Windows 11 Build 22635.3566 (Beta) brings back the Show desktop button in the taskbar

Windows 11 Build 22635.3566 is now available to Insiders in the Beta channel. It restores the Show desktop button in the taskbar, and allows you to drag and drop files to File Explorer's address bar. Besides, there are new icons for Widgets, and plenty of fixes.

Microsoft rolls out some features only for users with Get the latest updates as soon as they're available option enabled. The rest will get them much later. However, keep in mind that even if you enable the option, the new features will anyway be shipped gradually to your PC.

  • Unpinning Widgets from the taskbar may not work if the taskbar is centered instead of left aligned.
  • The widget panel does not display correctly when Copilot is used as a sidebar.
