Microsoft has announced the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27863 for users in the Canary Channel. This update introduces significant advancements, particularly the inclusion of the post-quantum signature algorithm ML-DSA within the NCrypt and BCrypt cryptography APIs, as well as the Crypt32 certificate APIs. It supports three variants of ML-DSA: 44, 65, and 87, and users are encouraged to test and validate these new certificates.
In addition to the new cryptographic features, the update addresses several issues. It resolves a problem that caused Windows Sandbox to fail with error code 0xc0370106 upon launch. It also corrects an issue where essential Windows components, such as File Explorer and the Start menu, were unable to load in safe mode following previous updates. Furthermore, a fix has been implemented for msftedit.dll, which previously caused applications like Sticky Notes and Dxdiag to crash for users utilizing Hebrew or Arabic display languages.
This build highlights Microsoft's ongoing commitment to enhancing security through advanced cryptography while also improving the overall stability and performance of Windows 11 for its users. As the Canary Channel serves as a testing ground for new features, feedback from Insiders will be crucial in refining these updates before they reach a broader audience.
Looking ahead, users can anticipate further enhancements and fixes in future builds, as Microsoft continues to innovate and address user needs based on the feedback received from the Insider community
