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.
- David_F_1962,
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- OK. How do I do that? Won't Windows Update just want to reinstall the newer one?
- Unfortunately, it doesn't let me paste a screen shot here.
If you go in Settings and search for Uninstall Updates, it will take it to a screen where you can click Uninstall just for that specific KB5015669
There is a screen shot posted in the insider forum in the link below:
