Beta Build 22622.586 (KB5016701) issues
This update has several issues. After installation, I could no longer access that Control Panel in the normal way. Had to resort to control.exe shortcut. Also, the Menu Bar in File Explorer is MIA as well. Reverted to 22622.575 and all works again.
Same here. And everything becomes normal.
- Same problem. explorer.exe crashing in a loop after login, the whole desktop flashing white every few seconds. Was a bit challenging to rollback KB5016701 but after that my system is starting normally again.
- I do have the xbox dev kit installed, but this repeating crashing on logon seems a little more serious than the known issues suggest at https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/08/24/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-22621-586-and-22622-586/
Same issue here. Once the Beta Build is installed File Explorer crashes. The Print dialog crashes when I attempt to Print to file (for example, Adobe PDF or Microsoft Print to PDF) as soon as the Save File appears. Using the right mouse click to perform operations such as New, Properties, etc crashes. Uninstalling the build successfully eliminates the problem.
davequail My problem with this release is that I am unable to access the properties on all desktop shortcut icons. When I right click all icons flash and the right click menu disappears. Also I use the file manager Xplorer2 Pro which will not run. I had to do a system restore to a point a few days earlier as there didn't seem to be a way to uninstall the update. I have stopped updates for a week but I don't know how to do anything beyond that.

Yes, they created a new problem with Control Panel and Windows tools with a faulty fix in File Explorer Tabs.
They fixed one bug and introduced a new one. The faulty fix is addressing a bug that was reported in previous build where File Explorer with Tabs would seem to open a window twice when using "Open File Location"
With this update the old bug appears to be fixed, but a few more bugs showed up with Control Panel and Windows Tools. 🤬🤬🤬
If I disable File Explorer Tabs, all these problems disappear.
Clearly MS never discusses how to enable or disable experimental features, but it is easy to do using some third-party tools.
As a temporary alternative, until MS gets a proper fix, you can uninstall the Beta enablement package and revert to 22621.586 which has the experimental features disabled by default.
All these problems disappear just by magic. 🤬
fggIB I'm running a full upgrade to Windows 11 so what does "uninstall the Beta enablement package" mean? On Google it looks like that takes me back to Windows 10.
- Also its not Windows Explorer that won't run. It's "xplorer2" by zabkat.com
