Hi all, Last Wednesday Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27758 to the Canary Channel.
This Build brings some nice stuff, shared camera usage, this enables Windows Hello to use the camera for elevation even during a video call nice!
Win32 app updates via the store make keeping apps up2date way easier
Happy Upgrades!!
What’s new in Build 27758
Windows Camera Advanced Configurations
We have introduced a new advanced camera options page in this build. Just navigate to a camera under Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Cameras and click the edit button for advanced camera options.
This new advanced camera options page will provide you with the following two configurations for your camera:
- Multi-app camera: Allows multiple applications to access the camera stream simultaneously, developed with the Hard-of-Hearing community to enable video streaming to both a sign language interpreter and the end audience at the same time.
- Basic camera: Enables basic camera functionality for improved debugging, recommended as a last resort when your camera is not functioning correctly. This feature was developed in collaboration with Microsoft support agents.
Coming in a future build, we plan to introduce a third option here for selecting a media type. This feature will let you choose different media types like resolution and frame rate, with the default setting being “Let Windows Choose” for optimal experience.
FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Devices and Drivers > Device Camera or Webcams.
Fixes
[File Explorer]
- Did some work so the search box in File Explorer shouldn’t draw off the end of the window anymore.
[Taskbar]
- Fixed an issue where right clicking on app icons in the taskbar might crash explorer.exe in the previous flight.
[Input]
- Fixed an issue for some people where the mouse cursor would become invisible when hovering over text fields in certain apps.
[Desktop]
- Fixed an issue where your desktop background might not show correctly sometimes with multiple monitors (showing big black areas).
[Task Manager]
- We are beginning to roll out a fix for the issue where if you resized Task Manager to be larger while settings was open, the Mica background wouldn’t align with the new window size.
[Narrator]
- Fixed an issue in the previous flight which caused Narrator to crash on launch if you used one of the natural voices (like Jenny).
[Audio]
- Fixed an underlying issue which could lead to USB audio devices going to sleep after 1 minute of idle time, and not waking up until the PC was rebooted.
- Fixed an underlying issue which could lead you to unexpectedly hear a mute or unmute noise in certain headsets.
[Settings]
- Fixed an issue which could cause Settings to crash when selecting your default audio device.
[Other]
- Fixed an issue which could cause an unexpected black line along the top border of a window.
Known issues
[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”.
- We’re investigating reports that some Insiders are still experiencing rollbacks (with error code 0xc190010) when attempting to install the latest Canary builds.
- We’re working on the fix for an underlying issue causing accent colored window borders to not be not 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.
- [NEW] We’re working on the fix for an issue causing some Insiders to see a bugcheck with error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA starting with the previous flight.
Microsoft Store Update
For Win32 apps that are “provided and updated” by their publishers, the Microsoft Store will now support updating directly in the Store. Previously, these apps could only be updated outside of the Microsoft Store. Insiders can head to the Downloads page and click Get Updates. If any installed apps of this type have updates, it’ll be displayed on the pending list. You can perform the update by clicking the update button; it won’t start automatically.
You can also head to the product page and see an update button.
Windows Insiders across all channels running Microsoft Store version 22411.1401.x.x and higher will see this improvement.
