Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.4367, KB5044373, to the Beta Channel. This version includes various features and changes to improve users’ overall experience and a number of fixes.
The most recent beta update for Windows 11 improves the ability to share files to apps that support sharing in Windows. Users can now share files directly throughthe context menu in File Exploreror on their desktop.
If you can’t see it yet, you can enable it with a special command using the third-party ViveTool app, as spotted by Windows enthusiast,@phantomofearth.
To enable the new “Share with” option in File Explorer/desktop context menus, which lets you directly share to supported apps in Beta 22635.4367, run:vivetool /enable /id:45286384,52800817pic.twitter.com/AUHpmMwrBL

KB5044373 addresses several issues, including one that caused live captions to crash on launch for some Insiders in the last two builds. Another fix resolves an issue where if you had multiple windows open for an app on your taskbar, pressing WIN + multiple times didn’t cycle between the windows.
The update also resolves an issue for uncombined taskbar users where app icons unexpectedly show instead of the window’s icon next to the window name.
