Insider Windows 11 Insider Canary and Dev build 26085.1 (24H2) - March 20


UPDATE 3/28:


 Windows Blogs:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26085 to the Canary and Dev Channels.

The Canary and Dev Channels receiving the same builds is only temporary. During the times in which the Canary and Dev Channels are on the same builds (e.g. Build 26085), the window is open for Insiders in the Canary Channel to switch to the Dev Channel. At some point in the future, the Canary Channel will jump to higher build numbers and the window will be closed.


NOTE: Some features may begin rolling out to the Canary Channel first before the Dev Channel even if the two channels have the same build.

Changes and Improvements

[Input]

  • The new pointer indicator accessibility setting for low vision Windows users introduced with Build 26052 has been temporarily disabled with Build 26085. We plan to re-enable this feature in a future flight after fixing some bugs. Thanks to Insiders for all the feedback on this!

[Settings]

  • Windows Insiders who have Bluetooth LE Audio capable assistive hearing devices can now set up and manage their devices via Settings > Accessibility > Hearing aids. This new accessibility settings page allows users to check their PC’s compatibility for Bluetooth LE Audio and pair/manage a set of hearing devices for a more streamlined configuration. Please note that this page is a work-in-progress, and the contents of this page may change over time. (Note this change was first introduced in Build 26052.)

Fixes for known issues

[General]

  • Fixed the underlying issue believed to be the cause of shutdown and hibernation not working in the previous flight.

File Explorer]

  • Fixed an issue where the context menu in File Explorer was missing an acrylic background.
  • Fixed an issue where when opening the context menu in File Explorer, the icons might appear out of place and overlapping text.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing File explorer to leak GDI objects and heap memory for every folder navigation, leading to stability and rendering issues over time.
  • Fixed a memory leak when interacting with archive folders in File Explorer.
  • Fixed an issue causing thumbnails in File Explorer to sometimes unexpectedly be black in the previous flight.

[Sudo]

  • Fixed an issue believed to be the cause of the setting to enable sudo (under System > For Developers) not working for some Insiders.
  • Fixed an issue where if you ran the command “sudo pwsh”, it wasn’t working properly in recent builds.

[Windows Security]

  • Fixed a high hitting Windows Security app crash in the previous flight, which is believed to potentially be the cause of Insiders reporting that the Windows Security app icon in the system tray was sometimes missing in that flight.

[Input]

  • With this build, the recent issues with the mouse cursor disappearing, and other recent issues related to the mouse cursor behaving abnormally should be fixed.

[Settings]

  • Fixed an underlying issue which was causing Settings to freeze sometimes so you couldn’t interact with any of the pages.
  • Fixed an issue where the list of Bluetooth devices under Bluetooth & Devices wasn’t being read out by screen readers in recent builds.

[Windows Update]

  • Fixed the issue causing Insiders in the Dev Channel to see error 0x80070002 when trying to install cumulative updates.
  • Fixed an issue where using “Update and Shutdown” wasn’t shutting down your PC upon completion.

[Other]

  • Fixed an issue that was causing some Insiders to see bugchecks with CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION recently.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing Voice Access to crash on launch for some Insiders in recent builds.
  • Fixed an issue where after renaming your printer, it might not work with print support app association.

Known issues

[General]

  • [IMPORTANT NOTE FOR GAMERS] Most popular games should work correctly again in the most recent Insider Preview builds in the Canary and Dev Channels. Please be sure to submit feedback in Feedback Hub on any issues you see with playing games on the latest builds. We will be removing this note with the next Canary and Dev Channel flight.
  • [UPDATED] We’re continuing to investigate reports of rollbacks (with error code 0xC1900101) when installing the latest builds.
  • [NEW] We’re working on the fix for an issue causing some Insiders to see File Explorer unexpectedly using the previous design and have no tabs in the latest builds.

[Copilot in Windows*]

  • Voice access does not work reliably with the updated Copilot in Windows experience that introduces the ability for Copilot to act like a normal application.
  • Using Windows Ink to write in Copilot will not work with the updated Copilot in Windows experience that introduces the ability for Copilot to act like a normal application window.
  • When Copilot in Windows is docked and resized to a large width, Copilot does not always fill the width of the panel. Resizing Copilot usually fixes this issue.
  • With the updated Copilot in Windows experience that introduces the ability for Copilot to act like a normal application window, you may not be able to bring focus to the “…” or refresh buttons within Copilot when using a keyboard (ex: by using tab to cycle through buttons).

For developers

You can download the latest Windows Insider SDK at aka.ms/windowsinsidersdk.

SDK NuGet packages are now also flighting at NuGet Gallery | WindowsSDK which include:
These NuGet packages provide more granular access to the SDK and better integration in CI/CD pipelines.

SDK flights are now published for both the Canary and Dev Channels, so be sure to choose the right version for your Insider Channel.

Remember to use adaptive code when targeting new APIs to make sure your app runs on all customer machines, particularly when building against the Dev Channel SDK. Feature detection is recommended over OS version checks, as OS version checks are unreliable and will not work as expected in all cases.

