Insider KB5065789 Windows 11 Insider Release Preview build 26100.6725 (24H2) and 26200.6725 (25H2) - Sep. 29


UPDATE 10/21:


 Windows Insider Blog:

[UPDATE 9/17] We are releasing Builds 26100.6718 and 26200.6718 (KB5065789) today which is a small update that includes some additional changes noted in the updated blog post below.

Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing Windows 11 Builds 26100.6713 and 26200.6713 (KB5065789) to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel on Windows 11, version 24H2 (Build 26100) and version 25H2 (Build 26200).

Below is a summary of the new features and improvements included as part of this update separated into two sections: gradual rollout and normal rollout. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change we are documenting.

Gradual rollout

The following features and improvements might not be available to all users because they will roll out gradually. Text bolded in brackets indicate the area of the change being documented. Please note that features and improvements that gradually roll out may not begin rolling out right away nor will they immediately show up right away.
  • [Click to Do]
    • New! Click to Do can now detect tables. You can now highlight any simple table and send it to Excel, copy or share it. With a table in any application, you can press Win + Click to invoke Click to Do, or Win + Q or right swipe and tap to select the table. Once selected, you’ll see the actions you can take like Convert to table with Excel. Just click, capture and continue. This is available on Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, with support for AMD and Intel-powered Copilot+ PCs coming soon. You’ll need the latest Microsoft Excel application installed on your PC to see Convert to table with Excel and a Microsoft 365 Subscription. This change is not yet rolling out to Windows Insiders in the EEA (European Economic Area). [UPDATE 9/17] This feature will roll out in a future update.

    • New! New and popular action tags in the Click to Do context menu help you discover the latest and most widely used AI-powered actions.
    • New! Click to Do now provides more concise summaries with the Summarize action. The output for text entities is shorter and more focused. Ongoing improvements continue to enhance clarity and precision.
  • [Agents in Settings] New! A direct navigation link to the corresponding settings page is now available from agent search results. This improvement is currently rolling out to agents in Settings on Copilot+ PCs.

  • [Desktop] New! You can now move the hardware indicators for brightness, volume, airplane mode, and virtual desktops to different positions on your screen. To change their position, go to Settings > System > Notifications, and then pick from the options in the Position of the onscreen pop-up in the dropdown list.

  • [Taskbar] New! IT administrators no longer need to restart explorer.exe to apply the pinning policy. After applying the policy, users might see a pin on their taskbar within approximately 8 hours, depending on the refresh interval.

  • [Notification Center] [ADDED 10/2] New! The Notification Center functionality is now available on secondary monitors. To open it, select the date and time in the system tray on the taskbar. With the August 2025 non-security update (KB5064081), you can also show a larger clock with seconds above the calendar.

  • [File Explorer]
    • New! Use AI actions in File Explorer to edit images or summarize documents. Just right click (or press Shift +F10) on the file and select AI actions. This experience is not yet available for customers in the EEA (European Economic Area).

      • Image actions: You can now use four AI-powered image actions with .jpg, .jpeg, and .png files. Visual Search searches the web using an image instead of text. Blur Background opens the Photos app to highlight the subject and blur the background. Erase Objects removes unwanted elements from your photo. Remove Background uses Paint to change any image leaving a smooth cut out the subject.
      • AI actions in Microsoft 365 make it easier to work with your documents. With the Summarize action in Copilot, you can quickly generate summaries of files stored in OneDrive and SharePoint—no need to open each one. This AI action requires an active Microsoft 365 subscription and a Copilot license (Microsoft account and Microsoft Entra ID supported).
    • Improved: The File Explorer context menu has been updated to remove the accent colored backplate behind packaged app icons in the Open With list when right clicking a file (for example, for Snipping Tool). In doing this, the icons should be easier to see now.
    • Improved: Made underlying changes to help improve the performance of launching cloud files from File Explorer and loading context menus.
    • Fixed: Icons and text may become overlapping on the desktop when using increased text scaling.
    • Fixed: Icons in the details, preview, and navigation panes of File Explorer aren’t properly mirrored when using an Arabic or Hebrew display language.
  • [Windows Share] New! You can pin your favorite apps in the Windows share window to quickly access them when you need them.

  • [Emoji] New! The Emoji 16.0 release includes a small but meaningful set of new emoji— Face with Bags Under Eyes, Fingerprint, Root Vegetable, Leafless Tree, Harp, Shovel, and Splatter. These new emoji are designed to resonate across cultures and contexts. You’ll find them in the emoji panel starting with this build. [UPDATE 9/29] This feature will roll out in a future update.

  • [Advanced Settings] New! The redesigned Advanced settings page (Settings > System > Advanced) is an update of the For Developers page and makes it easier to find key options. Settings include File Explorer + version control, which shows Git details such as branch, diff count, and last commit message directly in File Explorer when you select a repository folder.

