Windows 11 Build 26120.2213 (KB5045885) is now available in the Dev Insider channel. There are no new features in this release. Instead, it ships several long awaited fixes. Here are the details.
Advertisеment
Microsoft is rolling out Dev channel features gradually. Insiders who want to be the first to see the new features and updates can turn on the "Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available" toggle in Settings > Windows Update. This will make Windows 11 activate more new features for you. If you turn this option off, updates will gradually roll out to your PC as they’re ready.
Changes for Insiders with the enabled option
Changes and improvements
Input
- The IME toolbar will now be hidden when the app is in full-screen mode. This change will affect users who have the IME toolbar enabled, as well as those who type in Chinese or Japanese.
