Microsoft has released mew builds of Windows 11 for Windows Insiders on the Dev and Canary channels. Build 23601 is for devices on the Dev channel and 26010 is for devices on the Canary channel.
Build 26010 for the Canary Channel
The widgets setting screen has been updated giving you more customisation options. You an choose which account you want to link to the widgets, you are no longer forced to use the Windows account you sign in with.
Another change is with Copilot, you can now undock it via the button at the top right of the header:
We are trying out the ability to “undock” Copilot in Windows with Windows Insiders. Just click the new icon to unpin the Copilot panel at the top right in the header. While undocked, Copilot can appear above or below other apps in Windows while maintaining its fixed position on the desktop. This allows users to access Copilot while minimizing disruption to other user activities. Additionally, can resize the Copilot window for a more comfortable experience. Simply click-and-drag the edge of the Copilot window to adjust the width to your needs.
Microsoft are again rolling out the scrollable view button in Quick Settings. You can also re-arrange your quick actions.
Here are the other changes, fixes and known issues:
[Task Manager]
The Task Manager settings page now has Mica material.
[Settings]
Optional features previously listed under Settings > Apps has moved to its own page under Settings > System.
Fixes for known issues
Fixed an issue which was causing the restart button to be missing in Settings > Windows Update, or for that settings page to not load at all with the previous flight. If you are on Build 26002 and encounter this trying to upgrade to Build 26010, you can reboot by clicking the Windows Update icon in the system tray or open Start and reboot from the power button there.
Fixed an issue where attempting to rebooting into safe mode would hang on the boot logo.
Fixed an issue causing some Insiders to experience an increase in bugchecks in the last two flights.
Fixed a high hitting taskhostw.exe crash in the last flight which some Insiders were seeing on their PCs.
Made some improvements to help address an issue where the background could be seen jumping when switching between desktops.
Fixed an issue which was causing File Explorer to revert to the previous design and opening the context menu to crash explorer.exe for some Insiders.
Known issues
[General]
[REMINDER] Some popular games may not work correctly on the most recent Insider Preview builds in the Canary Channel. Please be sure to submit feedback in Feedback Hub on any issues you see with playing games on these builds.
[NEW] We’re investigating an issue where keyboard shortcuts are not working on the desktop – including using the delete key to delete files off of your desktop, CTRL key combos to take action on desktop icons, or using ALT + F4 on the desktop to open the shutdown dialog. As a workaround for the former, please use the Desktop folder within File Explorer.
[NEW] We’re investigating an issue where opening the print queue is showing a messaging saying it can’t find the app.
[ADDED] We’re aware of issues with WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) not rendering correctly. A fix is coming in a future flight.
[Widgets]
[NEW] The Microsoft 365, Outlook Calendar, and To Do widgets get stuck in an error state when the Microsoft Start feed is disabled.
[NEW] You may experience a loading delay when the Microsoft Start feed is reenabled.
[NEW] Announcements from the Microsoft Start feed are still shown on the taskbar after the feed is hidden.
[NEW] The Widgets Board should automatically close and reopen when enabling or disabling feeds.

[NEW] Incorrect spacing and fonts used in some settings pages.
Build 23601 for Windows Insiders on the Dev channel
This build has support for Windows 365 Boot, as that is primarily for enterprise users so I recommend reading the blog posts for all the details.
The rest of the changes are the same as the Canary channel above including the widget board settings improvements and the copilot dock change.
The other changes is improved discovery of screen casting and links to the online help:
Windows Share now supports sharing via WhatsApp.
