Insider KB5060836 Windows 11 Insider Beta build 26120.4452 (24H2) - June 23

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.4452 (KB5060836) to the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders on Windows 11, version 24H2.

Changes in Beta 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 Beta Channel. For more information, see the Reminders section at the bottom of this blog post.

New Copilot+ PC experiences​

Recall Homepage​

We are making it easier and faster for you to find and reconnect with the apps and websites that matter to you by introducing a new personalized homepage to Recall. The new homepage brings your recent activity and top-used content front and center, enabling you to easily get back to your previous tasks.


After you opt-in to snapshot collection, your homepage becomes your personalized productivity portal, displaying:

• Recent Snapshots: Your most recent snapshots captured by Recall, helping you quickly pick up where you left off.
• Top Apps and Websites: A curated view of the top three applications and websites you have spent the most time on in the past 24 hours.

As a reminder, you can set filters for what apps and websites are saved in snapshots by Recall in Settings. For more information, visit: Filtering apps, websites, and sensitive information in Recall – Microsoft Support.

Additionally, we are improving the way you navigate in Recall with the new navigation bar. Located on the left side of the screen, the new navigation bar provides intuitive access to key Recall features including Home, Timeline, Feedback, and Settings. Recall continues to function the same way as before with these improvements.

FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Desktop Environment > Recall or through in-experience links.

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

[Start menu]​

• We are adding a Boolean to the Configure Start Pins policy to allow admins to apply Start menu pins once. This means that a user will receive admin pins on day 0 but can then make any changes to their Start pinned layout and have those safeguarded. These changes can be optionally applied through the existing configuration service provider (CSP).

[File Explorer]​

• We are restarting the roll out of AI actions in File Explorer that began rolling out with Build 26120.4151. Some Insiders may have seen the feature disappear.

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

[General]​

• Fixed an underlying issue in the previous flight which caused input to not work for some Insiders again, including when typing into Search, and with the Chinese pinyin IME candidate window, clipboard history, and the emoji panel.

[Taskbar]​

• Fixed an underlying issue causing some Insiders using the Italian display language to experience repeated explorer.exe crashes in the previous flight.

[File Explorer]​

• Fixed an issue which was causing File Explorer Home to only show a single folder (like Desktop) and nothing else for a small number of people.
• Fixed an underlying issue which was leading to noticeable performance degradation when navigating File Explorer and opening the context menu the more SharePoint sites were synced to File Explorer. This may have also impacted the performance of launching files in this scenario.

[Settings]​

• Fixed an issue where the items under Settings > Windows Update > Update History > Uninstall updates might appear sorted randomly rather than sorted by date.

Fixes for everyone in the Beta Channel​

[General]​

• Fixed the issue causing the Windows Vista boot sound to play instead of the Windows 11 boot sound.
• Fixed an issue where the option to reset your PC under Settings > System > Recovery wasn’t working on the previous build.
• Fixed an underlying issue leading to certain KVM virtual machines unexpectedly failing to boot, showing “UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR”.

Known issues​

[General]​

• [IMPORTANT NOTE]When joining the Beta Channel on Windows 11, version 24H2 – you will be offered Build 26120.4250 After installing Build 26120.4250, you will be offered the most recent update available. This 2-hop experience to get onto the latest flight in the Beta Channel is just temporary.
• 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 Beta Channel updates, which will resolve this issue.
• Some Windows Insiders may experience a rollback trying to install this update with a 0x80070005 in Windows Update. We’re working on a fix for Windows Insiders impacted.

[Start menu]​

The following are known issues for Windows Insiders with the new Start menu:

• Using touch to navigate the new Start menu may not work reliably. For example, it currently does not support the swipe-up gesture.
• Drag and drop capabilities are limited from “All” to “Pinned.”
• In some cases, duplicate entries may appear in folders on the Start menu.

[Xbox Controllers]​

• Some Insiders are experiencing an issue where using their Xbox Controller via Bluetooth is causing their PC to bugcheck. Here is how to resolve the issue. Open Device Manager by searching for it via the search box on your taskbar. Once Device Manager is open, click on “View” and then “Devices by Driver”. Find the driver named “oemXXX.inf (XboxGameControllerDriver.inf)” where the “XXX” will be a specific number on your PC. Right-click on that driver and click “Uninstall”.

[Click to Do (Preview)]​

The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:

• Windows Insiders on AMD or Intel™-powered Copilot+ PCs may experience long wait times on the first attempt to perform intelligent text actions in Click to Do after a new build or model update.

[File Explorer]​

The following are known issues for AI actions in File Explorer:

• Narrator scan mode may not work properly in the action result canvas window for the Summarize AI action for Microsoft 365 files when reading bulleted lists. As a workaround, you can use Caps + Right key to navigate.

[Widgets]​

• Until we complete support for pinning in the new widgets board experience, pinning reverts you back to the previous experience

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel​

• Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel on Windows 11, version 24H2 will receive updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2 via an enablement package (Build 26120.xxxx).
• Updates delivered to the Beta 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 Beta Channel are rolled out using Controlled 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 Beta 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
