Explorer crashes on Windows 11 latest Dev build 22563, unofficial workaround

The latest Windows 11 build 22563 has been released for Dev Channel Insiders. Typically, the company mentions a long list of known issues in the build's release notes. For File Explorer, Microsoft officially lists two issues, but it looks like flyers on the Dev Channel have also noticed another bug that apparently causes File Explorer to crash.

This File Explorer crash appears to be triggered when pressing Windows Key X to access the right-click menu on the Start button. File Explorer apparently also restarts itself after a crash. It's important to note that this issue apparently doesn't affect everyone, as File Explorer on our test machine didn't crash when the Win X shortcut was triggered.

The workaround is deployed using the Vibranium feature configuration tool commonly known as ViVeTool. You'll also need a command line (CLI) tool, such as Command Prompt or PowerShell, and administrator privileges.

• Download ViVeTool
• Via PowerShell: .\vivetool addconfig 26008830 2
• Via Command Prompt: vivetool addconfig 26008830 2
• To undo: vivetool delconfig 26008830 2

ViVeTool creator Albacore also commented on this issue:

Albacore believes that due to hidden features such as the newly acquired tablet mode overhaul in Build 22563, right-clicking the Start menu triggers resources Manager crashed. Therefore, enabling the hidden tablet mode taskbar using ViVeTool can resolve this issue.
