Microsoft has launched Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27934 for participants in the Canary Channel, introducing several enhancements and fixes aimed at improving overall system performance. This update specifically addresses issues such as crashes in the Desktop Window Manager (DWM), incorrect terminal app launches, and crashes in certain Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications while scrolling.
- General Enhancements: The update brings numerous refinements to enhance user experience, particularly for Insiders testing this build.
- Windowing Fixes: Significant improvements have been made to reduce DWM crashes, which previously caused brief black screens during operation.
- Terminal App Correction: A fix has been implemented for a bug where the command prompt (cmd) launched from the Run dialog would open in Windows Console Host instead of the designated Windows Terminal.
The update also resolves issues with UWP apps crashing during content scrolling, contributing to a more stable user experience.
Despite the improvements, Microsoft is actively investigating certain persistent issues:
- Settings App Stuck: There are reports of the Settings > System > Storage > Temporary files option freezing while scanning. This issue is under investigation.
- Previous Windows Installations Not Displayed: Microsoft is also looking into why previous Windows installations are not visible during the update process.
Users may encounter problems in File Explorer, particularly in dark mode, where the colors displayed for low space drives may appear incorrectly. For instance, the red color indicating low space may seem lighter than intended, and black is being used to depict free space, which is less visible.
Currently, the "Reset this PC" option found in Settings > System > Recovery is not functioning properly. Microsoft advises users experiencing this issue to revert to the previous build and reset their PC from there. Future updates are expected to resolve this problem.
With the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27934, Microsoft continues its commitment to enhancing the Windows experience for its users. The company encourages feedback and reports on any remaining issues as they work towards providing a more stable and refined operating system.
As Microsoft moves forward, it is likely that more updates will be rolled out to address the ongoing investigations and improve user experience further. Insiders can expect continued enhancements in performance, stability, and usability in upcoming builds
