Insider KB5050090 Windows 11 Insider Beta and Dev build 26120.3073 (24H2) - Jan. 31


UPDATE 2/14:


 Windows Blogs:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3073 (KB5050090) to the Dev Channel. With this update, we are previewing the ability to use improved Windows Search to find files saved in your OneDrive with Windows Insiders with Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs. We also have a small Paint update rolling out (see below).

Starting today, we are beginning to offer the same Dev Channel updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2 to Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel. These updates will be optional at first, so if you are in the Beta Channel today, you can upgrade when you are ready to do so.

Optional Windows 11, version 24H2 update offers in Windows Update for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel highlighted in a red box.
Optional Windows 11, version 24H2 update offers in Windows Update for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel highlighted in a red box.

We plan to make these updates recommended later this year, which means you will eventually get upgraded to 24H2-based updates automatically if you are in the Beta Channel. Until that happens, the Beta Channel will continue to receive both updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2 AND Windows 11, version 23H2 (but sometimes not at the same time). Please note that if you choose to upgrade to receiving updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2 in the Beta Channel, you may lose some feature rollouts.

If you are an Insider in the Dev Channel, you now have a window to switch from the Dev Channel to the Beta Channel if you would like. This window will only be open for as long as we’re releasing the same 24H2-based updates across both the Dev and Beta Channels. By the end of February, the Dev Channel will jump ahead to receiving updates with higher build numbers and once this happens, the opportunity to switch between these channels will close. When the Dev Channel jumps ahead, things might not be as stable as the Dev Channel is today, so we highly encourage you to evaluate which channel you would like to be in during the time in which the window to switch is open.


New Copilot+ PC experiences

Find photos saved in the cloud with improved Windows Search

A few weeks ago, we began previewing improved Windows Search with Windows Insiders on Copilot+ PCs. In that first preview, we introduced semantic indexing along with traditional lexical indexing for finding files saved locally in indexed locations on Copilot+ PCs with 40+ TOPS NPU onboard.

Today, we are excited to announce support for also finding photos saved in the cloud with improved Windows Search. Just use your own words to find photos stored and saved in the cloud by describing what they are about like “European castles” or “summer picnics” in the search box at the top right corner of File Explorer. In addition to photos stored locally on your Copilot+ PC, photos from the cloud will now show up in the search results together. In addition to searching for photos, exact matches for your keywords within the text of your cloud files will show in the search results.

Results including mountain bike photos one from the cloud in File Explorer with improved Windows Search.
Results including mountain bike photos one from the cloud in File Explorer with improved Windows Search.

Finding photos saved in the cloud currently works when searching within File Explorer directly. This will also work directly from the Windows search box on the taskbar in a future flight.

You can try this experience out today with your personal OneDrive when signed in with your Microsoft account and connected to the internet. If you are signed into OneDrive with a work or school account (Entra ID), you will only see matches for keywords you are searching for within the text of your cloud files in the search results – not photos. Third-party cloud providers will be able to support this experience with their services as well with documentation coming soon.

We’re excited to introduce a new way to find your cloud content in Windows and will continue improving search results and capabilities over time. These improved Windows Search experiences continue to gradually roll out to Windows Insiders on Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, including finding photos saved in the cloud, so you may not see these experiences right away. Support for AMD and Intel-powered Copilot+ PCs is coming soon. See here for more details.

You can learn more about semantic search on Copilot + PCs here.

Other changes that are included in this Dev and Beta Channel update

This update (Build 26120.3073) includes other changes and improvements available to Windows Insiders across all Windows 11 PCs in addition to the features noted above that are exclusive to Copilot+ PCs. These changes are documented below 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*).

  • 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*

[Settings]

  • We are starting to roll out the Settings homepage for commercial customers on PCs managed by an IT administrator. The feature will show some existing cards relevant to enterprise-managed PCs like “Recommended settings” and “Bluetooth devices” as well as two new enterprise-specific device info and accessibility preferences cards. For commercial customers who also use their Microsoft account on their managed PC, there will also be a new accounts card indicating the presence of both work and school and Microsoft account types. We are starting the rollout of this gradually with managed commercial PCs who have both work and school, and Microsoft accounts presently seeing this experience first.

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

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • Fixed an issue which was causing the taskbar preview windows to not display sometimes when hovering over open apps in the taskbar.

[File Explorer]

  • We did some work to help address an issue where File Explorer might hang when browsing a folder with lots of media in it.
  • Fixed an issue where if you opened a File Explorer window and minimized it in, it might not be rendered correctly when you restored it.

[Improved Windows Search]

  • Fixed the issue where in some rare cases, searching on Outlook while offline might result in some results not being found.

[Live Captions]

  • Fixed an issue where live captions might show an icon in the taskbar, but the window wouldn’t display on the screen, after disconnecting a second monitor.

