Microsoft has Just rolled out a new build of Windows 11 exclusively for Windows Insiders on the Canary Channel. Notably, this release is specific to the Canary Channel, even though both Canary and Dev Channels share the same release branch. The reason behind this is that Microsoft is introducing servicing updates to Insiders in the Dev Channel, aiming to test their update pipeline.
The latest build introduces support for Wi-Fi 7 and includes new Copilot features.
UPDATE: Here is my hands on video
Wi-Fi 7
Microsoft have added support for Wi-Fi 7 on Windows 11. This is new standard also known as IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT).
Copilot in Windows
After publishing last week’s build Microsoft added 16 new commands for Copilot in Windows:
Ask for available wireless networks.
Ask for system or device information.
Ask for battery information.
Ask to clean storage.
Ask to empty recycle bin.
Ask to toggle battery saver.
Ask to show startup apps.
Ask for your IP address.
Ask for system, device, or storage information.
Ask to turn on narrator.
Ask to open voice access.
Ask to turn on magnifier.
Ask to change text size.
Ask to start live captions.
Ask to turn on high-contrast.
Ask to start voice typing.
You should be able to try these in the new build.
Other changes, fixes and known issues:
Fixes for known issues
Fixed an issue causing some Insiders to experience an issue where the network icon in the system tray showed they didn’t have an internet connection when connected to some VPNs even though the internet connection was working. Those impact may have also seen some apps think there wasn’t an internet connection when there really was.
The fix for the issue causing Build 26058 to not be listed under Settings > Windows Update > Update history like it should is making its way out. It may take another flight or two for builds to properly show up under Update History.
Fixed a high hitting DWM crash in the last couple flights.
Fixed an underlying issue with plug and play which may have impacted audio device setup in the last 2 builds. If you’re continuing to experience issues with audio not playing after this build, please file feedback under Devices and Drivers > Audio and sound in the Feedback Hub.
Fixed an issue where typing too quickly in the Settings search box could result in the results not loading completely.
Fixed an issue causing the three-finger touchpad gesture for middle mouse click (if you had enabled this in touchpad settings) to not work in some apps.
Fixed an issue where attempted to use the Move option when you pressed ALT + Space was causing a window to resize instead of move.
Fixed an issue for Insiders with multiple monitors, where opening a minimized window might result in the window appearing on the wrong monitor.
Fixed an issue which could cause the clock in the taskbar to stop updating.
Fixed an issue which could cause the taskbar icons to shift around under your mouse as you moved your mouse across the taskbar.
Fixed an issue where the “Notify when apps request location” option in Settings under Privacy & Security > Location was reset after reboot.
Fixed an issue that was causing the Windows Update page in Settings to unexpectedly flash messages sometimes (too quickly to read) in the previous flight.
Known issues
[General]
[IMPORTANT NOTE FOR GAMERS – UPDATED!] Some popular games may not work correctly and cause a bugcheck (green screen) when launched 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DEV DRIVE USERS: Insiders on Build 26052+ who have Dev Drives and might need to rollback will need to back up their Dev Drives BEFORE rolling back as rolling back will cause Dev Drives to break and data on them to be lost.
A Display Connection section is incorrectly showing up under Settings > System > Display > Graphics that when clicked, will crash Settings. This section will be removed in a future flight.
Using the ISOs for Build 26058 to upgrade instead of doing a clean install may not work if you choose “Keep nothing” in the Windows Setup experience. To upgrade to the latest build in the Canary and Dev Channels, please use Windows Update.
[UPDATED] We’ve made a change to help reduce the number of rollbacks (with error code 0xC1900101) when installing the latest builds and are continuing to investigate reports.
We’re working on the fix for an issue causing the input switcher (WIN + Space) design to revert back to an older style and draw in the wrong location.
In some cases, the File Explorer context menu no longer has the acrylic effect. This will be fixed in a future flight.
[NEW] We’re investigating reports of mouse cursor issues after installing Build 26058, including that the cursor is disappearing in some apps. If you’re experiencing issues, please file feedback describing exactly what you’re seeing under Input and Language > Mouse in the Feedback Hub.
[NEW] When opening the context menu in File Explorer, the icons may appear out of place and overlapping text.
