Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.1930 is now available for Dev Channel users, introducing exciting features like a new simplified Chinese font and enhancements to the Windows Sandbox.

Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.1930: What’s New?
On October 4, 2024, Microsoft unveiled the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.1930 for the Dev Channel. This build introduces several exciting features and improvements, making it a must-try for Windows enthusiasts.
Major Updates in This Build
One of the standout additions is the new simplified Chinese font, Simsun-ExtG. This font supports Unicode Extensions G, Hand I, and includes the complex character for Biangbiang noodles, noted as:
“The most complicated Chinese character.”
Additionally, the Windows Sandbox Client Preview is now available to all Insiders, enhancing the virtualization experience with new controls for clipboard redirection and audio/video input.
Improvements and Fixes
General improvements have been made to enhance the overall user experience. For instance, a fix addresses issues with dual-boot devices, ensuring the boot menu displays correctly. Insiders will also find a new setting to configure the Copilot key, allowing users to launch specific apps securely.
New Clock Widgets
Another exciting feature is the introduction of new clock widgets—countdown and timer—available through the updated Clock app. Users can easily add these widgets to their board, enhancing productivity and time management.
Important Considerations
While this build brings numerous enhancements, some known issues persist. For example, users may encounter installation errors (0x800f0983). If this occurs, simply retrying the installation usually resolves the problem.
Moreover, the Start menu may experience glitches when interacting with the All apps list. Restarting the explorer.exe process can help mitigate this issue.
Feedback and Future Developments
Microsoft encourages users to provide feedback through the Feedback Hub. This input is crucial for refining features before broader releases. As Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc note:
“Features and experiences included in these builds may never get released.”
Staying updated with the latest features is essential for Windows Insiders. Turning on the toggle for the latest updates ensures you receive new features as they become available.
Overall, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.1930 is packed with innovations that enhance user experience. Stay tuned for more updates as Microsoft continues to refine its flagship operating system.
