The Windows Insider team has confirmed that on Windows 11 Build 27723 (Canary Channel), devices with older NVIDIA graphics cards like the GTX 970 and Quadro K620 may experience various issues, including black screens, system freezes, and errors in Device Manager.

Microsoft today released Windows 11 Build 22635.4367 (Beta) to Insiders in the Beta channel. The update comes with the KB5044373 and installs on Windows 11 23H2. It adds a new Share menu to File Explorer, where the apps are directly listed in the submenu - no extra dialog opens. Besides, there are some fixes.

Windows 11 Build 26120.2122 (KB5044374) is now available to Insiders in the Dev channel. The key changes include a new version of Snipping Tool that can extract tables from captures, improved taskbar preview thumbnails, slightly updated Task Manager, and several fixes.

Early adopters of the recently released Windows 11 version 24H2 have noticed a strange behavior of the new OS. When you perform a disk cleanup with with Windows Update files checked, the OS leaves several gigabyte of data untouched. This caused a lot of speculation that it is a bug in the OS.

A bug in Windows 11 24H2 causes the standard system file checker sfc /scannow to detect corrupted files every time it is launched and scans the disk. Such a bug was first detected by Insiders, but for some reason it made its path to the production version of 24H2.

Microsoft has released Windows 11 Build 22631.4387 to Insiders in the Release Preview channel. It comes via KB5044380 and applies to version 23H2 (Build 22631). It is notable for adding a Phone Link flyout to the Start menu, a new GamePad layout for the touch keyboard, an option to change what the Copilot key does. It also includes several fixes. Some of the new additions are coming gradually.

Microsoft has updated the server files that are intended for the Media Creation Tool. So now, if you download and run the app, it will prepare for you a bootable USB stick with the latest Windows 11 version 24H2. Or, you can use the app to download the latest ISO.

Microsoft today released a new Canary channel build to insiders. Windows 11 Build 27723  adds the ability to share local files from the Search pane, improves fonts, Voice Access, and more.

Starting with Windows 11 Build 26120.1912 (Dev), Microsoft has added support for 6 GHz Wi-Fi to the mobile hotpost feature of Windows 11. It provides your connected devices with much better data transfer rate and more reliable network coverage.

Microsoft has terminated support for both Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 21H2. Yesterday's Patch Tuesday was the last hour for them. 21H2 was already discontinued for regular users, but was supported for enterprise customers. Now, 21H2 is not supported for anyone. 22H2 will remain on servicing for Enterprise customers for one extra year. Consumers will no longer receive updates.
