Insider KB5046746 Windows 11 Insider Dev build 26120.2222 (24H2) - Nov. 8


UPDATE 11/22:


 Windows Blogs:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2222 (KB5046746) to the Dev Channel.

Changes in Dev Channel builds and updates are documented in two buckets: new features, improvements, and fixes that are being gradually rolled out for Insiders who have turned on the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available (via Settings > Windows Update*) and then new features, improvements, and fixes rolling out to everyone in the Dev Channel. For more information, see the Reminders section at the bottom of this blog post.


Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*

[General]

  • If you hold Shift and CTRL when clicking on a jump list item in Start menu or taskbar, this will now launch that item as admin, just like if you were to do Shift + CTRL and click the app icon itself. For example, if you right-click on Windows Terminal, and hold Shift and CTRL when you click PowerShell, it would open a PowerShell window as admin.

Fixes gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*

[File Explorer]

  • Fixed an issue causing the See More (“…”) menu to open in the wrong direction (and potentially display offscreen as a result).

[Input]

  • Fixed an underlying issue which could cause the mouse to unlock from a game window on a system with multiple monitors after opening and closing Game Bar, so you couldn’t use it within the game.

[Windowing]

  • Fixed a recent issue causing windows to potentially unexpectedly move around after waking from sleep if you had multiple monitors.

[Other]

  • Fixed an underlying issue which could lead to Registry Editor going unresponsive if you pressed Alt after clicking on the license information in the About section.

Known issues

[Narrator]

  • [NEW] [IMPORTANT] There is an issue in this build which will cause Narrator to crash on launch if you use one of the natural voices (like Jenny). If you are a Narrator user, we recommend pausing updates from Settings under Windows Update > “Pause Updates”. If you do install this update and encounter this issue, switching to another voice, like Microsoft David, in Settings under Accessibility > Narrator will stop the crashes. As Narrator is crashing, you will need to use a secondary screen reader, or have someone assist in order to do this.

[Desktop]

  • We’re working on the fix for an issue where your desktop background may not show correctly sometimes with multiple monitors (showing big black areas).

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel

  • Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel receive updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2 via an enablement package (Build 26120.xxxx).
  • Updates delivered to the Dev Channel are in a format that offers a preview of enhancements to servicing technology on Windows 11, version 24H2. To learn more, see Introducing Windows 11 checkpoint cumulative updates | Windows IT Pro Blog.
  • Many features in the 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 this channel.
  • For Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel who want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you, you can turn ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update*. Over time, we will increase the rollouts of features to everyone with the toggle turned on. Should you keep this toggle off, new features will gradually be rolled out to your device over time once they are ready.
  • Features and experiences included in these builds 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.
  • Some features in active development we preview with Windows Insiders may not be fully localized and localization will happen over time as features are finalized. As you see issues with localization in your language, please report those issues to us via Feedback Hub.
  • Because the Dev and Beta Channels represent parallel development paths from our engineers, there may be cases where features and experiences show up in the Beta Channel first.
  • Check out Flight Hub for a complete look at what build is in which Insider channel.
Thanks,
Amanda & Brandon

Things aren't going great here as the day goes on. I got that weird App Reset message again and as before it was when I opened and used Irfan View. Other unrelated issues have come to light.

CMD will not open either in regular or admin mode. You can see it flash up and minimise in under 100ms and that's it. Powershell works and I ran SFC which said corrupt files fixed. No good. Ran DISM Restore Health and that downloaded a whole bunch of stuff but still no good.

Restore back with Macrium to 3rd Nov (whatever build that was) and still the same, no CMD.

I've come back to current up to date image and might try a repair install either later today or tomorrow. Might also try researching the issue a bit more as well.

Time for a break :-)

I used the 'Reset this PC' option in settings which keeps everything and installs a fresh copy of Windows. Problem seems fixed.

Probably warranting a thread on its own but why does SFC and DISM not fix these kind of issues? That surely is the whole point of those tools.

    With all this gaming rig I am not a gamer!
I downloaded the ISO and went to install as I normally do last night and it just sat at the screen below for hours.... so I turned the PC off and tried again this morning - it's doing the same.... this is normally fairly quick on my PC....

I cancelled it after hours of waiting and now (hours later again) this is still showing! Something weird is happening!

Never saw that happen. Maybe run a full system cleanup yourself ahead of time? I would suggest waiting for the new build, as one is overdue, but this feels more like a you thing than a bug. It's some kind of edge case, though perhaps a corrupt ISO (it would have been one that you made).

Im confused, is this intended\correct or did something go wrong?
I'm in release preview with "get the latest updates as soon as they're available" toggled on, this system has only ever been in release preview.

I had an update overnight, finished install today.
Winver reports 26120.2222 - Insider settings show build: 26120.2222 ge_release

Update history shows:

"Online Service Experience Pack — Windows.Settings.Account — version 4.0.783.0 - Successfully installed on ‎20/‎11/‎2024"

Sorry if I am completely blind or missed it mentioned somewhere in some notes or something.

Looks like a major screwup, you should be with R.P. 26100.2454, but you ended up with a Dev Build 26120.2222. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

I used the link in the thread... It did take ages to compile I must admit this time. I'll wait till the next release I think as the only issue I have at present is shut down doesn't work....