Reminders for Windows Insiders

  • The Canary and Dev Channels receive builds with features and experiences that may never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features may change over time, be removed, or replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they’re ready.
  • Many features in the Canary and Dev Channel are rolled out using Control Feature Rollout technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time as we monitor feedback to see how they land before pushing them out to everyone in these channels.
  • As the Canary and Dev Channels receive the same builds, some features may begin rolling out to the Canary Channel first before the Dev Channel.
  • While the Canary Channel is now on Windows 11, version 24H2, this is just temporary. At some point in the future, the Canary Channel will jump ahead to receiving new builds not matched to any specific release in a higher build series.
  • To get off the Canary or Dev Channel, a clean install of Windows 11 will be required. As a reminder – Insiders can’t switch to a channel that is receiving builds with lower build numbers without doing a clean installation of Windows 11 due to technical setup requirements.
  • The desktop watermark shown at the lower right corner of the desktop is normal for these pre-release builds.
  • Check out Flight Hub for a complete look at what build is in which Insider channel.
  • Copilot in Windows* in preview is being rolled out gradually to Windows Insiders in select global markets. The initial markets for the Copilot in Windows preview include North America, United Kingdom and parts of Asia and South America. It is our intention to add additional markets over time.
Thanks,
Amanda & Brandon

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, and 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2.

No - it just means they will diverge as we get nearer 24H2 - Dev will have new features that have a good chance of ending up in 24H2 (not all though). Canary will jump ahead nearer the time, diverging, and will start to trial features that definitely will not appear in release version until 25H2. In other words, Dev will slow down relative to Canary,

Canary basically works like the older Skip Ahead.
Still, no reason for 2 separate channels right now.
It will make sense when they release two separate Build numbers. 😂😂

Good luck!
I don't think you will get a fix for that.
As I remember, I had to upgrade from an older build to get rid of that problem. 😉

I had that for several builds of beta, then suddenly after one of the builds it went away — i.e. back to normal display!

Good for you.
I waited several builds, and I was never getting it fixed. I only had this problem with Canary.

Is that just cuz you've got a dual boot scenario going, or do you get the same on Shift/Restart?

This seems like a silly reason to keep 2 separate insider channels with the same exact Build#. 😂
MS logic. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

NOTE: Some features may begin rolling out to the Canary Channel first before the Dev Channel even if the two channels have the same build.
I might be wrong but I think that MS is keeping the Window to downgrade from the Canary Build to the Dev builds open a little longer. It will change.

Of course there needs to be two channels, so a user can be on whichever they prefer before the future divergence. There was a lot of fuss when people got moved without their agreement from Dev to Canary. This way, a user is in control.

It makes no sense to merge the channels - it would be more confusing than just says the two channels are running in parallel.

I didn't think about it before but I'm trying a work around. I unlocked the Taskbar and on my secondary monitor I moved it to the bottom. I'm going to do a restart and see what happens.

Notepad 11.2402.18.0 is now rolling out to WIP Canary. The settings page has been updated with a nice new animation, and there are now some sections (Text Formatting, Opening Notepad)

Windows Notepad will be getting spell check/autocorrect soon! Here are some toggles in the app's settings page:
In a way, I am rather anti these developments.

Notepad's charm was its simplicity, and we had wordpad for more complicated formatting.

In the end, Notepad will over time end up much like Wordpad.

I cannot see logic of removing wordpad and then developing some of its features in Notepad.

These developments are "Solutions to problems I never had"!

I'm getting the same thing, with the Taskbar on the bottom..., whether I maximize via the Title Bar button or snap to max...
My work around survived a restart. Now my Taskbar is on top on monitor 1 and on the bottom on monitor 2.

Edit: it's not going to work. I tried with different programs and the bottoms are now hidden. I'm going back to hiding the Taskbar on the second monitor.

Here we go live resuming updates! (been paused and stuck since 26040) and it finds..... wait for it..... drum roll.....ahhh 26058 yet again and another build that wont install. Microsoft just dont seem bothered to fix the roll back bug, all there attention seems to be going on Bing and Copilot garbage. Looks like im finished here

I am in the same situation. In Canary keeps 26058, that download, install... and rollback. Change to Dev channel and again 26080.1300, that, when try to download, stops the wuauserv service and get stucked in 0 or 1%.

I've tried with the UUP isos. The same (more or less). 26058 begin installation ok but performs rollback about 75%. The others (26080 and 26085), if let it search updates, closes the window in a a few seconds. If mark the "not now" checklist, check the computer, ok, appears the Terms of Use screen, and after the acceptance, check status to installation, and the window closes almost inmediately. Close Road.

Looks like something about services, but I don´t find any other information on error or anything.

You have mixed resolutions? Mine's a laptop screen 1920 at 125% to an HDMI 2560 at 100%. I've always had trouble with mixed resolutions! 4K's are even worse!

Of course there needs to be two channels, so a user can be on whichever they prefer before the future divergence. There was a lot of fuss when people got moved without their agreement from Dev to Canary. This way, a user is in control.

It makes no sense to merge the channels - it would be more confusing than just says the two channels are running in parallel.
They don't have to merge anything, just stop updating Canary till they are ready with a new build #. 🤐🤷‍♂️

Is that just cuz you've got a dual boot scenario going, or do you get the same on Shift/Restart?
Sorry about the delay in replying, that was the Dev build with the issues nd I'd just rebooted to Canary and started its update. Had to wait for that to finish before I could test (and yes, Canary has exactly the same issues).

It's just affecting the boot menu at startup, Shift+Restart gets a perfectly normal Advance Startup menu - blue, fully functional, and the correct size. If you don't have any other boot options (such as another OS or Reflect added to the boot menu) then you'd never see this.

This seems to be hardware dependent, most machine don't have an issue. This is not the first time a Canary build has had a 'borked' boot menu on this particular (fully supported) device. Last time round the boot menu was completely black but still responded correctly to clicking on it (if you could guess where to click). The Advance Startup menu was also misbehaving, but not as badly. See this post of mine.....
