Insider KB5095088 Windows 11 Insider Experimental (26H2) build 26300.8758 - June 26



 Windows Insider Blog:

Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out

[Taskbar]​

  • Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience.

  • We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience.

[File Explorer]​

  • We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance.
  • Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode.
  • Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file.

[Sounds]​

  • Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel

  • Many features are rolled out using Controlled Feature Rollout technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time. 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 might never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features might 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 might 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.

The official iso is 8697 so I'm building the UUP Dump iso right now which I will install from once completed.

Edit: The UUP Dump iso is flawed so I installed 8697.

I noticed the Microsoft ISO download is for 8697, not 8758. But I guess that 8758 is only one CU away after installing 8697 (26H2) build. The Microsoft ISO download site ID's 8697 as 8758 25H2, I noticed.

Great New system. Exceeds my expectations by quite a bit, btw. I love the USB G8 SoundBlaster, it's quite an improvement over the G6!
After installing 8697 WU will not pick up on 8758 so I'm redownloading 8758 from UUP Dump. Maybe they were just having a bad day when I did it the first time.

All recent Microsoft ISO files have the same bug. When you hit "Repair my PC" they reboot to the main OS instead of showing the recovery menus. 🤬🤷‍♂️

I checked my backups, and I CU'ed from 8697 to 8758 without difficulty, through WU. Interesting that you are having a problem moving to 8758. I also CU'ed to 8697, too--it's been awhile since I've worked with a full ISO install package, either from Microsoft or UUP dump. I wonder if your problem is that something in the 8697 ISO that isn't prompting the 26H2 upgrade. I have the 8697 ISO from Windows Insider's, too, but I keep it only in case of emergency.
