In the latest development for Windows 11, a new preview build has emerged in the Dev channel, introducing several noteworthy enhancements aimed at improving user experience and system reliability.
Proactive Memory Diagnostics
Among the standout features is the Proactive Memory Diagnostics, designed to address issues that may lead to system crashes. Users may soon receive notifications prompting them to conduct a quick memory scan following a restart, a proactive measure intended to mitigate the infamous “Black Screen of Death” that can disrupt productivity.
This feature marks a significant step forward, as it expands support for AMD CPUs, which previously had been limited to Intel-powered devices. This inclusivity reflects Microsoft’s commitment to enhancing the performance and stability of Windows across a broader range of hardware.
Security Enhancements in File Explorer
In addition to these improvements, Microsoft has also addressed a security vulnerability within File Explorer. However, this change has not been universally welcomed, as it involves disabling the preview pane for files downloaded from the internet in the finalized versions of Windows 11 (24H2 and 25H2). While this move aims to bolster security, it has sparked mixed reactions among users who valued the convenience of the preview feature.
As Microsoft continues to refine Windows 11, these updates underscore its ongoing efforts to enhance both the functionality and security of its operating system, ensuring a more reliable computing environment for all users.