[Remote Desktop]

  • Fixed an issue which was causing Remote Desktop to show significant display / rendering issues when connecting to certain other computers.

[Settings]

  • Fixed an issue which was causing Settings to crash when interacting with the Bluetooth & Devices page sometimes.

[Other]

  • Fixed an issue where when using GDI+ to shrink an image, the colors may be wrong afterwards..
  • Fixed an issue which could cause shutdown to be noticeably slower on certain devices when a controller was connected.
  • Fixed an underlying issue causing the Windows Security pop up when signing into certain Wi-Fi networks to not be interactable. This may have also impacted interacting with this pop up for certain other options in Settings.
  • Fixed an issue where the description for virtual NICs wasn’t displayed correctly in ncpa.cpl, it showed garbled characters.

Fixes for everyone in the Dev Channel

[General]

  • We fixed the issue causing a 0xc0e90001 error to occur when booting into Windows Recovery (WinRE) on Arm64 PCs.

[Other]

  • [Memory leak] Fixed: Leaks occur when predictive input ideas show.
  • [High dynamic range (HDR)] Fixed: The display of some games appears oversaturated. This occurs when you use Auto HDR.
  • [Remote Desktop Gateway] Fixed: You get errors or cannot sign when you connect to Windows 11 workstations. This occurs when you enforce device redirection.
  • [USB audio device drivers] Fixed: The code 10 error message, “This device cannot start” appears. This occurs when you connect to certain external audio management devices.

Known issues

[General]

  • After you do a PC reset under Settings > System > Recovery, your build version may incorrectly show as Build 26100 instead of Build 26120. This will not prevent you from getting future Dev Channel updates which will resolve this issue.
  • [NEW] We’re investigating an issue causing unexpectedly high DCOM CPU usage for some Insiders after opening the Performance section of Task Manager

[Recall]

The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
  • Recall can be enabled or disabled from “Turn Windows features on or off”. We are caching the Recall binaries on disk while we test add/remove. In a future update we will completely remove the binaries.
  • Some users may see a message to “Make sure Recall is saving snapshots”, while the Settings page for Recall shows saving snapshots is enabled. Reboot your device to resolve this issue.
  • Make sure you update Microsoft 365 apps to the latest version so you can jump back into specific documents.

[Click to Do]

The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
  • Sometimes additional context is given when using more intelligent text actions powered by Phi Silica.
  • The intelligent text actions leverage the power of Microsoft’s secure cloud to improve your text results by ensuring prompts and responses are safe and appropriate. This data is automatically deleted. Local moderation to ensure the safety of prompts and responses will be added in the future, replacing this cloud endpoint.
  • If any of your actions on image entities are no longer appearing, please ensure you have the latest updates for the Photos and Paint app from the Microsoft Store.

[Live captions & real-time translation]

The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
  • Some Insiders may see a crash on first launch of live captions. Restart live captions if you encounter this issue and you will not see it again.
  • If audio is playing or the microphone is enabled, switching languages will crash live captions. Stop audio when changing languages to resume captions or translations.

[Improved Windows Search]

The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
  • [NEW] The AI sparkle and underline animation in the File Explorer search box is not present in this build even when improved Windows Search is in use on your Copilot+ PC. If your search results are powered by improved Windows Search, you will see a notice at the bottom of File Explorer stating, “Search uses AI to find results” and directing you to file feedback if something doesn’t look right.
  • In this build, the search box on the taskbar does not yet have the same underline and sparkles icon UI that the File Explorer search box has. This is coming in a future flight.
  • In some rare cases, improved Windows search experiences may not be available and may require a reboot to start working.
  • In some rare cases, File explorer search might be unresponsive and may require a reboot to start working.
  • The tip about the new search improvements appears whenever you set focus to the search box in File Explorer, rather than only once.

[File Explorer]

  • We’re investigating an issue causing File Explorer to be very slow to close for some Insiders when closing using the X button. This may also have an impact on the other title bar buttons.

[Power and Battery]

  • [NEW] The colors in the new battery icon aren’t displaying correctly when you have your mode in Personalization > Colors set to certain options with Custom.

[Settings]

  • [NEW] The Home page of Settings may crash. If you are impacted by this, you should still be able to open specific Settings pages directly by searching for them from the taskbar.

Paint Update

We are rolling out an update for Paint (version 11.2412.271.0 and higher) to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels. In this update, we are introducing the Copilot menu to Paint where you can access all the intelligent features which help you complete your image generation and editing tasks faster. Clicking on the Copilot icon from the toolbar will expand into a drop-down menu where you can easily access the features Cocreator, Image Creator, Generative erase, and Remove background. Note that Cocreator is only available on Copilot+ PCs. Within the dropdown, each feature will also include a short description to help you choose the right tool.

