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.
