Advertisеment
What's new in Windows 11 Build 26100.3915, KB5055627
Gradual roll-out
Recall (Preview)
- Do you work with a lot of apps, websites, and documents, and sometimes it’s hard to remember where you saw something when you need it again? Recall offers a completely new way to safely find what you saw or did on your PC. With the AI capabilities of Copilot+ PCs, you can quickly find information and return to any app, website, image, or document simply by describing its content.
To use Recall, you’ll need to agree to save screenshots (snapshots of your activity) and set up Windows Hello to verify your presence so that only you can access the screenshots. You also have control over which screenshots are saved and can pause saving at any time.
As you use your Copilot+ PC, whether you’re working on documents or presentations, participating in a video conference, or switching between tasks, Recall will regularly take screenshots to help you find what you need in the future. When you need to find something you saw or did before, open Recall and authenticate with Windows Hello.
Once you find the data you want, you can reopen the app, website, or document, and use Click to Do to perform an action on any image or text in the photo you find.
You can read more about Recall in Microsoft's documentation.

Click to Do (Preview)

on the Microsoft website - On Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, Click to Do includes intelligent text actions. Use WIN + <mouse click>WIN + QPhi Silica

Improved Windows Search
- On devices with the Copilot+ PC label and AMD and Intel processors, finding documents, photos, and settings is easier thanks to the introduction of Enhanced Windows Search, which is based on semantic models in addition to traditional lexical indexing.
Whether you are searching in File Explorer, the search box on the taskbar, or Settings, simply type what you think to find it on your PC. You no longer need to remember file names, exact words in document content, or the names of settings.
Thanks to the neural processing unit (NPU) with a performance of over 40 TOPS built into Copilot+ PC devices, improved search is available even without an Internet connection.
For detailed information on how semantic search works on Copilot+ PCs, please refer to the documentation at this link. - On devices with the Copilot+ PC label with AMD and Intel processors, it’s now easier to search for photos in your cloud storage. You can use natural language queries in the search bar in the upper-right corner of File Explorer to find photos in the cloud by describing their content, for example, "European castles" or "summer picnics."
In addition, photos from the cloud will now appear in search results along with images saved on your local computer. The results will also show exact matches for your keywords in the text of your cloud files.
The feature only works with personal OneDrive cloud storage. To try out the improved search, you must be signed in to a Microsoft account and have an active Internet connection.

Narrator
- Speech Recap lets you monitor what Narrator has said and quickly access that information. With simple keyboard shortcuts, you can follow the transcription in real time and copy what Narrator last said.
Phone connection
- The Windows 11 Start menu has a new sidebar called Connect to your phone, which offers a quick and easy way to interact with your connected smartphone. You can use it to make phone calls, send text messages, access your photos, and share content between your PC and smartphone.
Widgets
- Web developers can now use existing web content to create dynamic and interactive widgets that can be added to the Widgets panel in Windows 11. You can read more about this in Microsoft's documentation.
- For insiders in the European Economic Area (EEA)
- You can now customize how the Weather widget works on your lock screen. To do this, go to Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen and tap the Customize widget option in the weather widget's advanced settings menu. More widgets will be customizable in the future.
File Explorer
- The Home page in File Explorer now shows personalized elements to help you easily access your Microsoft 365 content on Windows.
- Extended support for text scaling has been implemented in Explorer, the Open and Save dialog boxes, and the file copy window. Text scaling is configured in Options > Accessibility > Text Size.
- The performance of extracting archived files in Explorer has been improved. This will be especially noticeable when unpacking a large number of small files.
- Fixed an issue where the address bar in File Explorer might not display the path after opening a directory.
Settings
- On Copilot+ PCs, you can now control which apps Windows can recommend actions from. The settings can be found under Settings > Apps > Actions.
Windows Studio Effects

Taskbar
- Fixed an issue where underlines under app icons on the taskbar could remain visible even if the app was closed.
- Fixed an issue where the arrow keys would work in the wrong direction after using the WIN + T shortcut on an Arabic or Hebrew system.
Desktop icons
- Updated logic for app icons on the desktop. Packaged apps will no longer have an accent color background (for example, if you drag the Snipping Tool icon from the Start app list to the desktop). Icons should also be larger to make them easier to distinguish.
Display
- Fixed an issue where sometimes you had to use WIN + P twice to switch projection mode.
ExtFloodFill
- Fixed a rare issue with ExtFloodFill that could cause a horizontal line to appear in the wrong location in Win32 applications.

Available to all users
BSOD
- Fixed an issue that occurred after installing the April 2025 security update and rebooting the device. Some computers may experience a BSOD with error code 0x18B, indicating SECURE_KERNEL_ERROR.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP Client)
- Fixed an issue that affected the ability to connect to the Internet after waking the device from sleep mode. Users would occasionally lose their Internet connection.
File systems
- Fixed an issue for users with profiles redirected to a network virtual hard disk (VHD or VHDX) where a certain failure could cause the operating system to crash.
Image processing
- Fixed an issue where some pages that included JPEG images were not displayed.
Windows Hello
- Fixed a rare issue with Windows Hello that affected devices with certain security features enabled. After performing a system reset (Reset this PC in Settings > System > Recovery with the Keep my files and Remove everything options selected), some users may have experienced an inability to sign in to Windows services using Windows Hello facial recognition or a PIN.
Settings
- Fixed an issue where installing Windows 11 version 24H2 using Windows Setup and then running System Preparation (Sysprep) would not update the boot configuration correctly, preventing the system recovery options from System > Recovery from working.
Windows Update
- The system now tells you the estimated time your computer will be unusable while Windows updates are installed. This estimated time will be displayed on the Windows Update page and in the power button menu in Start.
