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

blacklord049 · Jul 29, 2025

Successfully installed on a non-compatible machine (our laptop with an Intel i5 7500)

Seems pretty stable so far :)

No issue with the pinned items in the taskbar.

EDIT: it kinda messed up the Synaptics Driver (or just the scroll itself). Scrolling is not working in apps like Explorer, Device Manager, old Control Panel..., but working in my web browser (Firefox) or in Settings. This issue wasn't on the build 5710 though.

A good result for unsupported HW on a full-install build. As mentioned back on the first page, there's some question about what's actually needed to WU going forward. It used to be that Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd was important, but it might only not be needed now, it might actually cause problems. I won't know until the next CU. What do you use normally to get WU?

Even on my mini PC the same result icons disappeared in the taskbar

Sounds like a new kind of normal... A lot people are having this problem!

I used it as usual.

Task manager - performance doesn't works.

Slow and tedious.

Definitely, especially on HDD.

Same thing. I'm using Process Lasso for now.

No problem here.

Scott · Jul 30, 2025

No problem with Performance here either.

nic2024 · Jul 30, 2025

Not for me, and CPU in progress all 0%, details all blank.

Bonus round: how to get the App History section in Task Manager to remember its data.

Working fine for me - running on an EXTERNAL NVME (SSD type) ->USB3 adapter using vhdx physical files on an old 8GB RAM i5 Gen6 CPU HP envy laptop (officially not supported) although it does have a tpm. No problems encountered.It's even possible to get a decently performing HYPER-V Linux VM running on it too --!! The laptop itself only has a 256GB internal SSD so using the external NVME device (2TB) where I've got several Windows releases / versions in it works perfectly. For backup I just copy the vhdx files !! No need for Macrium or any other specific backup software for the OS.

BTW to quickly create a WindowstoGO system from your existing OS - you don't need Hasleo or any paid for utilities -
just do the following (It helps though to keep the OS small - have user data / multi-media etc on different disks / partitions so you can restrict the OS to around 70GB -- that's plenty for a few apps like photoshop and Ms Office plus enough if doing a Windows update on the WindowstoGO system.

Note though -- After cloning and before booting "Poodlefake" the OS into thinking it's NOT a Windowstogo system by setting this reg key to '0'. That way you can use regular windows upates to new builds wtc and copy the system back to an internal drive - otherwise the system thinks your internal drive is a windowstogo system which yields all sorts of problems.

so
1) Create EFI partition on the external device plus a windows partition for your OS -- using here std windows partition not vhdx for example. Use a Windows install stick and boot -->repair system-->command mode --> diskpart to create the efi partition and the windows partition.

2) Use any cloning software to copy just the Windows partition - not the EFI one - to the device -- the bootable macrium (the last free one is fine - still available from majorgeeks website) or anything else -- e.g gparted and use dd to copy the partition.

3) boot the windows install stick again and create the bootloader -- assign say the EFI partition to S and the windows partition to W (in Diskpart) then exit but stay in command mode. Simply run in command mode cd f:\windows\system32 cd f:\ bcdboot f:\windows /s S: /f UEFI

4) boot your Windowstogo system

5) change the value of PortableOperatingSystem regkey to 0

6) reboot and enjoy your windows to go system.

(there are other ways to do this but I've found this the easiest way to get it to work seamlessly).

Cheers
jimbo

@Scott I am very impressed with your CPU cores/threads and a little bit jealous of how tremendous its performance power might be.

suatcini54 · Jul 30, 2025

@nic2024 A second restart may put your system in order and bring Task Manager back to life. Just a thought.

jimbo45 · Jul 30, 2025

@Scott

It runs very well even on this lowly theoretically unsupported laptop with only 8GB RAM and running from an external NVME->usb3 device as a Windowstogo from a physical vhdx file so on decent hardware it should run very nicely indeed -- Ms might be finally getting its act together !!!

I'm on this Windows release

performance (don't forget this is running on an external Windowstogo device (Nvme ssd type-->usb3 connection) too.Can't complain.

I think performance wise this is one of the best releases yet -- OK nothing stunningly different app wise but who cares - I want the OS to work as decently as possible first !!! - Not sure if because I'm using Enterprise rather than W11 Pro that it makes a lot of difference on this laptop -- OK less bloat -- and on modern hardware W11 Enterprise and W11 pro for workstations will support more CPU's / have more threads / cores etc etc but you need good hardware to get that improvement though.

Cheers

Tried, no luck.

Not big deal wait next update.

About the scrolling issue, a topic is opened here as well:

Specifically two-finger scrolling, Working sporadically for me on 64-bit. Works in some applications - Word, Firefox. Not in others - iTunes, Quicken. Works in right-hand side of Windows Explorer, but not left (the file tree).

ETA: Two-finger scrolling is not working in Outlook, either scrolling through the Inbox or through an open message.

Yes, I've rebooted.

Updated 3 machines, pretty slow on all 3.

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....

Did I say 2? I forgot that I also had Dev on my unsupported System Four. Its poor little Celeron N2930 is really not up to doing feature updates, took a painfully slow five and a half hours. I had long ago given up trying to use Canary on it - life's just too short....

My other two Insider test machines have just done today's Canary feature update. The supported one with its modest Pentium Silver N5030 took a more reasonable couple of hours, with the unsupported one's 1st gen i5 520M not far behind.

It's now 2 out of 3 that have lost the pinned apps from their taskbar...

...and that too - made doubly awkward as I'd set Performance as my default.

Had weird crashes yesterday, don't know if it's my laptop itself that went nuts or Windows that caused the crashes. The PC was in sleep mode and when my wife woke it, it started to reboot in a loop. The battery was low but charger was plugged in so I don't think it's related, really. Sometimes it went to the logon screen, sometimes the reboot was triggered much sooner. At first it looks like an hardware issue. I removed the battery and tried some sort of "cold" boot but the reboot still occurred, until I got to the UEFI setup, wait for a while, then boot on the Windows Boot Manager and... tada. I don't understand what happened. Hope my computer isn't slowly dying but after more than 8 years of service I won't be totally surprised.

[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.
