Insider KB5120998 Windows 11 Insider Release Preview build 26100.9267 (24H2) and 26200.9267 (25H2) - Aug. 14



 Windows Insider Blog:

These release notes are for Windows 11 Builds 26100.9267 and 26200.9267 (KB5120998) in the Release Preview Channel on Windows 11, versions 24H2 (Build 26100) and 25H2 (Build 26200).

This update is available through two release phases: gradual rollout and normal rollout. A gradual rollout delivers an update in phases, so features reach devices over time instead of all at once, meaning availability varies by device. A normal rollout is the broad release to all eligible devices at the same time, usually when it reaches general availability (GA).

Gradual rollout​

This section highlights some new features and enhancements for Windows 11 PCs, including AI-powered capabilities, continuous innovation, and performance improvements.
  • [Taskbar] This update gives you more ways to customize the taskbar to match how you work and make better use of screen space.
    • New! You can now choose whether the taskbar appears at the bottom, top, left, or right side of your screen. In these other positions, tooltips, flyouts, and animations still come from the taskbar, and most customization settings, such as never combining taskbar icons, work with all locations. The search box and smaller taskbar are currently supported only for top and bottom positions. To change the position of the taskbar, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors > Taskbar position.

    • New! A smaller taskbar option is now available to help maximize screen space on smaller devices.

Guessing it's a work in progress.....

Here's what AI says:

Microsoft is testing a modernized, WinUI 3-based standalone Print Management app alongside the new Windows Ready Print (WRP) framework in recent Windows 11 Insider preview builds (version 26H2). [1, 2]

Modernized WinUI 3 Print Management App
    • New Interface: Replaces the decades-old Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in with a native, standalone Windows application.
    • Modern Design: Features native Windows 11 design elements, including dark mode support, collapsible sidebars, customizable columns, and updated context menus.
    • Coexistence: The new app currently sits alongside the legacy administrative tool while Microsoft phases out older utility code. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Windows Ready Print (WRP) Integration
    • Driverless Focus: The update ties into Microsoft's rollout of Windows Ready Print, which shifts printer management away from legacy third-party manufacturer drivers toward standardized Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) inbox drivers. [1]
    • Default Behavior: Newly installed compatible printers default to the WRP framework, though users and IT administrators can toggle or override this behavior via Settings or Group Policy

Also concerning Print management:

The blank main panel you are seeing is a known bug in early versions of the new WinUI 3 Print Management app. Because it is an unfinished preview build feature, it has a flawed integration with the Windows package management system. [1, 2]
The application strictly requires elevated permissions to pull data from your printer infrastructure, but its underlying CBS package manifest is broken and prevents it from executing the UAC elevation routine natively. When launched without a clean elevation pathway, the modern UI elements render, but the main dashboard panel remains empty or failed to load.

On this R.P. machine, I don't see the false notification to turn on Defender anymore. It was still doing that before latest update.
Same entries as before in this Registry MpEngine. Now defender shows correctly it is turned on.🤞🤷‍♂️

The process stinks. The gradual rollouts make it really hard to get excited about the fixes and enhancements because you literally don't know what you're gonna get and when you're gonna get it. The lack of consistency and transparency on timing is frustrating as hell.
