Insider KB5065797 Windows 11 Insider Dev build 26220.6772 (25H2) - Oct. 6


UPDATE 10/10:


 Windows Insider Blog:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.6772 (KB5065797) 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 features gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*

[Click to Do (Preview)]

The following changes and improvements are rolling out for Click to Do on Copilot+ PCs:

Image Object select in Click to Do:
Image Object select is designed to help you speed up your creative flow and precisely select objects within images. Just hover over your image to preview selectable areas. Once selected, you can easily copy and paste your object into other apps or use it to kick off a chat with Copilot for deeper insights or creative actions.

Unit conversion: We’re introducing the ability to do unit conversion in Click to Do to help you quickly access conversions for number + unit combinations displayed on screen. Currently, we primarily support conversions for length, area, volume, weight, temperature, and speed.
  • When users hover over a number + unit, a floating tooltip appears showing the conversion.
  • When users select the number + unit, the context menu opens with additional conversion options.
  • Users can also access more conversions via the Copilot app (currently supported in Microsoft Copilot. This capability is not yet available for Windows Insiders in the EEA (European Economic Area) or China.

[Windows Hello]

Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security Now Supports Peripheral Fingerprint Sensors: Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS) is expanding to support peripheral fingerprint sensors in Windows 11. Previously, ESS was only available on PCs with built-in biometric sensors, but now Windows 11 PCs, including desktops and Copilot+ PCs, can benefit from the most secure sign-in experience Windows Hello has to offer. Just plug in a supported ESS fingerprint reader, head to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and follow the prompts to enroll.


Settings dialog under Accounts-->Sign-in options, where Additional settings has an option outlined in red for “Enhanced sign-in security” with a button for “Set up”

FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Security and Privacy > Windows Hello Fingerprint.

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

[Windows Setup Experience]

  • Ability to name your default user folder in OOBE: You can now customize the name of your default user folder, “C:\User\<name>”, during set up. To do so, follow these steps:

    • On the Microsoft account sign in page, press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt.
    • Type the following commands: cd oobe press enter and then type SetDefaultUserFolder.cmd <YourFolderName>
    • <YourFolderName> can be 16 characters max.
    • Only Unicode characters are supported and special characters will be removed
    • Proceed with MSA sign-in.
    • The custom folder name will be applied if valid.
    • If not set, Windows will automatically generate a profile folder name from your Microsoft email address.
  • Local-only commands removal: We are removing known mechanisms for creating a local account in the Windows Setup experience (OOBE). While these mechanisms were often used to bypass Microsoft account setup, they also inadvertently skip critical setup screens, potentially causing users to exit OOBE with a device that is not fully configured for use. Users will need to complete OOBE with internet and a Microsoft account, to ensure device is setup correctly.

[File Explorer]

  • Dark Mode: We’ve made improvements to the dark mode experience in File Explorer starting with key actions like copy, move, and delete dialogs. You’ll now see a consistent dark mode experience in:
    • The default and expanded state for copy, move, and delete dialogs
    • Progress bars and chart views
    • Dialogs for confirming states like skip, override, and file selection
    • Multiple confirmation and error dialogs

    The new discover dialog in dark mode.

    The new copy dialog in dark mode.

    The new copy dialog in dark mode.

    The new recycle bin dialog in dark mode.

    The new replace or skip files dialog in dark mode.

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

[General]

  • Fixed an underlying issue which caused multiple features which were rolling out to unexpectedly disappear from some Insider PCs after the previous flight.

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • Fixed an issue after the latest updates where when “automatically hide the taskbar” was enabled sometimes you would still see the system tray peeking up while the taskbar was hidden. Also fixed an issue where it wasn’t hiding anymore when you were on the desktop with all app windows minimized.
  • Fixed a focus related issue when clicking on an app preview thumbnail which could result on it dismissing but the app window not actually coming to the foreground.

[File Explorer]

  • Fixed an issue where Encrypted File System (EFS) related dialogs in File Explorer weren’t responding to increased text scaling.

[Windows Studio Effects]

  • Fixed an issue for some classes of external webcams, where turning on “Use Windows Studio Effects” in the advanced camera setting might result in a camera preview failure. If you were impacted by this known issue in the latest builds, and turned off Windows Studio Effects inside the camera settings to workaround it, you can enable it again now.

[Settings]

  • Fixed an issue causing certain network adapters to show an incorrect link speed

[Other]

  • Fixed an issue impacting the ability to start Hyper-V virtual machines with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on ARM64 devices.
  • Fixed an issue that could affect playback of protected content in certain Blu-ray, DVD, and digital TV apps that used Enhanced Video Rendererwith HDCP enforcement.

Known issues

[Click to Do]

  • Launching Click to Do on your primary display via right-edge gesture will result in the swipe visuals appearing on the incorrect display. The issue is being investigated.