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 PC 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.
  • Please note that some accessibility features may not work with features like Recall and Click to Do while in preview with Windows Insiders.
  • 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

Yes, it behaves as per your findings.
MS never responded to the FBH report, they added that silly bug.
It is clearly a programming mistake. 🤣🤣🤷‍♂️
Disabling that feature id fixes the problem.


Note:
On one machine on DEV channel, it was enough to issue a "reset" of the feature id, but on a second machine in the BETA channel with the same Build 26120.3073 I had to issue a "disable" of that feature id, the reset was not enough. 🤣🤣🤣

Then on Feb 1, 2025, it started working again just after issuing a reset.
Now it shows that id is not found in Runtime Store and the problem is gone anyway. Not sure what game MS is playing with these experiments. 🤷‍♂️

This update totally hosed up the language system from the 23H2 previous version -- It's an absolute dogs dinner of a mess - totally "unfixable" so gone back to 23H2 release. The only thing good about the 24H2 update was thet "go back to your previous version" worked quickly without incident saving me running macrium restore etc.

Back to : (previous working version).

If you run multiple languages on your system I suspect you would really need to do a clean install of this 24H2 system .

I'll have a go as a VM to test it.

In my case I updated one machine from 22635.4805 to 26120.3073 on Beta channel and it worked fine, but I'm only using one language, English-US, no multiple languages on this machine. 😂🤷‍♂️.

Apps working -- no issue with that - but the miasma of bits and pieces even in the same line in mixed languages is just 100% B/S --and can't uninstall / re-install any of them.

I've never understood why Windows programmers can't do something REALLY SIMPLE with languages -- just have the screen elements (text bits e.g menu texts etc) as parts of a "Data dictionary" - so all you need are the basic standard screens and the appropriate data dictionary elements -- the screens are all basic Windows standards - so the text elements should be simple enough to build a "DDIC" for. Any sensible programming system has mechanisms to separate the GUI from the underlying application -- I haven't done basic coding for years but back years ago that was always the approach we took with GUI type things. Especially these days with things like python which makes classes, methods, GUI generation etc simple - so much easier than having to use convoluted C++ stuff etc.

It looks like Apps & Features has been removed from this preview and without it I cannot remove a device I no longer have from Phone Link. Copilot suggests I ask here for a solution. Anyone now how to reset Phone Link or maybe even uninstall it?

0x8000ffff is a tough one. You'll find folk remedies around (disable 3rd-party AV, WU troubleshooter, resetting WU, etc), but if that sort of thing hasn't worked, what might get you on the right track is an in-place upgrade/repair (WU, Advanced, Options, Recovery, Fix problems using WU). What definitely would is if you make an ISO, mount it, and upgrade that way.

Robgr, In your file explorer hit the three dots next to view that usually have an upside down menu for most people now lol and select options. Go to the view tab in folder options and make sure "Restore Previous Folder Windows at Login" is selected. It should automatically take effect after that. If you don't get the option yet you will probably need a vivetool code to enable it but I don't know what the code is, sorry.

Robgr, In your file explorer hit the three dots next to view that usually have an upside down menu for most people now lol and select options. Go to the view tab in folder options and make sure "Restore Previous Folder Windows at Login" is selected. It should automatically take effect after that. If you don't get the option yet you will probably need a vivetool code to enable it but I don't know what the code is, sorry.
It is available also on current public Build 26100.3037. 😎

Was stuck on 97% for a long time (reason why I found this forum) but eventually it went fine :)
Just in case I ran SFC and DISM (as I saw some posts about them above) and Health check found no issues.
My system is in Czech with other languages installed too. No issues there either.

I saw the switch option there but it didn't work for me on that 26100. 3037 build. Soon as I switched back to Beta to get this build I got it working again. I should point out I also uncheck the "Open desktop folders and external links in new tab" option as I don't like Control Panel etc. opening in the same window as my other tabs as it seems to create a new separate window for all my tabs abandoning the original window. Sounds kind of weird but if you try it you'll probably see what I mean.

Yes, the option is there, but it is useless on public Build. 😂🤷‍♂️
I tried it on Dev 26120.3073, and it works as advertised. 👍

Edit:
Tested and then disabled it, I don't really need or want that option. 😂😂

Hello,

I'm on the Beta channel. My laptop doesn't support Windows 11 so i can't update it from the windows update because it doesn't go any further during the check. So i downloaded the iso file and can start the installation from the command prompt. I did the same last time (26100.2454). Everything went fine, the build number is OK (26120.3073), but the windows update says that there is an update. The picture is attached. Why is this?

Why are you posting in a Beta & Dev thread?
Were you offered 26120.3073 as well?
Because if you had bothered to look at my previous posts, I was saying that it was taking well over an hour to update to 26120.3073 as I was updating from the 26100.3037 RP build.