  • [Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR)] New! Auto SR on Snapdragon®-powered Copilot+ PCs helps gamers improve visual quality with minimal effort through simplified settings. When a supported game is launched, Windows displays a notification that allows users to turn on Auto SR with a single click. The feature is now easier to find and manage in Graphics settings, and future updates might enable users to turn on Auto SR directly from the Game Bar during gameplay. [UPDATE 9/29] This feature will roll out in a future update.

  • [Input]
    • New! Insert dashes with new keyboard shortcuts. You can quickly insert an en dash (–) or em dash (—) while typing. Press Windows logo key + Minus (-) to insert an en dash, and Windows logo key + Shift + Minus (-) to insert an em dash. If Magnifier is running, Windows logo key + hyphen (-) will zoom out Magnifier instead of inserting an en dash.

    • Fixed: After waking a PC from sleep, touch input may not work to enter your pin on the login screen.
  • [Narrator]
    • New! Narrator now includes Braille Viewer, which shows both on-screen text and its Braille equivalent on a refreshable Braille display. To open Braille viewer and start Narrator, press the Windows logo key + Ctrl + Enter, press Narrator key + Alt + B. A new floating window opens and updates dynamically as you navigate with Narrator. Before using Braille viewer, you must set up Narrator for Braille. To download and install the Braille support package, go to Settings > Accessibility > Narrator > Use a Braille display with Narrator.

    • New! Narrator now offers a smoother, more natural experience in Word, with improved voice feedback, reliable continuous reading, and better navigation for footnotes, comments, lists, and tables. Enhancements include consistent list announcements, clearer table boundaries, and intuitive selection feedback.
  • [Administrator Protection Preview] Administrator protection aims to protect free floating admin rights for administrator users allowing them to still perform all admin functions with just-in-time admin privileges. This feature is off by default and needs to be enabled via Windows Security under Account protection or via group policy. [UPDATE 9/16] The ability to enable this via Windows Security under Account protection is coming in a later update. [UPDATE 9/30] This feature will roll out in a future update.

  • [Passkeys] New! A seamless plugin passkey provider integration in Windows 11. You can now use plugin credential manager for passkeys. To set up a plugin credential manager, go to Settings > Accounts > Passkeys > Advanced options. Turn on support and complete user verification using Windows Hello (through face recognition, fingerprint, or PIN). Once verified, you can use your existing passkeys saved to the plugin credential manager or save new passkeys.

  • [Settings]
    • New! The Manage or clear your Bing search history entry under Settings > Privacy & security > Search > Search history has been removed. You can now manage your Bing search history directly from the Privacy dashboard, accessible via the Privacy resources link under Related settings on that Settings page.

    • New! More time, language, and keyboard settings have moved from Control Panel to Settings. You can now add additional clocks, change your time server, and customize date and time formatting—including AM/PM symbols—directly from Settings > Time & language > Date & time. Number and currency formats, Unicode UTF-8 support, and options to copy language and region settings to other accounts are now under Settings > Time & language > Language & region. Keyboard character repeat and cursor blink rate settings are now easier to find under Settings > Accessibility.
    • Improved: Made underlying changes to help improve the performance of loading the apps list in Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
    • Fixed: Settings > System > Storage > Disks and Volumes might show a link for BitLocker drive encryption in unsupported cases. Clicking it results in BitLocker opening and displaying error 0x80004005.
  • [Gaming]
    • New! Xbox controller support for gaming on Windows 11 has been improved. Short pressing the Xbox button opens Game Bar. A new change we’re introducing is when you long press the Xbox button, it will open Task View. Pressing and holding the Xbox button continues to turn off the game controller.

    • Improved: Made some underlying changes to help improve performance when gaming with Game Bar or other overlays on top of your game. This may particularly help those with multiple monitors which have different refresh rates.
  • [Other] New! Several dialogs, including the one that appears when an app fails to open, have been modernized with WinUI 3 and match the visuals for Windows 11.
  • [Dynamic Lighting] Fixed: The Dynamic Lighting Background Controller may occasionally consume excessive CPU after unlocking your PC.
  • [Voice Access] Fixed: Voice Access may get stuck in a state where it says it’s listening but is stuck and doesn’t respond.
  • [Windows Hello] Fixed: You may unexpectedly see a message saying “Something happened and your PIN isn’t available” when attempting to enter safe mode.
  • [Windows Sandbox] Fixed: When Windows Sandbox is enabled, the VmmemCmFirstBoot process may consume large amounts of CPU after login, causing your PC to become unresponsive.
  • [HDR] Fixed: HDR may unexpectedly immediately turn off after being enabled in Settings.
  • [Quick Settings]: Fixed: If you had to enter a PIN for your device to cast from Quick Settings, pressing Enter wouldn’t confirm the PIN.

