Windows 11 Build 22635.3936 (Beta) adds a new Open with dialog design

Microsoft has released Windows 11 Build 22635.3936 to Insiders in the Beta channel. It comes with a new design of the Open with dialog, but disables the simplified system tray for the taskbar. There are also some improvements and fixes.

ℹ️ 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.

Changes for insiders with the option enabled

• Microsoft is testing a redesigned Open With dialog box that, among other changes, removes group headings.
• Microsoft has temporarily disabled the simplified system tray, which displays the date and time in abbreviated form, to address several issues. The change was introduced in build 22635.3930. The company will continue to test the change in future builds. If you have access to this change, it will likely disappear after updating to the latest build.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where hardware keyboard text hints were not working correctly in the previous build (the selected option was merged with the original).
• Fixed several crashes in ctfmon.exe that could affect the ability to enter text.
• Fixed an issue where some keyboards and mice would not work in Safe Mode.
