Share

Key Points

• Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27768 is released to the Canary Channel, bringing small improvements and fixes.
• No SDKs are planned for 27xxx series builds at this time.
• Known issues and reminders for Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel are outlined.


A new update for Windows Insiders has been released, bringing Build 27768 to the Canary Channel. This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes that enhance the overall experience for Insiders running this build on their PCs.

One of the notable changes is the addition of a New Folder option in the context menu when right-clicking locations in the navigation pane in File Explorer. Additionally, the ability to change time zones is once again available under Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time for standard (non-admin) users.

The update also includes several fixes, including issues with File Explorer, input, graphics, and other areas of the operating system. Some of the fixes include:

• Fixed an issue where the date/time properties of files were unexpectedly updated in some cases after copying them.
• Fixed an issue where File Explorer may sometimes lose focus on the search box while typing.
• Fixed an issue where when you did a search, it may unexpectedly trigger the search happening repeatedly.
• Fixed an issue where the Details Pane icons weren’t responding correctly to theme changes.

Important Notes for Insiders in the Canary Channel:

• If you join 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”.

• Microsoft is working on a fix for an underlying issue causing accent-colored window borders not to be displayed when enabled, shadows around windows not displaying when enabled, and window launching (and other) animations to show even though the setting to show animations is turned off.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel:

• Builds released to the Canary Channel represent the latest platform changes early in the development cycle and should not be seen as matched to any specific release of Windows.
• Features and experiences included in these builds may never get released as Microsoft tries out different concepts and gets feedback.
• Features may change over time, be removed, or replaced, and never get released beyond Windows Insiders.
• Some features in the Canary Channel are rolled out using Control Feature Rollout technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time as Microsoft monitors feedback.

By understanding these changes and reminders, Insiders can better navigate the development process and provide valuable feedback to Microsoft to improve the operating system.
