Windows 11's latest builds (26100.8313 and 26200.8313) have improved folder view consistency in File Explorer, ensuring that user-configured settings persist regardless of how a folder is accessed. This update eliminates the need for registry tweaks. Additionally, the updates enhance File Explorer's speed and performance, resolve a white flash issue in dark mode, introduce a "preview anyway" button for the preview pane, and add support for four new archive formats. These changes are currently available in the Release Preview channel and will soon be rolled out to regular users.
