This is a great update, finally bringing back lost features in Windows 11.

I really miss that folder contents icon, which is a huge impact for me working with projects that became a sea of yellow folders. Though I wish they will show 3 thumbnails instead of 1. Vista until 10 shows max of 3 thumbnails inside the folder.

The folder in Start menu is finally back. But it is certainly needs more work. Looks incomplete and no folder naming. Still they miss the grouping and no notification badgers on Start menu, hopefully they didn't forget those.

This is the biggest update for Win 11. Love it.

Best update so far, I guess this is how windows 11 should've started.

We also need a gesture for back button on touch, it's so annoying to have to reach to the top left corner to go back.

7:50 this is the only feature i wanted back in Windows 11, just that will make the whole update worth it

9:50 "surely nothing can happen to my touchpad driver"
The amount of bluescreens I've had thanks to synaptic touchpad drivers...

This update looks so tempting. Wonderful job by Microsoft. 👏🏻

[DJSeanE]

I'm glad to see the start menu is getting some changes. I've been waiting on that. 👏🏻

[BennyR]

Best dev build so far. Thanks for the video

[MrShakir]

Thanks a lot bro. The changes are really meaningful and needed for all of us. Specially the task bar drag and drop feature.

[baphnie]

Slowly rolling out features we’ve already had for decades. Love it.

You forgot to demo teams share window indicator on taskbar, fullscreen app with gripper, dragging and pining app to taskbar, snap group update in taskview, accessibility flyout on the login screen with new fluent design, your phone recent used apps.

Finally gestures which follows your finger I was complaining about that lack of UI Interaction for years also the App Folders I guess it will be a really a nice year for windows ~ if these changes ship.

This is how the Win11 should look and feel back at launch!

[eramajaarvi]

wow, I'm loving where Windows 11 is going

[vidtskue]

Hell yes. i missed the Folder Preview Thumbnails. i Loved that feature in Windows XP. and now its back.

[justsomerandomgamer]

Finally this is such a good update
Though I wish these came with windows 11 at launch but better late than never i guess

[Shadow]

Cool, the Taskbar Drag & Drop and the folder previews were the 2 things I missed the most, when I first tried W11. Been back on W10 for a few months now. When this update goes to Stable vesion, I might finally switch to W11 for good

[jordanharkness]

I seriously need them to ungroup icons on the task bar. They seriously need to bring back "Never combine taskbar buttons".

In the internal builds the title bars were actually using acrylic, not mica.
