The overflow menu will still have the usual taskbar behaviors, such as supporting pinned apps, jump list, and extended UI. What’s more, it can easily be dismissed if users click outside of it or start using another app. It’s a welcome update, but since it’s a feature in the Insider Preview Build, it isn’t certain if it will be released to general users. Still, with the big Sun Valley 2 update expected to arrive this fall, there’s reason to believe it will arrive then. That’s not the only update, as Windows 11 also made improvements to nearby sharing. The built-in Windows share window uses user datagram protocol (UDP) and Bluetooth to discover nearby devices, allowing users to discover and share to more devices including desktop PCs. Users can also choose OneDrive as a target to directly upload a file to OneDrive and share it further along with access control options — all using the built-in Windows share window. It can also be done by sharing local files in File Explorer without any context switches or opening the OneDrive app. There are also a bunch of fixes in the Preview Build, from an explorer.exe crash when dragging tabs around to closed tabs appearing again in File Explorer. Many updates seen in the Preview Build may be tweaked before making it to the general public, and we’re sure to see a few more when Sun Valley 2 arrives. Apparently, it may not be too much longer before we see Windows 12, which may arrive in 2024 thanks to Microsoft’s renewed update schedule.
