Microsoft has released a new preview of Windows 11, Build 27813 , to Insider program participants on the Canary channel. Key changes include the removal of the Location History feature (used by Cortana for device location tracking), with corresponding settings deleted from Privacy & Security. Fixes address audio crashes linked to MIDI updates via the WDMAud driver and display issues with missing color profiles.
Changes and improvements
General
This update includes a small number of improvements and fixes designed to improve the overall experience of the operating system.
Other
The Location History feature has been removed. This was an API used by Cortana to access a device’s 24-hour location history when location tracking was enabled. Once the feature is removed, location data will no longer be stored locally on the device. The corresponding settings have also been removed from the Settings > Privacy & Security > Location page.
Fixes
Audio
Fixed an issue with the WDMAud system driver that was causing applications to crash after recent improvements to MIDI performance.
Settings
Fixed an issue where Settings > System > Display > Color Management might not display a list of color profiles for the selected monitor.
