Microsoft has rolled out Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27938 to users in the Canary Channel, introducing a host of new features and enhancements aimed at improving user experience and system performance. This latest build highlights the integration of AI-powered actions within File Explorer, allowing for more efficient file interactions. Users can now perform various actions by right-clicking on files, such as image editing with tools like Bing Visual Search and document summarization for quicker comprehension.

Additionally, a new customizable clock feature in the notification center allows users to display a larger clock that shows seconds alongside the date and calendar. To activate this feature, users can navigate to Settings > Time & language > Date & time and enable the "Show time in the Notification Center" option.

Security improvements are also a focus in this build, with enhanced visibility into the generative AI models used by third-party applications. Users can manage permissions for apps that utilize Windows-provided generative AI models through Settings > Privacy & security > Text and image generation.

Furthermore, Build 27938 includes several bug fixes addressing issues in areas like Reset & Recovery, File Explorer, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), input methods, and Task Manager, enhancing overall system stability and usability.

However, users should be aware of some known issues, including rollback errors during installation, temporary file issues in Storage Settings, and specific problems related to PIX on Windows and graphics/audio performance. Workarounds are suggested for these issues, such as updating drivers for devices with errors in Device Manager.

In summary, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27938 represents a significant step forward in user experience and security for Insiders, showcasing Microsoft's commitment to continuous improvement in its operating system. As the build evolves, users are encouraged to provide feedback to help refine these features further
