Beta Build 22622.586 (KB5016701) issues
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.

This is the enablement I'm referring to:
Feature enablement for Beta Channel Preview Update (KB5015669)
Uninstalling that takes it back from 22622.586 to 22621.586- David_F_1962Aug 28, 2022Copper ContributorOK. How do I do that? Won't Windows Update just want to reinstall the newer one?