Normal rollout

This update includes the following features and improvements that are rolling out as part of this update. Text bolded in brackets indicates the area of the change being documented.
  • [Input]
    • Fixed: An issue where some characters didn’t display correctly when using the Chinese Input Method Editor (IME).
    • Fixed: This update addresses an issue where certain Chinese characters appeared as empty boxes in some text fields, such as those used in Connection Manager Administration Kit, when a character limit was set.
  • [Servicing] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that disrupted Windows Update for customers using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
  • [Windows Hello] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects Windows Hello PIN setup with error 0x80090010 on devices joined to Microsoft Entra ID domains after installing Windows updates released on or after KB5060842.
The following fixes were added on 9/17:
  • [Media] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects playback of protected content in certain Blu-ray, DVD, and digital TV apps. This can occur after installing KB5064081.
  • [Performance] Improved: Added support for Certificate Revocation List (CRL) partitioning in Windows Certificate Authorities.
  • [Battery] Fixed: The battery icon in the taskbar may not display a charging state even though your PC is charging.
  • [Settings] Fixed: Settings may crash when attempting to access drive information under Settings > System > Storage. This also impacts trying to launch these pages from File Explorer drive properties.
  • [Windows Update] Fixed: Some Insiders see error 0x80070002 when attempting to install the build.
Thanks,

    Great New system. Exceeds my expectations by quite a bit, btw. I love the USB G8 SoundBlaster, it's quite an improvement over the G6!
I have deactivated fingerprint to prevent this problem. Can I activate it again? It uses Goodix driver.
You should be able to do it. I don't see why not.

I think I will download ISO from scratch and upgrade because for some reason I can't solve this problem at the moment. I don't want to format it because I just formatted it and installing many applications and other components is very long and problematic.

You should be able to do it. I don't see why not.
In safe mode, Windows does not load Goodix driver.

Haha... That's funny because I used "does" for "Windows" in a TOEFL exam, and I lost one point! They said Windows is a plural name :)))) Now come and explain that Windows is the name of a Microsoft product, and although it ends with an ‘s’, it is considered a singular word. Anyway, thank you.

Who else found out that after this update Task Manager changed the way of representing CPU load? Mine goes to 0% frequently now, showing most of the processes idling at 0% once in 4-5 seconds. I'm not glitching, i'm using task manager on a constant basis, first time i see such a behavior on my PC.

Checked RAM latency in AIDA (which is sensitive to idle system load) - no changes. Meaning it's not that Windows learned how to fully "shut down" the processes completely at idle, but rather changed the way of representing and averaging the CPU load.

Dowloaded 25H2 from scratch and backed up and deleted 26100.6584.

Disabled Bit Locker with Reg edit change during installation on C Drive with "Shift / F10 , then found after installation complete ,D E F drives Bit locked with no access to anything , inc my backup files & folders .!!

Rufus option to disable installer Bit Lock process did not seem to appear.

Perhaps a MSoft fix is pending to save modifying future installers with "manage-bde" option during installation , for multiple drive protection from BitLock incursion change , after installation complete ?

Comments ,please ?

Yup, that's normal now and matches the CPU Usage that utility apps like HWINFO and AIDA64 use. The old CPU Utility that Task Manager use to use actually went well above 100 percent but was artificially capped at 100% in Task manager. For example if you viewed it using HWINFO the old CPU Utility (old Task Manger CPU) on my intel Core Ultra 9 CPU would actually go to 203% when the CPU was under full load. CPU Usage goes from 0 - 100% while CPU Utility goes from 1 - 203%. Thus they switched over to the easier to understand CPU Usage meter from the CPU Utility meter.

Haha... That's funny because I used "does" for "Windows" in a TOEFL exam, and I lost one point! They said Windows is a plural name :)))) Now come and explain that Windows is the name of a Microsoft product, and although it ends with an ‘s’, it is considered a singular word. Anyway, thank you.
In Hebrew it's female.

I think the old CPU isn't capped anymore. I get over 100% idle time.

Thanks for letting me now. I personally had a normal scale to 100% usage before... but still i didn't have that 0% CPU usage showing even once. Perhaps, it's a preview update, sometimes they test some weird stuff. This is quite a serious change not to be announced officially, so maybe they're just testing something and will revert it later.

I remember seeing it being announced in previous insider builds, (Beta and Dev I believe). But don't forgot in task manager it was artificially capped at 100%. You'd have to use something like HWINFO to see the actual usage percent at full CPU load. In my I7 CPU it was like 164% and in the Core Ultra 9 it's about 203%. Task Manager would only show 100% not the actual numbers.

Yes, my manager always showed 100% max, so now it seems to be artificial. However to me previous version seemed to be more realistic. Like... now 90% of the processes show 0% most of the time which I believe is not realistic. For example previously NVIDIA processes were consuming around 0.1% to 0.3% CPU, now it just shows 0% and then sometimes spikes to 1-2% then again to 0%. Anyway, it's not something that actually matters and doesn't affect real CPU usage. And thanks for letting me know it was announced in some previous insiders builds. Still surprising to see it lowkey implemented in some preliminary update.

I got that on Beta,Dev and Canary, but not R.P. 🤷‍♂️
