However, there was another nifty addition that slightly went under the radar. With the Windows 11 build 22563, you now get a completely revamped App Picker menu. Flaunting a Fluent Design, and the support for Dark Theme, this menu now also beholds different menu sets. Up until this point, you get two options: OK and Always use this app to open files. The first option would open the said file via the selected application just for one-time usage whereas the latter option would make the selected app the default one to handle that file type.

In the revamped app picker, all this has been made more clear. The OK button is now replaced with Just Once whereas the Always use this app option has been substituted with the Always button (sounds familiar, Android users?). But as mentioned before, it is still in the developer preview phase and you cannot enable this by simply turning on any toggle. However, there exists a nifty workaround through which you could enable the new App Picker dialog box in Windows 11. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
