Microsoft has fixed lots of File Explorer issues within the most recent Windows 11 preview build, with the file manager therefore increasingly stable and reliable for insiders.

Necessary for know is that the list of fixes includes patches for multiple crashes, including when attemping to access certain folders.

Furthermore, Microsoft says it has also resolved crashes occurring throughout the launch of File Explorer.

"Fixed a fundamental explorer.exe crash that could happen when File Explorer launch was aborted, for instance if you were attempting to access a network share from the Run dialog, were prompted for credentials, after which clicked cancel rather than entering them. Fixed an issue that could result in explorer.exe crashing when File Explorer was closed," Microsoft says.

File Explorer is evolving substantially in Windows 11, with the software giant adding tabs - one of the most requested features in the latest years. However, the introduction of tabs within the Windows Insider program has obviously come with a number of problems, and Microsoft has become focusing on resolving all of them with the help of Windows 11 preview builds.

Here are several tab-related problems that happen to be resolved in this new build:

Fixed a current issue where if File Explorer was open when you switched between light and dark mode, you could end up with some unreadable text / UI showing the incorrect color.
Fixed a problem which could result in not being able to unpin Desktop, Pictures, or Documents folders from Quick access.
If the tab title is too long to display completely in the available space, hovering your mouse regarding this will now show a tooltip with the full name.
Removed the toolbar many people were unexpectedly seeing (with View / Edit / etc) after the introduction of tabs in File Explorer. Included in this, the "always show menus" option in Folder Options was also removed which didn't do anything.

Keep in mind that each one of these fixes are currently available just for insiders, and there's no ETA regarding once they might be shipped to production devices.
