Insider KB5089414 Windows 11 Insider Experimental (25H2) build 26300.8376 - May 8


UPDATE 5/15:


 Windows Insider Blog:

As a reminder, these release notes apply to those who are in the Experimental channel, formerly known as the Dev Channel. As we begin the transition to the new Windows Insider Program, all new build release notes will be labeled under the new channel names, even though Insiders in the Dev Channel may not yet find themselves having transitioned to Experimental. See the Windows Insider Blog for more details.


Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out

[Touchpad]​

We’re adding new gesturing-related functionality to precision touchpads in Settings. The new features should be widely available across applications, with the exception that WinUI3-based UI requires new WinAppSDK versions for complete functionality - we're in the process of bringing the necessary changes to versions 1.8 and 2.0.
  • Scroll / zoom speed: control the baseline speed for these gestures

  • Automatic scrolling: scrolling continues indefinitely without lifting your fingers. Activate by either bringing your fingers near the edge of the touchpad while scrolling, or holding them still and pressing harder (requires hardware support).

  • Accelerated scrolling: repeatedly scrolling increases the speed, allowing quick traversal of long documents.

  • Single-finger scrolling: perform a vertical scroll with a single finger starting from the left or right side of the touchpad.

Touchpad improvements bring new gesture capabilities.


Touchpad improvements bring new gesture capabilities including automatic scrolling, gesture speed controls, accelerated scrolling, and optional single-finger scrolling support.

[File Explorer]​

We’ve made several updates to improve reliability, readability, and overall usability in File Explorer:
  • Address Bar improvements
    • The address bar now supports paths containing double backslashes and quotation marks (for example, C:\Users\user or "C:\Users\user"), improving compatibility with a wider range of inputs.
    • Improved reliability of the Address Bar suggestion dropdown so it now consistently closes after an item is selected.
  • More readable file size formatting
    • File sizes in the Details view now display using appropriate units (KB, MB, GB) instead of KB-only, making them easier to understand at a glance.

  • Refinements to the rename experience
    • Fixed an issue where text would be repeatedly selected while renaming items in folder views.
    • Fixed an issue where updated names (case-only changes) were not immediately reflected in folder views across local and cloud storage.
  • Improved keyboard navigation of File Explorer context menu in flyouts.
Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Files, Folders, and Online Storage > File Explorer.

[EDU]​

Free upgrade path to Windows 11 Pro Education for K-12

Windows Insiders in K–12 education environments can now experience a seamless upgrade path from Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro Education edition—at no additional cost. This enables educational organizations to procure Windows 11 Home devices, upgrade them to Windows 11 Pro Education, and bring devices under school management.

Instructions:
  • Sign in to the device using a local account
  • Launch an elevated Command Prompt and initiate the upgrade by running Clipupgrade.exe
  • Sign in with your K–12 organization account to validate eligibility
  • The device prepares the upgrade and completes after a restart
Please note: This upgrade is one-way only. Reverting to Windows Home is not supported without a clean OS reinstall.

Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Windows Installation.

[Administrator Protection]​

  • Improved reliability of Japanese IME usage when Administrator Protection is enabled.

[Other]​

  • Fixed a WPN hang in the previous flight, which was leading to notification issues and certain apps hanging on launch.
  • Improved reliability of loading desktop app icon shortcuts.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel

  • Updates are based on Windows 11, version 25H2 via an enablement package (Build 26300.8346).
  • 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 try new features, see the available list of features to toggle on at the Feature flags page under Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program.
  • The desktop watermark shown at the lower right corner of the desktop is normal for Windows Insider pre-release builds.
  • 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.

I notice that there are seven of these now. Does each one correspond to a Vivetool ID? If so, what is the ID for the 4th on this list? It would be useful for anyone stuck on the old screen due to needing to use Offline Insider Enroll, for instance (which continues to work for getting builds but not necessarily getting the new screen).

C:\Users\user is already exist in 26200.8328.

I interpreted their "double backslash" example as a typo. Did you? Because otherwise it's just a normal path, and those have worked for years. Surely they meant:

c:\\Users\\user

Though it's unclear how anyone would come across such a thing in order to paste it.

For example, you might have an UNC path like:
\\?\Volume{af32fd30-43c5-42d2-8918-1deb00d0362e}\EFI

dir can handle this type of path, but Explorer doesn't.

More quality of life improvements are coming to Windows 11! 🎉

The Refresh option is finally being added to all modern File Explorer context menus, previously it only appeared on the desktop one. Hidden in Experimental build 26300.8376.

The print option is also coming to the modern context menu after previously only being accessible in "Show more options", an option to quickly create a shortcut in the current folder is also present in this build.

I already have Refresh option in the context menu (the new) in 26200.8328.
It exist only in Desktop.

Address Bar improvements
  • The address bar now supports paths containing double backslashes and quotation marks (for example, C:\Users\user or "C:\Users\user"), improving compatibility with a wider range of inputs.

I think most people probably wouldn't understand what this is.

For example. In Build 26300.8376, you can copy 螢幕擷取畫面 2026-05-10 042436.webp and paste 螢幕擷取畫面 2026-05-10 042928.webp into the address bar. Even if the path contains the character ", it can correctly navigate to the directory or open the file.

In Build 26200.8328, you can't copy contains the character " of path. It cannot navigate to directories or open files correctly.

Contains the character " of path:
螢幕擷取畫面 2026-05-10 042436.webp

Without the character " of path:
螢幕擷取畫面 2026-05-10 043556.webp
