Here are the official highlights for Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27902 (Canary Channel) based on the Windows Insider Blog announcement:

Key Changes and Improvements​

  • General Improvements:
    This build delivers a small set of general improvements and fixes that enhance the overall experience for Insiders.

Fixes​

  • File Explorer:
  • Fixed an issue where File Explorer might fail to persist view changes.
  • This also impacted desktop icons, which could unexpectedly move or revert to default size.
  • Camera App:
  • Fixed a bug where the Camera app could get stuck when switching between front and back cameras on some PCs.

Known Issues​

  • For Copilot+ PCs:
  • If you join the Canary Channel from Dev/Release Preview/retail, you will lose Windows Hello PIN/biometric sign-in (error 0xd0000225, “Something went wrong, and your PIN isn’t available”). You can recreate your PIN via “Set up my PIN.”
  • Bugcheck:
  • A small number of Insiders may experience repeated bugchecks with KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE after upgrading, possibly when connecting to VPN (started with the previous build).
  • Boot Sound:
  • This build, by accident, plays the Windows Vista boot sound instead of the Windows 11 boot sound. A fix is coming in a future build.
  • Settings:
  • Possible crashes in Settings > System > Power & Battery.
  • Apostrophes in some Settings text may display incorrectly as random characters.
  • Remote Desktop:
  • Extreme graphical distortion and rendering issues when using Remote Desktop on Arm64 PCs.

Notes for Canary Channel Insiders​

  • Canary builds are early developmental platform changes, not tied to a specific Windows release.
  • Features may be rolled out to only a subset of Insiders at first and may never ship in a public release.
  • Some features may be available in Dev/Beta channels before Canary.
  • Builds may not always be fully localized and may contain localization issues.
  • To exit the Canary Channel, a clean Windows 11 install is required.
