Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3291 (Dev and Beta Channels)

Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3291 (KB5052080) has been released for the Dev and Beta Channels, introducing enhancements for Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs. Key updates include an improved Windows Search feature that allows users to find cloud-stored files directly from the taskbar search box and a refined Recall (Preview) experience, which will delete previous snapshots but continue saving new ones if enabled in Settings. For Beta Channel users, the same updates are available as optional upgrades, with plans to make them recommended later this year. Insiders can switch from the Dev to the Beta Channel while both channels share identical build numbers, but this option will close once the Dev Channel progresses to higher build numbers. The improved Windows Search feature supports finding cloud-stored photos by describing them, available for users signed into OneDrive with a personal Microsoft account. Support for third-party cloud providers is expected soon. The update also includes fixes for live captions, File Explorer reliability, and issues with Remote Desktop. Known issues include inaccuracies in build version display after a PC reset and problems with Recall not saving snapshots automatically. An update to the Snipping Tool introduces a new trim feature for screen recordings, allowing users to adjust start and end times.

6 non-AI features I’m excited about on Windows 11 version 24H2 (2024 Update)

The Windows 11 2024 Update (version 24H2) introduces several new features: 1. Sudo Command: Users can enable the Sudo command to execute elevated commands without reopening the Windows Terminal as an administrator. It can be run in three modes: inline, with input disabled, or in a new window. 2. Energy Saver: A new mode to optimize power consumption for laptops and desktops, allowing users to extend battery life and reduce energy usage, configurable based on battery levels. 3. Archival Format Creation Support: File Explorer now supports creating archival formats like 7zip and TAR, alongside traditional Zip files, with a wizard for additional settings. 4. Color Profiles in Settings: Color profile management has been integrated into the Settings app, allowing users to import ICM or ICC files and switch profiles. 5. Windows Protected Print Mode: Simplifies printer setup by allowing connection to Mopria printers without third-party drivers, enhancing security and streamlining the process. 6. Wi-Fi 7 Support: The update includes support for Wi-Fi 7, requiring a compatible network adapter and access point, with updated Quick Settings for network management. The update is being rolled out gradually, with full availability expected later in the year, and some features may require new hardware.
