Insider KB5074157 Windows 11 Insider Beta build 26220.7653 (25H2) - Jan. 16


UPDATE 1/27:


 Windows Insider Blog:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7653 (KB5074157) to the Beta Channel.

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.


Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out with toggle on*

[Account Settings]

We’re updating the design of dialogs in “Accounts > Other Users” based on modern WinUI framework with support for dark mode:

Old 'Add account' dialog user experience for work or school users.
Old ‘Add account’ dialog user experience for work or school users.

New 'Add account' dialog user experience for work or school users.
New ‘Add account’ dialog user experience for work or school users.

Please note that the visibility of the above dialog option depends on whether a domain joined work or school account is configured on the device.

Old 'Change account type' dialog user experience for other users present on the device.
Old ‘Change account type’ dialog user experience for other users present on the device.

New 'Change account type' dialog user experience for other users present on the device.
New ‘Change account type’ dialog user experience for other users present on the device.

Feedback: Please share your feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under “Settings -> User Profile Account Settings.

[Click to Do]

The Copilot prompt suggestions in Click to Do will now load instantly. This change is not yet rolling out to Windows Insiders in the EEA (European Economic Area) or China.

[Desktop Background]

  • You can now set .webp images for your desktop background in Settings > Personalization > Desktop Background.

Fixes gradually being rolled out with toggle on*

[Taskbar and System Tray]

  • Fixed an issue in the latest builds where, when the taskbar was set to autohide, it might invoke before interacting with the bottom of the screen, blocking the use of apps in that area.
  • Fixed a recent issue which was causing the Start menu, notification center, and quick settings to not open on click sometimes, although using the keyboard shortcuts for each of these still worked.

[Start menu]

  • Fixed a memory leak when opening the Start menu, which could lead to performance issues over time.
  • Fixed an issue for Arabic and Hebrew users, where Start menu was opening on the wrong side of the screen when the taskbar icons weren’t centered.
  • Fixed an issue where if you opened a folder of pinned apps in Start menu and tried to pan it with touch, it would dismiss Start menu.

[Bluetooth]

  • Fixed an issue causing Bluetooth device battery level to not show for some Insiders after the latest builds, even though the devices supported it.

[Xbox full screen experience for PC]

  • This build fixes some unexpected app and game behavior when using FSE. We’re continuing to validate scenarios and as such keeping the known issue active for now. Thank you Insiders that have been sharing feedback!

[Login and Lock Screens]

  • Fixed an issue which could cause the password icon to appear blank on the login screen.

[Settings]

  • Fixed an issue causing Settings to crash when interacting with audio devices in the last two builds.
  • Fixed an issue where the keyboard character repeat delay in Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Keyboard was backwards from how it was set in the backend.

[Other]

  • Fixed a few issues with clipped text in msinfo32 when using a high display scaling.
  • Fixed an issue impacting some Insiders where clicking on .appinstaller files to install MSIX packages was unexpectedly failing with an invalid argument error.
  • Fixed an underlying issue which was causing Notepad to not display an underscore in text with certain fonts when your display was set to 125%.
  • Fixed an underlying issue which could cause explorer.exe to hang when first logging into your PC, if certain apps were configured as startup apps. This could make the taskbar not appear.

Known issues

[Xbox full screen experience for PC]

  • Some apps may behave unexpectedly when using FSE, particularly those that expect to be locked to a given size or launch additional windows.

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • We’re investigating an issue where for some Insiders apps aren’t showing in the system tray when they should be.

[Display & Graphics]

  • [NEW] We’re working on the fix for an issue causing secondary monitors to not display correctly and show black screens after the latest updates for a small number of Insiders.

[Click to Do]

  • We’re working on the fix for an issue where the Microsoft 365 Copilot prompt box on selected images does not function if the Microsoft 365 Copilot app is not running.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Dev & Beta Channels

  • Updates are based on Windows 11, version 25H2 via an enablement package (Build 26220.xxxx).
  • Many features 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 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.
  • Check out Flight Hub for a complete look at what build is in which Insider channel.
Thanks,
Windows Insider Program Team

Another machine showed 6 reclaimable and went down to the usual 2 after cleanup.
No idea why one with 5 and one with 6. 🤷‍♂️

Update went smoothly. In addition, I was able to switch from the Dev channel back to the BETA channel with no issues.

DISM cleanup reduced my package store nearly in half from 16GB to a bit over 8GB. Leaving the two remaining packages alone based on prior experience with updates failing after cleaning them.

Got it. So far so good. Annoying issue with ejecting removable storage in explorer (switching explorer to desktop folder on ejecting) is finally fixed. New Run Dialog works fine now win both "run" from start menu and Win+R Flyouts works so far but cant confirm until monday when i am in office using multimonitor setup, as it was happening then mostly. Will update when i try.

Finally, I hope they propagate the fix to next Dev Build too. 😂
They still did not fix the file explorer white and black flashes. 🤬😝

I have no issues with flashbangs, but cant confirm as i am using StartAllBack where issue never appeared for me.
I'm not using StartAllBack.
The problem is quite easy to reproduce but Microsoft is ignoring or does not understand the FBH reports and how to reproduce the behavior.
White flash while in Dark mode or black flash while in Light mode. 🤣🤣

Thats super annoying, thankfully i am using StartAllBack and have no such an issue.... But is shame that MS is still ignoring this issue. will be interested if someone can report the status on this build. But if you are on this build then its clearly not fixed, which is a shame.

UPDATE: Issue with flyouts still happens even on single monitor setup. But still it may be StartAllBack issue, can someone confirm the issue withoutusing StartAllBack please? :unsure: :rolleyes: :(
