Additionally, the AI Narrator has been improved to provide richer descriptions for images, charts, and graphs, enhancing accessibility, particularly for visually impaired users. Currently, this feature is available on Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, with plans for support on AMD and Intel systems soon.
The update also introduces the ability to access diverse content like articles, slideshows, and videos directly from the MSN feed on the Windows 11 widgets board. Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) can now customize their weather widgets on the lock screen.
Microsoft has addressed various issues in this build, including fixes for Recall on Copilot+ PCs, improvements to File Explorer, Taskbar, and desktop icons, as well as resolving touchpad malfunctions and image rendering issues. However, there are notable bugs, including a temporary two-hop experience for Dev Channel users when joining, problems with Windows Recovery Environment, and certain apps displaying incorrectly post-update.
Users of the Recall feature can opt to disable it anytime, with the understanding that certain binaries may remain temporarily. The intelligent text actions in the Click to Do feature are now moderated locally for safety.
To optimize the Windows Search experience on Copilot+ PCs, users are encouraged to keep their devices plugged in during the initial indexing phase. Known issues impacting Task Manager functionality and CPU calculations are acknowledged, with ongoing efforts to fix them in future updates.
In conclusion, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5551 marks a significant step towards enhancing user experience through improved search capabilities, accessibility features, and content integration, while also addressing a range of technical issues. Microsoft continues to gather feedback to refine these features ahead of broader rollout plans
