Insider Windows 11 Insider Canary build 27823.1000 - March 26


UPDATE 4/23:


 Windows Blogs:

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27823 to the Canary Channel.

We are also not planning to release SDKs for 27xxx series builds for the time being.

Changes and Improvements

[General]

  • This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes that improve the overall experience for Insiders running this build on their PCs.
  • We’re previewing a new, more streamlined UI for unexpected restarts which better aligns with Windows 11 design principles and supports our goal of getting users back into productivity as fast as possible. We’ve simplified your experience while preserving the technical information on the screen. As a reminder, for Windows Insiders this appears as a “green screen”. This is beginning to roll out to Windows Insiders on Windows 11, version 24H2 and higher in the Beta, Dev, and Canary Channels.

[Settings]

  • [ADDED] We are rolling out “top cards” under Settings > System > About. These top cards provide an easy way to view your PC’s key specifications—processor, RAM, storage, and GPU—helping you understand your PC’s capabilities at a glance. This is designed to simplify decision-making by highlighting potential areas for hardware improvements while giving you a clear snapshot of your PC. Top Cards won’t appear yet on managed commercial PCs. Note this change appears only on specific PC form-factors such as desktops.

Fixes

[File Explorer]

  • Fixed an issue where File Explorer might be blank and not render if you ALT + Tab to it from a minimized state in the latest Canary builds.
  • Fixed an issue where the see more menu “…” in the command bar was drawing in the wrong direction at some resolutions.
  • As part of our ongoing commitment to improving File Explorer accessibility, this release includes increased support for the text scaling (via Settings > Accessibility > Text size) across File Explorer, File Open/Save dialogs and the copy dialogs.

[Input]

  • Fixed an issue which could cause a ctfmon.exe crash when copying content from certain apps.
  • Fixed an issue where GetRawInputData was unexpectedly failing to read data in some cases, with lastWin32Errror invalid handle error.

[Login and Lock]

  • Fixed an issue where clicking Sign in Options was crashing for some Insiders.

[Settings]

  • Fixed an issue which could cause Settings to crash when interacting with Bluetooth & Devices > Cameras.
  • Fixed an issue causing some unexpected space at the top of System > Sound, and some other Settings pages.

[Printing]

  • Fixed an issue where non-admin users couldn’t uninstall printers that they’d added.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing some Insiders to unexpectedly see a message saying a Send to OneNote driver for printing wasn’t working.

[Other]

  • Fixed an issue which was causing certain apps to fail to install in Builds 27813+.
  • Fixed an underlying issue which was causing some Insiders to unexpectedly get bugchecks with UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR when upgrading or clean installing the latest builds.
  • Fixed an issue where when using CopyPixels the pixels may be unexpectedly inverted in certain cases.
  • Fixed an issue in the latest Canary builds where traffic routing might not work correctly when network adapters were connected.

Known issues

[General]

  • [IMPORTANT NOTE FOR COPILOT+ PCs] If you are joining the Canary Channel on a new Copilot+ PC from the Dev Channel, Release Preview Channel or retail, you will lose Windows Hello pin and biometrics to sign into your PC with error 0xd0000225 and error message “Something went wrong, and your PIN isn’t available”. You should be able to re-create your PIN by clicking “Set up my PIN”.
  • [NEW] The toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update is not rendering correctly and gets turned off by itself. This is just a visual issue and will be fixed in a future flight soon.

[Taskbar]

  • We’re working on the fix for an issue where the taskbar icons aren’t increasing in size as they should when using your PC in a tablet posture.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel

  • The builds we release to the Canary Channel represent the latest platform changes early in the development cycle and 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.
  • Some features may show up in the Dev and Beta Channels first before showing up in the Canary Channel.
  • 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.
  • 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.
Thanks,
Amanda & Brandon

    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.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC 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.

Looks fine with 5.06 TB.
Looks like the problem with the bad characters in the message is only showing when the storage is 10 TB or higher. 😂🤷‍♂️

There is still First Class for International? I thought First Class was only domestic now and only Business Class is available internationally.

In just a few short weeks I won't be able to fly or even enter any Federal buildings because I don't have a True ID license. I don't travel outside the country so I don't have or even need a passport. My license expire in October so I'm going to wait until then.

Hello Daniel, :alien:

Did you restart the computer and check for updates again to see if it may restart or continue downloading afterwards?

If that doesn't help, then you could try resetting Windows Update using the method in the tutorial below.

A taste of W11 new upcoming Start Menu.
(Apparently it's designed for Dev and Beta Builds, so, here on Canary it's kinda half baked!)

What MS should focus on, is making Windows and the experience smooth again.

Example:

It took 38 minutes, 7 reboots and tens of questions to answer to even get to Windows desktop on the latest ARM based surface laptop on first boot...and even after that the computer was sluggish for hours.

Compare that to the latest MacBook Air. You just open the lid and a few seconds later you're greeted with the desktop asking to connect to your iCloud account and after doing that your computer was ready to go and buttery smooth.

Windows 11 in its current state is a big embarrassment for the human kind.

While I agree with you on the whole - for std type laptops etc (not ARM) the canary build actually seems to be the most stable and error free version of W11 24H2 that's been out for AGES. I'm still running on an OLD laptop with unsupported CPU and only 8GB RAM and using totally physical vhdx files . (Install via Dism /ApplyImage and use something like bootsect for creating the bootloader or even bcdboot - but beware latest boot system can give horrible errors if you use encryption / bitlocker etc).

It easily runs a couple of Linux VM's on HYPER-V as well -- so for once I'm satisfied Ms have done their homework on this build.

C is the Windows install from "D" which has a single large vhdx file on it and is the only fixed drive in the laptop, E is the recovery partition (C, and E are created during the install process from the vhdx virtual drive.) F and K are on an external USB drive and there's a standard SDHC card.

Same here - but IMHO that's fairly trivial.
