Windows 11 Build 27723 (Canary) comes with a new expiration date

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.

New features

New expiration date

Starting with Build 27691, the expiration date for Windows Insider Canary Channel builds has changed to September 15, 2025. Microsoft strongly recommends updating to the latest build.

Windows Search

Microsoft is introducing the ability to share local files directly from taskbar search results.

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.

Fonts

A new simplified Chinese font, Simsun-ExtG, has been introduced, containing 9,753 characters and supporting Unicode extensions G, H, and I. In particular, it includes the long-awaited character for noodles "Biangbiang" (U+30EDD), known for its complexity, as shown in the image below. Please note that display of new characters from these extensions may not be available in some applications yet.

The font covers the following Unicode ranges:

• Unicode G: 30000-3134A (4939 characters)
• Unicode H: 31350-323AF (4192 characters)
• Unicode I: 2EBF0-2EE5D (622 characters)

Settings

The button to detach a virtual hard disk (VHD/VHDx) added in Build 27686 has been temporarily disabled starting with Build 27718.

Microsoft plans to bring this button back soon. The button could be found under Settings > System > Storage > Disks and Volumes, selecting the desired VHD/VHDx from the list and going to Properties.
