Key improvements include enhanced text scaling support in File Explorer and related dialogs, making them more accessible. Updates to the desktop icon logic have made pinned apps larger and easier to see, although users may need to recreate shortcuts to see these changes. The update also addresses several technical issues, including crashes related to voice typing with the Chinese (Simplified) layout, ctmon.exe, and explorer.exe during snap layout usage. Other fixes involve taskbar icon size adjustments for tablet mode, resolution of night light functionality, and alleviation of audio and network issues, particularly concerning MIDI device recognition and Wi-Fi connectivity.
In this release, Microsoft is not planning to issue SDKs for the 27xxx series builds at this time, but they continue to focus on improving overall system stability and user experience.
Looking ahead, Microsoft is likely to continue refining Windows 11 through future Insider builds, focusing on user feedback to enhance functionality and address any remaining bugs. As the Canary Channel is typically where new features are tested first, users can expect ongoing updates that might further streamline processes and improve the overall interface
