Insider KB5062669 Windows 11 Insider Dev build 26200.5722 (25H2) - July 28


UPDATE 8/01:


 Windows Blogs:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5722 (KB5062669) 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.


New Copilot+ PC experiences

Introducing the new agent in Settings rolling out for AMD and Intel®-powered Copilot+ PCs

We are rolling out the new agent in Settings experience for AMD and Intel®-powered Copilot+ PCs. This experience is designed to help solve one of the most common frustrations we heard: finding and changing settings on your PC. With this update to Settings, you will be able to simply describe what you need help with like, “how to control my PC by voice” or “my mouse pointer is too small” and the agent will recommend the right steps you can take to address the issue. An agent uses AI on your PC to understand your intent and with your permission, automate and execute tasks on your behalf. Please note that this experience works if your primary display language is set to English.

FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Settings > All other settings.

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

[General]

  • Some Windows Insiders in the Dev and Beta Channels will see a refreshed SCOOBE screen (Second Chance Out of Box Experience) for reviewing recommended settings on your PC. This redesigned screen is meant to be more intuitive and streamlined, allowing you to choose the recommended settings you want for your PC without having to navigate through multiple setup screens. If you see this screen, let us know if you have any feedback via Feedback Hub.

[Click to Do (Preview)]

The following changes and improvements are rolling out for Click to Do on Copilot+ PCs:
  • We are beginning to roll out a new tutorial for Click to Do. When you launch Click to Do for the first time, you’ll be offered a quick interactive tutorial that shows you how to accomplish tasks faster. During the tutorial, you’ll take actions on both text and images, so you’ll know how to quickly get a summary of a large block of text or remove the background from an image. You can revisit the tutorial at any time by selecting …, then Start tutorial.

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • We are making a change to how quickly Windows can apply enterprise pins to the taskbar when initiated by the IT admins. We want to reduce the gap between an IT admin applying the pinning policy and when their users see a pin on their taskbar. Today, the policy only applies when explorer restarts. With this change, the gap is only up to ~8 hours (policy refresh interval) and sidesteps the explorer restart requirement.

[Search on the Taskbar]

  • In the left pane of the search results in the Windows Search box on the taskbar, we are introducing a new grid view to help you more quickly and accurately identify the desired image within your search.

[Lock screen]

  • We have made some updates to the UI for configuring widgets on the lock screen under Settings > Personalization > Lock screen.

[Notification Center]

  • To address your feedback, we are extending the functionality of Notification Center to secondary monitors. This means you will be able to see your calendar on any of your monitors as well as the option to show a bigger clock with seconds above calendar. You will be able to open Notification Center on any monitor by clicking the date and time in the system tray of your taskbar.

[Task Manager]

  • After disabling to fix some issues, we are beginning to roll out the change the way Task Manager calculates CPU utilization for the Processes, Performance, and Users pages again to Windows Insiders in the Dev and Beta Channels. Task Manager will now use the standard metrics to display CPU workload consistently across all pages and aligning with industry standards and third-party tools. For backward compatibility, a new optional column called CPU Utility is available (hidden by default) on the Details tab showing the previous CPU value used on the Processes page.

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

[Taskbar]

  • Fixed an issue where the Task View icon in the taskbar might be unexpectedly invisible if you turned it off and back on in Settings (the space was reserved and you could click it to open Task View, but nothing showed in the space).
  • Fixed a race condition which could lead to the Widgets icon not displaying in the taskbar although it was enabled in Settings (no space reserved, clicking the area did nothing).

[Login and lock]

  • Fixed an issue which was causing the text for lock screen widgets to be unreadable in some cases because it was white on a light background.
  • Did some work to address an underlying issue which could lead to the taskbar being slow to load when unlocking your PC after coming out of sleep. This issue could also have led to the password field and other login screen contents not rendering when transitioning from lock screen to login screen after sleep. If you continue experiencing issues, please report them in the Feedback Hub under Install and Update > Logon hangs.

[File Explorer]

  • Fixed an issue where if you tried to use the unblock open in Properties for a file, it will still show as blocked when you opened Properties the next time.

[Start menu]

  • Fixed an issue for those with the new Start menu where if you used touch to navigate the new Start menu, it wasn’t working reliably. For example, it didn’t support the swipe-up gesture.

[Input]

  • Fixed an issue which was causing the Microsoft Changjie Input method to not work properly in the previous build.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing phonetic keyboards, such as the Hindi Phonetic Input keyboard and the Marathi Phonetic keyboard, to not work properly in the previous build.

