After we received the 26200.5001 as Canary in mid-April, we are now working with the Windows 11 26212.5000 ge_Prerelease (parallel to server version) further. The new version was compiled on May 3rd. so still very fresh.
- In this new version, a QR code can also be generated for URLs and cloud file associations in the Windows share. “To try this in Microsoft Edge, simply click the Share button in the Edge toolbar and select “Windows Sharing Options”.”
- To prevent accidental closing of the Windows Share window, clicking outside the Windows Share window no longer closes it. To close the Windows Share window, simply click the “Close” button in the top right corner.
- If your Microsoft account uses a Gmail address, you can now send emails to yourself from the Windows sharing window and receive them in your Gmail account.
- Co-pilot Over the last few months, we've been trying out various experiences for Copilot in Windows (Preview) with Windows Insiders in the Canary, Dev and Beta channels. Some of these experiences include Copilot's ability in Windows to behave like a normal application window and animate the system tray icon to indicate that Copilot can help copy text or images. We've decided to pause the rollout of these features to continue refining them based on user feedback. Copilot in Windows will continue to work as expected while we develop new ideas with Windows Insiders.
Known problems in Windows 11 26212
- [WICHTIGER HINWEIS] We are investigating reports that some Windows Insiders in the Canary channel and the Development channel are stuck on build 26040 or build 23620. The investigation is still ongoing. If you still want to switch to the current version, you can only do so by reinstalling it
Corrections and improvements in Windows 11 26212
- We have corrected the issue of Advanced Startup Options not working. This also corrects the issue of the progress wheel not showing at boot.
- We believe we have corrected the issue that was causing Features on Demand (FODs) to fail to install.
- Co-pilot We are providing a fix for the issue that caused Copilot for Windows Insiders in the Canary, Development and Beta channels to unexpectedly start automatically after restarting the PC. This issue is unrelated to the automatic launch that we tested with Insiders in the Canary Channel and the Development Channel in early February, and which we discontinued in March.
