Exciting Updates in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3073
Windows Insiders, get ready for some thrilling new features! The latest Insider Preview Build 26120.3073 has just dropped, and it’s packed with enhancements that you won’t want to miss.
What’s New in This Build?
This update introduces improved Windows Search capabilities, particularly for those using Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs. Now, you can easily find files saved in your OneDrive. Just type in descriptive keywords like “European castles” or “summer picnics” to locate your cloud photos.
“We’re excited to introduce a new way to find your cloud content in Windows.”
Additionally, a small update to Paint is also included, enhancing your creative experience.
Major Updates for Beta Channel Users
Starting today, Beta Channel users can opt into the same Dev Channel updates based on Windows 11, version 24H Initially optional, these updates will become recommended later this year. This means automatic upgrades for Beta Channel users, ensuring everyone stays up to date.
However, be cautious; switching to the 24H2 updates may lead to some feature rollouts being lost. If you’re currently in the Dev Channel, you have a limited window to switch to the Beta Channel while both channels receive the same updates.
Improved Search Functionality
The enhanced Windows Search feature is a game-changer. It now supports searching for cloud-stored photos alongside local files. This functionality is currently available for OneDrive users. Soon, third-party cloud providers will also be supported.
As Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc noted, “Just use your own words to find photos stored in the cloud.” This feature is designed to make your search experience more intuitive and efficient.
Other Notable Changes
The update also includes various fixes and improvements. For instance, issues with the taskbar previews and File Explorer have been addressed. Additionally, settings for commercial customers are being rolled out, enhancing the enterprise experience on managed PCs.
Overall, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3073 brings significant enhancements that improve usability and functionality. Whether you’re a developer or a casual user, these updates are worth exploring!
