This article will discuss Windows 11 Build 25163, the most recent Windows 11 Insider Preview build for the Dev Channel.
Overflow
In Windows 11, Microsoft is bringing back taskbar overflow with a freshly designed user interface. When your taskbar reaches its limit, it will automatically enter this new overflow state. In this situation, you can use an overflow menu from the taskbar to view all of your spilled apps in one place.
An overflow menu that lets you view all of your overflowing programs in one place will be accessible from the taskbar.

Many of the present taskbar behaviors that users are accustomed to, such as supporting pinned apps, jump lists, and extended UI, will be available in the overflow menu. The menu will disappear when you invoke overflow, once you click somewhere else or switch to an application.
Enhanced local sharing
UDP (Network must be set to private) and Bluetooth have been added to improve the finding of nearby devices when sharing a local file from the desktop, File Explorer, Photos, Snipping Tool, Xbox, and other apps that use the built-in Windows share window. The number of devices you may discover and share has increased, including desktop PCs.
Through the built-in Windows share pane, you can now find and share more devices with nearby sharing.
You can choose OneDrive as a target to immediately upload the file to OneDrive and share it further, along with access control choices when sharing a local file from the desktop, File Explorer, Photos, Snipping Tool, Xbox, and other apps that use the built-in Windows share window. Without using any context switches or accessing the OneDrive program, everything can be done directly from sharing local files in File Explorer.
The built-in Windows share box allows you to select OneDrive as a target and immediately upload the content to OneDrive.
(Note that only Microsoft accounts are presently able to use this function. If logged in using AAD, the user must change to their Microsoft account by clicking the profile icon in the sharing window’s top right corner. An upcoming update will include support for AAD.

Fixes
resolved a tab-dragging crash in explorer.exe.
I worked on repairing a memory leak that occurred when using tabs in File Explorer.
Fixed a problem where the File Explorer taskbar preview thumbnail, ALT + Tab, and Task View can display the title of a neighboring tab rather than the one that is presently chosen.
The dividers in File Explorer’s navigation pane shouldn’t appear if “Show all folders” is activated. With this modification, the problems with dividers unexpectedly appearing in some other folder selectors should also be resolved.
Fixed a problem where the tab titles weren’t being read aloud by the narrator as the emphasis changed between them.
Fixed a problem where, after dragging File Explorer across your monitors, a closed tab would reappear.
Fixed a problem where the tab row could unintentionally grow vertically, hiding the contents of the command bar.
The section with This PC and Network should no longer be broken up by abruptly displaying removable drives in a separate portion of the navigation pane.
The “Add New Tab” button was not clearly visible when using the Aquatic or Desert contrast themes, which has now been fixed.
When using text scaling and many tabs open, the add new tab button and the minimize button in the title bar shouldn’t overlap any more.
[Taskbar]
Fixed an unusual explorer.exe problem due to taskbar window sharing that could occur during a Microsoft Teams call.
[Settings]
I made a change to assist in resolving a problem where using Windows Spotlight on the desktop can cause the backdrop to return to being solid color.
When using Apps > Installed Apps in grid mode, the padding surrounding the uninstall button has been improved.
Several problems that might have caused Quick Settings to crash upon launch have been fixed.
[Input]
Fixed a problem that caused some apps to freeze after performing a copy action if Suggested Actions were turned on.
[Other]
Fixed a high-impact crash that was affecting the accuracy of suggested actions.
