Insider Windows 11 Insider Canary build 26200.5001 (24H2) - April 19


UPDATE 5/08:


 Windows Blogs:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200 to the Canary Channel.

(Note the .5001 after the build number does not mean anything relevant to Windows Insiders and we will continue to use the primary build number for these flight blog posts.)

With the Canary Channel moving to a higher build number, the window closes on being able to switch to the Dev Channel without doing a clean-install of Windows. If you haven’t switched channels yet, you can still do so BEFORE taking Build 26200.


Developers, please note that for a short period of time, we will not be releasing a SDK for builds we flight to the Canary Channel.

Changes and Improvements

[General]

  • [REMINDER] As we’ve been mentioning previously that would happen, the build watermark at the lower right-hand corner of the desktop has returned.

[Widgets]

  • We are also making some improvements to the Widgets button on the taskbar so that the icons on the taskbar are clearer and we are rolling out a larger set of animated icons too.
  • As part of the Widgets board improvements that we began rolling out with Build 26090 a few weeks ago (which are now also rolling out to Insiders in the Dev Channel), we are introducing the ability for developers to send notifications to the taskbar button with their custom dashboards for the Widgets board. Developers can check out this documentation on how to implement this capability with their Widgets dashboards. To manage notifications from multiple dashboards, Widgets is also providing more granular control over what content shows on the Widgets button on the taskbar. You can go to Widgets Settings > Notifications and enable or disable taskbar notifications from individual dashboards. NOTE: These changes are only initially available to Windows Insiders in the European Economic Area (EEA).

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • After trying out a different design for the energy saver icon in system tray a few months ago for PCs that are plugged in and do not have batteries (such as desktop PCs), we reverted the design back to the leaf icon a few builds ago. (This change is also present in Build 26100.)

Fixes for known issues

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • Fixed an issue that caused a dead zone you couldn’t click inside of next to the notification center.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the page icons in quick settings to not work in secondary settings pages.
  • Fixed an issue where keyboard focus wasn’t shifting to the top item of the new page correctly after switching pages in quick settings.

[Input]

  • Fixed a tabtip.exe crash, which could impact the ability to input text.

[Windowing]

  • Fixed an issue which could cause RemoteApp windows to get cut off when using 200% scaling.

[Multiple Desktops]

  • Fixed an issue where the option to set a different wallpaper on each desktop wasn’t working.

Known issues

[General]

  • [IMPORTANT NOTE] We are investigating reports that some Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels are stuck on Build 26040 or Build 23620. The investigation is ongoing, however if you are impacted by this and really want to get onto the latest build in the Canary or Dev Channel today – you can download the latest ISO here and do a clean install and opt your device back into flighting in the Canary or Dev Channels.

[Copilot in Windows*]

  • [NEW] We are aware of reports by Insiders in the Canary, Dev, and Beta Channels that Copilot is auto-launching unexpectedly after restarting their PCs. We hope to have a fix for this issue soon and is unrelated to the auto-launching experience we tried out with Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels in early February which we stopped rolling out in March.
  • Voice access does not work reliably with the updated Copilot in Windows experience that introduces the ability for Copilot to act like a normal application.
  • Using Windows Ink to write in Copilot will not work with the updated Copilot in Windows experience that introduces the ability for Copilot to act like a normal application window.

Reminders for Windows Insiders

  • The builds we release to the Canary Channel should not be seen as matched to any specific release of Windows and 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.
  • 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.
  • The desktop watermark shown at the lower right corner of the desktop is normal for these pre-release builds.
  • Check out Flight Hub for a complete look at what build is in which Insider channel.
  • Copilot in Windows* in preview is being rolled out gradually to Windows Insiders in select global markets. The initial markets for the Copilot in Windows preview include North America, United Kingdom and parts of Asia and South America. It is our intention to add additional markets over time.
Thanks,
Amanda & Brandon

I was going to uninstall the Feedback Hub and The VP9 extensions with Revo so I could try reinstalling them. Revo has them listed as being installed yesterday. I updated to build 26200.5001 last night so it appears that they may be updated. The version I have of the Feedback Hub is 1.2401.20253.0 and the version of the VP9 Video Extensions is 1.1.451.0. I would be very grateful if someone would check to see if these are the newest versions or not. I went ahead and uninstalled them with Revo and reinstalled them from the MS Store. They now show as being modified a minute ago.

I'm not using any virtual machines on my two desktops and I don't have any freezing problems.

These are mine, but they were updated weeks ago, not with latest build. 🤷‍♂️

I see the same problem on my Dell XPS 8940 after updating to 26200.5001.
So do I on my Dell Latitude 3190 2-in-1....

Nvidia Driver 552.22 if that matters. 🤷‍♂️
Probably not.....

In addition, I'm still seeing the boot menu shrunk to the left half of the screen and bright pink when Canary is the default OS.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    unsupported machine: Legacy bios, MBR, TPM 1.2, upgraded from W10 to W11 using W10/W11 hybrid install media workaround.

    In-place upgrade to 22H2 using ISO and a workaround.
    Feature Update to 23H2 by manually installing the Enablement Package.
    In-place upgrade to 24H2 using hybrid 23H2/24H2 install media.
    Upgraded to 25H2 by Enablement Package.

    Also running Insider Dev, and Canary builds and Windows 10 as native boot .vhdx.
  • My SYSTEM THREE is a Dell Latitude 5410, i7-10610U, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe ssd, supported device running Windows 11 Pro.

