Microsoft Releases Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26257 with Features and Bug Fixes

Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26257 to the Canary Channel. Microsoft has revealed that they will not release SDK for builds that are flighted to the Canary Channel. Let’s look at the features. You can duplicate File Explorer tabs by right clicking on a tab. You can now turn off enhanced mouse pointer precision by navigating to Settings > Bluetooth & Device > Mouse dashboard.

You will be able to read SSIDs that are UTF-8 encoded if you make use of the netsh wlan show networks command. This feature is being rolled out in a phased manner. Hence, you will not be able to experience the functionality immediately. The logic for the End Task option in the Taskbar has been updated.

The system no longer shows a Not Responding dialog to provide confirmation before ending the task. The System Info (msinfo32) has been updated not to follow the specified text size preference under Settings > Accessibility > Text Size. The flight has resolved an underlying issue that causes Windows Insiders to view bugchecks citing KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. The Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26257 update also resolved issues related to File Explorer and Settings.

If the update failed to install for the Windows Insiders in the canary and Dev Channels on Build 26040 and Build 23620, then the problem is being looked into. If you are unable to retrieve the system, you can download the ISO and perform clean install. The Windows Sandbox will fail to launch with error 0x80370106 after the installation of this flight. The issues related to emoji, keyboard, and graphs on the Performance page in Task Manager have been resolved.
