Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.1340 is now available in the Dev channel. An option to disable enhanced cursor precision and change mouse scroll direction, improved spelling processing in Voice Access, and more accurate energy recommendations are among the changes.
ℹ️ The Dev channel now receives updates with some of the features to become available gradually. You can enable the Get the latest updates as soon as they're available option in Settings > Windows Update to get them faster. The rest will get those features a bit later.
Changes and improvements
For insiders with the option enabled
Input
In the section "Settings" > "Bluetooth and devices" > "Mouse" there is now an option to disable the enhanced cursor precision if you prefer not to use this feature. There is also a setting to change the direction of scrolling with the mouse wheel.
Voice access
Microsoft has improved the spelling correction and text editing capabilities when using Voice Access. Now you can use these features throughout your Voice Access session. Improved spelling processing also lets you dictate characters faster and edit text more flexibly using dictation commands such as highlight, delete, and navigate text.
Settings
On PCs with HDR displays, Microsoft now recommends turning off HDR to save power. The recommendation will start appearing under Settings > System > Power > Power saving recommendations.
Fixes
