Insider KB5079483 Windows 11 Insider Dev build 26300.8085 (25H2) - March 20

UPDATE 3/30:



Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26300.8085 (KB 5079483) to the Dev Channel.

Changes in Dev Channel builds and updates are documented in two buckets: new features, and improvements (including notable 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, and improvements (including notable fixes) rolling out to everyone in the Dev Channel. For more information, see the Reminders section at the bottom of this blog.

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

[Pointer Indicator: Accessibility setting for low vision Windows users]​

We are resuming the rollout of the Point Indicator Accessibility setting. This feature enables low vision users on Windows to easily locate and use their cursor to increase productivity and efficiency when using a Windows device.

To enable this experience, go to Settings > Accessibility > Mouse pointer and touch and enable the Pointer indicator setting. You can also search for the setting by name. When the setting is enabled, you can toggle it on/off with the keyboard shortcut, Win + Ctrl + Shift + X.

We welcome your feedback about the cursor and crosshair experience with this accessibility setting.

FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Accessibility Settings.

[Windows Magnifier]​

• Windows magnifier can now magnify protected content.

[Network and Sharing]​

• We fixed an issue where the Network and Sharing Center could incorrectly display two active Wi-Fi connections after switching from one Wi-Fi network to another. The Network and Sharing Center now correctly reflects a single active Wi-Fi connection when you connect to a new network.

[Input]​

• Improved explorer.exe reliability when closing the input flyout.
• Improved reliability of configuring fluid dictation option in voice typing (Windows key plus H) settings.

[Feedback Hub]​

Introducing the new Feedback Hub, bringing a refreshed, modernized experience.


The new Feedback Hub home page where you can file suggestions, problems or compliments.

What’s new in Feedback Hub

• Simpler feedback submission flow: Feedback is now submitted using a single unified template, with the added ability to search categories. The feedback form itself has been modernized enabling for faster iteration and future improvements.
• Simpler navigation: My Feedback now lives directly in the navigation pane, and Community feedback (formerly All feedback) makes it easier to discover and engage with feedback from others. The Announcements page has been removed to focus more on giving and exploring feedback. You can still find announcements on the Windows Insider Blog.
• New compliment feedback type: Call out what’s working well.
• Private or public feedback: Choose whether your feedback is visible to the Insider community.
• New focused feedback experience: a new smaller Feedback Hub surface, making it easier to provide quick, in-the-moment feedback. You can expand to the full Feedback Hub experience by pressing the button in the upper right corner.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel​

• Updates are based on Windows 11, version 25H2 via an enablement package (Build 26300.8085).
• 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.
• The desktop watermark shown at the lower right corner of the desktop is normal for Windows Insider pre-release builds.
• 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