[Lock and login screens]

  • [NEW] The touch keyboard may fail to launch on the login screen. If you encounter this, you can use the on-screen keyboard in the accessibility menu as a workaround.

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • Our new animations on taskbar previews have been turned off temporarily because they were interfering with the ability to share a window from its preview, we will note when they’re brought back.

[Search]

  • Certain searches may show unexpected text instead of the expected results and images.

[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”.

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 26220.xxxx).
  • Many features in the Dev 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 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

Thanks for adding your comment.
Maybe it is this one mentioned in the blogs. 😎🤷‍♂️
This note is on both blogs for 26220.6772 and 26120.6772. The problem is common to both.

All I can say is WOW! This issue had me wrapped around my axles and I was prepping to do a clean install to fix it! I'm very disappointed in MalwareBytes, this kind of protection I do NOT need! I'm glad I was here reading the forum before my reformatting, that was going to happen today!

@gunrunnerjohn I believe as with most software Malwarebytes does not officially support running their software on Insider versions of Windows and only support official current releases of Windows hence the issue I encountered.

I guess it is. Good thing they already are aware of it.
It should be fixed within the next 12-14 months then.

Also, I just contacted Microsoft, and they stated this release is part of the enablement package which I got because I checked off get releases as soon as available, and it was not part of the insiders program.
Based on what I read about the release, It seems highly unlikely that Build 26220.6772 should have been installed on my three Windows computers. The representative was chatting with me for about 20 minutes, and most of the time she was just giving me answers that did not relate to the question I was asking. She just may have given me that answer to terminate the chat.

To verify I left the Windows Release Preview last week, I went back and tried to remove access again and got this message:
"This email address is not registered as a Windows Insider."

We're very sorry that you have encountered an issue with Malwarebytes.

This is only happening to those on Windows Insider Preview edition. Malwarebytes Engineering and Microsoft are both working to resolve this.

You can disable the Exploit Protection module to bypass this issue until resolved.


The Windows Insider Program allows users to test pre-release versions of Windows and provide direct feedback to Microsoft engineers to help shape future updates.

Participants choose a specific channel (Canary, Dev, Beta, or Release Preview) to receive builds of varying stability and feature completeness.

Expect to encounter bugs and potential instability, as this is pre-release software, but you'll also get to see new features before the public.


Thank you for your patience while we work on resolving the issue.

any one else got this bug when searching User in the settings on the latest DEV build?

Yes, but only in Settings search. Start menu search is okay.

I am on windows 11 Insider Program and just installed KB5065797, KB5056862 after the update windows rebooted and it got to the welcome picture but neither my mouse or keyboard would work. So I couldn't enter my pin. In the ASUS bios the mouse and keyboard work. I tried Safe Mode with Networking and the pin box was there but the keyboard and mouse still wouldn't work. I restarted 3 times and windows went into the recovery screen but it couldn't find a fix. So I uninstalled the latest quality update. Windows rebooted fine and started working. But windows automatically downloaded the update and restarted and I got the exact same problem. So the next time I went through the whole thing I immediately went in and paused updates for a week. It seems to me like its a USB controller issue or something as nothing USB related would work at all. Should I wait to see if Microsoft comes out with an update fix?

I don't recall the last time I used Windows Search. There are so many better 3rd party products that I've just never felt the need.
Please can you suggest the alternatives?

I did a search using Gemini as to why I got switched from the preview channel to the developer channel without changing my choice:

Here is an explanation of what happened:

Build 26200.6718 is a Release Preview build. In mid-September 2025, Microsoft released Windows 11 Build 26200.6718 (via KB5065789) to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel. The Release Preview Channel typically receives more stable, pre-release versions of Windows that are very close to a public release.
Build 26220.6772 is a Dev Channel build. Around October 6, 2025, Microsoft announced Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.6772 for the Dev Channel. The Dev Channel is for engineers to test new ideas and features, so these builds are less stable and often carry a higher build number than Release Preview builds.
An automatic upgrade occurred. Even without manually changing your Insider settings, the Windows Update service can move a user to a different Insider channel based on internal configurations set by Microsoft. Your system was likely upgraded from the Release Preview build (26200) to the newer Dev Channel build (26220) as part of this process. The .xxxx number represents a servicing update applied to that specific build. So your system moved from a Release Preview base (26200) to a Dev Channel base (26220) and received the corresponding cumulative update (.6772).

Why this happens
This type of channel change is part of the normal flow for some Insider Program members. Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel receive updates based on Windows 11 version 25H2, and features are often rolled out gradually to a subset of Insiders before reaching everyone in the channel. Your system was in a state where it was directed to receive this next major Dev build, automatically placing it in the newer channel.

To be honest, most of the features in the Dev or Beta channels are included in the public version. In the public version, these features are in an inactive and dormant state. You can even manually activate these features in the public version (Like ViVetool or CFR Registry keys).
