What Features Are Present in Build 22623,730

The first one is Tablet-optimized taskbarwhere as we know, this feature was introduced by Microsoft in the Windows 11 Insider Build 22653 but it was removed again in Build 22610 on the grounds that Microsoft wanted to improve the feature. With this feature, the Taskbar view will be separated into two different options when entering tablet mode.

While the second, there System Tray Updates, where the user will not be able to change or rearrange the appearance of the System Tray by drag and drop as usual, but the user asks for user feedback about this.

“This update introduces updates to the System Tray that affect all device types — not just 2-in-1 devices. With this change, users will see a rounded focus and hover treatment on all icons in the lower right due to the continued modernization of this experience. You may also notice that it is not possible to drag and drop or rearrange your system tray icons with this change. We heard your feedback on this change earlier this year and are working to address this in a future Insider Preview build.”

What Improvements Come in Build 22623,730

There are many, one of which is the improvement in File Explorer, where the Home page will now search for more recently opened Microsoft 365 cloud files for users who have signed to their Microsoft account.

Besides that, File Explorer Search will also display search results after you type something there, without having to click enter first.
