Other fixes are related to File Explorer, search functionality, and Windows Spotlight on the lock screen . Additionally, Microsoft has released an SDK for new Dev Channel builds, which you can download here .

New Microsoft Store Update

The upgraded Microsoft Store in Windows 11 is independent of the new 25131 build, but is an important change. Microsoft has announced the rollout of a new Microsoft Store update that provides native support for ARM64 PCs. This means users using Windows on ARM devices will experience improved performance and faster browsing of the Microsoft Store.

Additionally, Microsoft has improved the app update experience in the Microsoft Store. With the latest update, Microsoft Store apps will skip automatic updates for apps you’re currently using. Additionally, this update also adds support for a new pop-up store experience for Android apps on the Microsoft Store.

When users discover an app while browsing the web and it’s available in the Microsoft Store, they can easily download it with a new pop-up experience . Additionally, users will also have better viewing options for movies and TV shows.
