resolved. I ran into this problem a few builds ago, usually after upgrading to a new version. The Suggested Actions feature was causing some apps to freeze after the copy action was triggered, this issue has been fixed.

    Known issues in Build 25163


    Microsoft is investigating a bug that is preventing SQL Server Management Studio from launching. The other known issues in this build are similar to those in the previous version (Live Captions, Easy anti cheat, File Explorer and Widgets). Please refer to the official announcement for more details.

    The new taskbar overflow may look cool, but if you have aligned the taskbar to the left side of the screen, the new style may not seem like a big deal. It could be useful for devices with a small screen, tablets and laptops.

    Users have been asking for a way to move the Taskbar to the sides or the top of the screen, it remains to be seen if we will see these changes.

    Windows 11 disable taskbar overflow

    Hi theking2

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    The Taskbar in Windows 11is very limited compared to the Taskbar in Windows 10, there is limited functionality.

    Right click the Taskbar and choose Taskbar Settings, there, you will find any available settings for the Taskbar Overflow.

    The good news is, Microsoft have listened to the Insiders that tested Windows 11 and they are now testing new functionality on the Taskbar and so we should receive that in an upcoming update to Windows 11.

    In the meantime, please open the feedback hub (Windows Key + F) and provide your feedback on the lack of functionality on the taskbar in Windows 11 to the developers there.

    • Drag and drop is now supported on the Windows 11 taskbar. Quickly drag and drop files between app windows, by hovering over apps in the taskbar to bring their windows to the foreground.

Once in the foreground, drop your file into the e-mail to attach it.

You can also drag and drop to the desktop via “Show desktop” at the very right corner of the taskbar.
