Microsoft is rolling out a new Windows 11 preview build in the Canary Channel. Windows Insiders can download build 27902, which offers only a few fixes for File Explorer, Camera, and general improvements (the Vista startup sound remains unaddressed). Sadly, no new features in this one. Here is the changelog:
- [General]
- This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes that improve the overall experience for Insiders running this build on their PCs.
- [File Explorer]
- Fixed an issue in the previous build where File Explorer might fail to persist any view changes. This also impacted desktop icons, which could unexpectedly move or change size back to the default. Jen is happy this bug is fixed.
- [Camera]
- Fixed an issue that could cause the Camera app to get stuck on some PCs in the last couple of builds after switching between the front and back camera.
And here is the list of known bugs:
- [General]
- [IMPORTANT NOTE FOR COPILOT+ PCs] If you are joining the Canary Channel on a new Copilot+ PC from the Dev Channel, Release Preview Channel or retail, you will lose Windows Hello pin and biometrics to sign into your PC with error 0xd0000225 and error message “Something went wrong, and your PIN isn’t available”. You should be able to re-create your PIN by clicking “Set up my PIN”.
- [NEW] There’s an issue starting with the previous build, causing a small number of Insiders to experience repeated bugchecks with KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE after upgrading. This may occur when connecting to a VPN.
- This Canary Channel flight comes with a delightful blast from the past and will play the Windows Vista boot sound instead of the Windows 11 boot sound. The fix should be coming in a future Canary Channel flight soon.
- [Settings]
- We’re investigating an issue in this build that could cause Settings to crash when interacting with the options under Settings > System > Power & Battery.
- [NEW] We’re investigating an issue where some of the apostrophes across text in Settings and settings-related dialogs are not displaying correctly and are showing random characters.
- [Remote Desktop]
- You may see extreme graphical distortion and rendering issues using Remote Desktop on Arm64 PCs in this build.
