Microsoft said in their blog:
Sharing files in Windows is getting a lot easier and quicker with our new drag tray feature. When you start dragging a local file with mouse (or touch) from File Explorer or your desktop, a handy tray appears at the very top of your screen allowing you to drop the file into one of the displayed apps or choose “More…” to open the Windows share window.
New Start Menu All Apps Layout
Microsoft launches two new views for the “All Apps” page in the Start menu: grid and category view. The grid and list view display apps alphabetically, while the category view organizes apps into groups based on usage. This feature gradually rolls out, so users might not see it immediately. Windows Insiders receiving updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2, in the Dev and Beta Channels, will soon experience these new views. This update enhances app organization and accessibility in the Start menu, making it easier for users to find and manage their applications.
Known issues
[Start menu]
The following are known issues for Windows Insiders with the new grid and category views on the All” page in the Start menu:
- [NEW] There’s sometimes a delay in app icons showing in grid and category views after installing an app.
- [NEW] When right-clicking on an app, the “Start settings” context menu flashes before the app’s context menu appears.
- [NEW] Windows Tools related apps are broken out into folders instead of being in one single app.
[File Explorer]
- We’re working on the fix for an issue causing File Explorer to be very slow to close for some Insiders when closing using the X button. This may also impact the other title bar buttons.
[Settings]
- There is a known issue where the two new enterprise-specific device info and accessibility preferences cards are showing up on non-managed PCs signed in with Microsoft accounts.