    My SYSTEM FOUR was a 2-in-1 convertible Lenovo Yoga 11e (1st gen) type 20DA, Celeron N2930, 8GB RAM, 256GB ssd. Unsupported device. This has now been sold. It has been replaced by my System Eight.

    My SYSTEM FIVE is a Dell Latitude 3190 2-in-1, Pentium Silver N5030, 8GB RAM, 1TB NVMe ssd, supported device running Windows 11 Pro, plus Insider Beta, Dev, and Canary builds (and a few others) as a native boot .vhdx.

    My SYSTEM SIX is a Dell Latitude 5550, Core Ultra 7 165H, 64GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, supported device, Windows 11 Pro, Hyper-V host machine. Updated to 25H2 on 30th September 2025.

    My SYSTEM SEVEN is a Lenovo Thinkpad T580, 1920x1080 touchscreen, Intel Core i7-8650U, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD + 2nd 512GB NVMe SSD, a supported device for Windows 11. This is my current general purpose 'main machine'. The installed Windows 11 Home from my System One has been migrated to this machine. As its new home has an existing digital licence for Pro I've been able to upgrade the migrated OS from Home to Pro.

    My SYSTEM EIGHT is a 2-in-1 convertible Lenovo Yoga 11e (5th gen) type 20LN, Celeron N4120, 8GB RAM, 512GB NVMe ssd, a supported device for Windows 11. Currently running Windows 11 Pro, plus Insider Dev, Beta, and Canary builds as native boot vhdx.
So do I on my Dell Latitude 3190 2-in-1....


Probably not.....


In addition, I'm still seeing the boot menu shrunk to the left half of the screen and bright pink when Canary is the default OS.
Same missing spinning circle on a mini GMKtec K3 Pro with Intel driver 32.0.101.5439 that was installed by W.U. on Canary, not available from Intel yet. 😂
Looks like a new bug added with this build, affecting different machines with different configurations. 😎


I have not seen the shrunk menu with any of the latest Builds.
You may have something left over from some older build, I got that problem on one machine long time ago and I solved it by restoring a good backup and then updating again, I have not seen that problem anymore. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the advice to switch from DEV to Canary -- before doing this update. I'll keep both - but installing from new is a pain. I'll just replicate also existing DEV to a new system and then have both DEV and CANARY. With big SSD's (Nveme's) having a load of windows installs on physical vhdx files just works perfectly.

Note - replicating existing systems doesn't require new activations or licenses.

Note also those vhdx files can also be used in VM's -- simply copy the vhdx to the virtual disk in the vm and reinstall the bootloader. You'll probably end up with the Microsoft basic video adapter on the VM - but install on the GUEST the VM's "vmware tools, vbox additions, or on linux hosts using KVM/WEMU the windows virtual tools --virtio iso from the fedora site and install the redhat qxl video driver).

A VM though even copied from an existing physical system might (but sometimes not if you are lucky) be regarded as new hardware so will want activation or a new license. Sometimes though replicating from a physical install with the physical drivers still installed can at times confuse the "new hardware detection" mechanism so you could be lucky. If that's the case then do your updates in the vm - test and if OK copy back to a physical machine. You've got the original drivers so no probs there either.

cheers

I want advice on switching from DEV to CANARY because of Virtual Machine VM consideration since Microsoft switched me, without notice, from CANARY to DEV, and only because I switched back on my new SSD, it was not in time for my VMware VM. No matter I am debaing at the mmemtn whether to overwrite Windows with either Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 12 Testing both of which I have up in QEMU/KVM on Fedora Rawhide (importable to Garuda). It's a pleasant internal debate and I will probably decide next build.

You will not be switched from Dev to Canary. That only happened when Canary was first introduced So it is up to you which you select.

Bear in mind if you move to Canary, you cannot change again, once Canary diverges until Dev possibly reconverges im the future

Regarding Linux, despite the "benefits" spread by Linux users, the basic fact is that the range of main stream applications is much more limited.

People get so swept up in the Linux vs Windows debates, they forget the most fundamental point i.e. the purpose of an OS is to run apps.

Each user has to judge which OS meets their apps requirements. For some Linux is adequate but for many, it is certainly not.

I understand that giving up a few shareware programs I have bought (actually thousands of dollars) will be difficult, if not impossible, to run under, say, Wine; almost everything I personally need is available on Linux. I am not a gamer but have bought a gaming motherboard (A Gigabyte Ultra Durable) is working for me. I have used Hyper-V and WSL and they are fine but for reasons are not "my cup of tea". Ubuntu 24.04 LTS looks quite good as does Debian Trixis. When I get a Manjaro 2024 image (just found out how I caN get one on Garida Linux (if you lilke performance you should check it out in a VM!). Manjaro and Garuda are Arch based and have all the programs you could ever want through AUR. Fedora is also fine - I am running Rawhide ...

Same behavior on a mini PC GMKtec K3 Pro with Intel Graphics display adapter..
Looks like it is not communicating with the BIOS but I'm far f rom a Windows Canary expert.

If i expand the copilot window to far, the right hand pane is unresponsive. Also, the copilot hover feature still does not work for me, it didn't work in 26100 either, did they disable this in 24H2? I've tried copying text and/or images to the clipboard, when I hover over copilot, nothing happens. Anyone else having these issues?
