Noticed Windows 11 getting more buggy? Microsoft implements a load of bug fixes with new preview build, fighting some truly odd glitches

Microsoft is focused on addressing bugs in Windows 11, particularly following the 24H2 update, which has introduced various issues. The latest preview build, 27749 for the Canary channel, includes a new keyboard shortcut for the Narrator tool and enhancements to its functionality in the Outlook app. Notable glitches being resolved include an issue with Task Manager inaccurately reporting zero running processes, delays and black screens when switching applications via Alt-Tab, and interface-related problems in File Explorer and the taskbar. Fixes also address a crash in the Privacy panel of the Settings app and a volume control issue that increased audio levels unexpectedly. The prevalence of these bugs is hypothesized to be linked to the transition to a new underlying platform, Germanium.
