Microsoft has released the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7961, which re-enables Administrator Protection to prevent rogue software from gaining full control of users' systems while allowing legitimate tasks to proceed. The update also introduces refinements to the drag tray, minimizing accidental taskbar launches, and adds a voice typing feature for renaming files in File Explorer, making the process more efficient. Additionally, minor visual improvements have been made to eliminate white flashes when opening new Explorer windows and resizing panes, enhancing the overall interface experience. These updates are being gradually rolled out to users who have opted into the preview toggle and will eventually be available to all users in the Beta Channel
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7961 Beta Channel: Gives Just‑In‑Time Admin Rights and Voice‑Typed File Renames
Microsoft’s newest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7961 re‑enables Administrator Protection, letting users grant just‑in‑time admin rights to stop rogue installers from gaining full control while still allowing legitimate work to flow. A tweak to the drag tray shrinks the peek view and improves dismissal so windows near the screen edge no longer trigger accidental taskbar launches. File Explorer now accepts voice typing (Win + H) for renaming files, cutting down on tedious keyboard edits when batch‑renaming items. Finally, a few visual glitches—namely white flashes when opening new Explorer windows set to “This PC” or while resizing panes—have been smoothed out, giving the interface a more polished feel.
