Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2122: What’s New?
On October 11, 2024, Microsoft announced the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2122 in the Dev Channel. This update introduces several exciting features and improvements for Windows Insiders.
Major Updates in This Build
One of the significant changes is in the taskbar. Microsoft has enhanced the previews that appear when hovering over apps. This improvement is based on feedback from Insiders, leading to smoother animations and better usability.
“We’ve updated the previews that show when you mouse-over/hover over apps on the taskbar.”
Additionally, the Task Manager received a design overhaul. The Disconnect and Logoff dialogs now support dark mode and text scaling, enhancing the overall user experience.
Fixes and Improvements
Several fixes have been rolled out as well. For example, an issue causing the screen to go black during ALT + Tab has been resolved. Insiders can also expect a fix for error 0x800f0825, which previously hindered some users from installing the latest builds.
Snipping Tool Update
The Snipping Tool has also been updated. It now features a “Copy as table” option, allowing users to easily copy structured data into emails or spreadsheets. This new functionality enhances productivity, especially for users working with tabular data.
“Customers can use ‘Copy as table’ to easily copy structured table data into an email, document, or spreadsheet.”
Known Issues to Keep in Mind
Despite the improvements, some known issues remain. For instance, clicking on a letter in the Start menu’s All apps list may cause it to break. Users experiencing this issue can try rebooting their devices or restarting explorer.exe.
Furthermore, live captions may crash after installing this build. Microsoft encourages users to provide feedback through the Feedback Hub to help address these issues.
Conclusion
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2122 brings exciting enhancements and fixes to the Dev Channel. As always, Microsoft values user feedback, so Insiders are encouraged to share their experiences. Stay tuned for more updates as development continues!
