Microsoft has officially launched the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.6982 for Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel, providing an opportunity for users to explore and test new features before they are rolled out to the general public. This build introduces a variety of enhancements aimed at improving user experience and system reliability.
One of the standout features in this update is "Copy & Search," which allows users to quickly search for text that has been copied to the clipboard with just a click. This feature is activated by a paste gleam appearing in the Windows Search box on the taskbar, making it easier for users to access relevant information without additional steps.
Another significant addition is the "Wait time before acting" option in Voice Typing, which permits users to set a delay between their voice commands and the system's response. This enhancement is particularly useful for individuals with diverse speech patterns, as it aids in achieving more accurate voice recognition.
The build also introduces Proactive Memory Diagnostics, which enhances system reliability by prompting users to conduct memory scans following unexpected system restarts (bug checks). Users can run these scans during their next reboot, typically taking about five minutes, to identify and address potential memory issues.
Additional updates include revamped Device Cards for better readability and smoother navigation within Settings, improved About settings for a more organized user experience, and a refined search results flyout that now features a scrollbar for easier navigation.
In terms of usability, Click to Do has been updated to offer helpful hints, aiding users in discovering useful features quickly, and the Start menu flyout has been adjusted to match the size of the Windows Search flyout for a seamless user experience. Enterprise customers will also benefit from new on-hover actions in File Explorer Home, and the search icon animation issue in File Explorer has been resolved.
While this build brings several improvements, it does come with some known issues that Microsoft is actively investigating. These include potential problems with keyboards or USB devices for certain users, the Start menu not opening correctly with a click (though it can still be accessed via the Windows key), and applications failing to display in the system tray as expected.
Looking ahead, Microsoft is expected to continue refining Windows 11 with further updates and features based on user feedback from the Insider Program, ensuring that the operating system evolves to meet the needs of its users. As part of this ongoing development process, future builds may focus on additional performance enhancements, security improvements, and new functionalities that leverage emerging technologies
