Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5622: What’s New?
Microsoft just dropped the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5622 for Dev Channel users. This update brings some exciting features, especially for those with Copilot+ PCs and Microsoft 365 subscriptions. If you’re eager to test new productivity tools and recovery options, this build is packed with goodies.
Introducing New Copilot+ PC Experiences
One standout is the new “Draft with Copilot in Word” feature. It lets you quickly turn snippets of text into full drafts using a simple Win + Click shortcut. No more staring at blank pages or struggling with writer’s block.
“No more blank pages. No more writer’s block. Just momentum.”
This feature requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription and will roll out gradually over the coming weeks. It integrates seamlessly with the Click to Do tool, enhancing your workflow during meetings or brainstorming sessions.
Quick Machine Recovery: A Game Changer for Boot Issues
Another major update is the rollout of Quick Machine Recovery (QMR), part of the Windows Resiliency Initiative. It helps your PC recover from serious boot problems by applying fixes through the Windows Recovery Environment.
Microsoft added a dedicated settings page under System > Recovery > Quick machine recovery, letting you toggle the feature, schedule scans, and control restarts.
“IT pros can now configure QMR easily using Intune Settings Catalog UI.”
This is huge for IT admins managing fleets, making recovery smoother and less disruptive.
Widgets Get Smarter with Multiple Dashboards
Widgets just got a productivity boost. You can now switch between multiple dashboards using a new navigation bar on the left. This means more space for your favorite widgets and a personalized feed to keep you updated on news and events.
Other Noteworthy Improvements
- Open with… dialog: Now suggests Microsoft Store apps with a handy Store icon.
- Phone Link: Instant notification grouping and one-click Android screen mirroring from Start menu.
- PC Migration: Early rollout of a new PC-to-PC migration experience via Windows Backup app.
- Settings: New Device Card shows PC specs and usage at a glance for U.S. users.
Bug Fixes and Stability Enhancements
This build also squashes several bugs affecting Windows Search, Start menu, File Explorer, Task Manager, Narrator, and Voice Access. For example, the Start menu crash on launch and File Explorer dropdown cut-offs have been addressed.
Why This Matters
Windows 11 continues to evolve with a focus on productivity, recovery, and user experience. If you’re a Windows Insider, this build offers a sneak peek at features designed to save time and reduce headaches.
Make sure to toggle on the latest updates in Settings > Windows Update to get these features early.