[Administrator Protection]

  • Fixed an underlying issue where the Xbox app wouldn’t launch when administrator protection was enabled. This may have also impacted other apps too, showing error 0xC0000142 or 0xC0000045.

[Settings]

  • Fixed an issue where under Settings > System > Storage > Disks and Volumes there might show a link for BitLocker drive encryption although it wasn’t supported in that case. Clicking it would result in BitLocker opening and displaying error 0x80004005.

[Other]

  • Fixed an issue causing Insiders to see multiple error pop ups about unexpected elements when opening Group Policy Editor.
  • Fixed an underlying issue causing a small number of Insiders to experience a bugcheck with error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL in the latest builds.
  • Fixed an underlying issue impacting installers for certain apps on ARM64 PCs, which could result in a long stall during the installation process.

Fixes for everyone in the Dev Channel

[Graphics]

  • Fixed an issue where external graphics cards connected over Thunderbolt were unexpectedly not discoverable in some cases.

Known issues

[General]

  • 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. If you are impacted, using Settings > System > Recovery > “Fix issues using Windows update” may resolve the issue.

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • [ADDED 7/30] We are investigating reports that all apps pinned to the taskbar are unpinned for some Insiders after updating to Build 26200.5722.

[Live Captions]

  • Live captions may crash when attempting to use live translation on a Copilot+ PC.

[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.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel

  • Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel receive updates based on Windows 11, version 25H2 via an enablement package (Build 26200.xxxx). For more information on Windows 11, version 25H2 – see this blog post.
  • 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, that's one part of it. But if you also have the "Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update" cmd in effect (for normal use of WU), that needs to be run to be deactivated (then run it again after the build installs so that you can get future WUs).

I didn't deactivate mine, I had assumed this was just a normal CU. Didn't stop it installing though. I have two Dev laptops, one a supported device, the other not. They both started the update together, they're both currently at 83% installed.

So maybe it's working for you, though mine went pretty convincingly too and had me fooled until I rebooted. Not sure why it would work for you though, unless you're saying that you ran the batch that you mentioned today and not just several months ago (when it was last needed) like I had.

But if you reboot right back into Windows, then just deactivate, run the batch, and then WU. It won't need to download again, though for a minute or two it makes you think that it does. The pre-boot install phase still takes forever though.

So maybe it's working for you, though mine went pretty convincingly too and had me fooled until I rebooted. Not sure why it would work for you though, unless you're saying that you ran the batch that you mentioned today and not just several months ago (when it was last needed) like I had.
No, I haven't run anything for a long time. I've been getting CUs without problems for months, and assumed that this was just another CU so I let it go ahead.

The last time I applied any sort of workaround was Brink's Option Three reg fixes back in March. They were still in place for this update.

1753753315834.webp
KB5054148 Windows 11 Insider Dev build 26200.5510 (24H2) - March 24

The feature update completed successfully (I'm typing this on it).

1753755016687.webp

I've just run Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd and it said 'installed', so maybe it wasn't installed after all. But I'd been getting all the CU's, so it must have been installed, surely? Doesn't make sense, but I'm not complaining ;)

--- edit ---

Thinking about it, RTM 24H2 on unsupported devices gets all its CU's without any workarounds. Maybe you just don't need Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update to get Insider CU's after all. I'll uninstall it and see what happens at the next CU.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

Wow, bullet dodged and maybe an interesting discovery made. Yes, if it said "installed" when running it today, it definitely wasn't before, but you haven't had a problem with CUs. Very interesting. Clearly, it certainly used to be needed. What could have possibly changed that equation? I'll deactivate it too and see what happens with the next CU, maybe this week.

BTW, I looked in the registry for the key addition of the Method 3 bat, and it's not there:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\HwReqChk

Which seems to suggest that at least after a build update, HwReqChk is wiped. You probably don't have it either. If so, this would mean that you did run the batch again since the last full build update in March, explaining why you didn't have to run it today but I did.

Not that I really understand why the bat helps WU, since everything I know about it says that it's all about updating from boot or mounted ISO. Not WU.

I have seen that happening before, other users reported that too on Build 26200.5670 when using reinstall with Repair version.
This build 26200.5772 is also a full reinstall, so it could be the same problem.
Although it did not happen to my machines this time.
Go figure, MS inconsistency!
See the FBH report below that was posted by John D. about a month ago.

I have two Dev machines. I saw that on one but not the other. A few updates ago it was the other way round, the one that kept them today lost them, and the one that lost then today kept them - upgrades seem to be a bit flaky these days....
