Microsoft improves Windows 11 Search UI settings, confirms group policy bug in build 27919

August 8, 2025

Microsoft has unveiled a new Windows 11 build, 27919, for Insiders in the Canary channel, showcasing a refreshed user interface and user experience for the Search page within the Settings app. This update aims to streamline user interactions, making it easier to navigate and manage search settings.

Enhancements and Fixes

The latest build introduces a more organized structure for Windows Search settings, consolidating them under Settings > Privacy & security. Users will now find a dedicated “Search permissions” and “Searching Windows” settings page, allowing for a more intuitive experience. This modernized visual layout enhances clarity, enabling users to browse and control their Windows Search settings with greater ease.

In addition to the UI improvements, Microsoft has addressed several bugs that affected user experience:

[File Explorer]

  • Resolved an issue that caused File Explorer to crash when accessing the digital signatures tab in file properties.

[Input]

  • Fixed problems with the Microsoft Changjie Input method that hindered its functionality in the previous build.
  • Rectified issues affecting phonetic keyboards, including the Hindi and Marathi Phonetic Input keyboards.

Known Issues

Despite these enhancements, the build is not without its challenges. Users should be aware of the following known issues:

[General]

  • [IMPORTANT NOTE FOR COPILOT+ PCs] Transitioning to the Canary Channel from the Dev Channel, Release Preview Channel, or retail on a new Copilot+ PC may result in the loss of Windows Hello PIN and biometrics, displaying error 0xd0000225. Users can recreate their PIN by selecting “Set up my PIN.”
  • The progress wheel may appear as a rectangle glyph instead of rendering correctly during the upgrade process.
  • [NEW] Users may encounter multiple error pop-ups regarding unexpected elements when accessing the Group Policy Editor.
  • [NEW] An underlying issue with dao360.dll could lead to app crashes in this build.

[Remote Desktop]

  • [NEW] A new issue has emerged where remote desktop functionality defaults to the primary monitor, even when multiple monitors are configured.

For further details, the official blog post can be found on Microsoft’s website.
