Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 28020.1546 to the Canary Channel (the desktop watermark is showing the wrong build number and will be addressed in a near term build). (KB 5074176)

What’s new in Canary Build 28020.1546​

Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out with toggle on*​

www.elevenforum.com

Enable or Disable Get Latest Updates as soon as available in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off "Get the latest updates as soon as they are available" in Windows 11. Starting with Windows 11 build 22621.1635, Microsoft added a new "Get the latest updates as soon as they are available" toggle under Settings > Windows Update. When you turn...

  • This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes that improve the overall experience for Insiders running this build on their PCs.
  • We fixed an issue with apps when working with files on OneDrive or Dropbox.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel​

  • These builds can be unstable and may be released with limited documentation. Join Windows Insider – Get early access to Windows 11 features & updates
  • The builds we release to the Canary Channel represent the latest platform changes early in the development cycle and should not be seen as matched to any specific release of Windows. 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.
  • Many features in the Canary 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.
  • The desktop watermark shown at the lower right corner of the desktop is normal for Windows Insider pre-release builds.
  • Some features may show up in the Dev and Beta Channels first before showing up in the Canary Channel.
  • 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.
  • To get off the Canary Channel, a clean install of Windows 11 will be required. As a reminder – Insiders can’t switch to a channel that is receiving builds with lower build numbers without doing a clean installation of Windows 11 due to technical setup requirements.
  • Check out Flight Hub for a complete look at what build is in which Insider channel.
Thanks,
Windows Insider Program Team

Yeah..., sorry, I didn't stay on that Build long enough to investigate and report..., I got on the Build, saw a few things that were unacceptable so I bailed right away!

I'm not having any problems with the 2800 Canary build on any of my computers. I just want to keep my computers up to date. If it does cause me any problem I'll do like you and roll back.

The Windows Update Cleanup is not showing up on "System > Storage > Temporary files" but is shows up on Disk Cleanup and can be removed it from there or just using the command:

They did not fix this one either.
File explorer jumping to Desktop when inserting or ejecting a USB drive, same when ejecting a mounted ISO.
And they did not list any known issues on the blog for 28020.1546. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

The same happened to my machines, I updated 4 and they all had long pauses installing at 15% or 24%, but eventually they completed.
If I exited setting and go back in to checking for updates the % showed some increase, but not significant.
All 4 are now completed, up and running at 28020.1546. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️
