Share this post:

Hi all, last today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27868 to the Canary Channel.

Smooth upgrade on all my devices though the installation did take way longer than expected (getting to 100% before the reboot)

Happy Upgrades!

Changes and Improvements

[Voice access]

  • Voice access will now support an immersive in-product experience to announce new features and improvements. It will help you quickly discover and learn more about new features in voice access to try out. You can launch or dismiss this new experience from the settings menu.
New voice access in-product experience for highlighting new features and improvements in voice access.

Fixes

[Input]

  • Fixed an issue which was causing pen input to be non-responsive on some PCs that support pen for inking. This issue may have also impacted some scenarios interacting with touch.

[Other]

  • Mitigated an underlying issue in the previous flight resulting in some apps like Spotify failing to launch and failing to install from the Microsoft Store with an 0x80070032 error.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing Group Policy Editor to not render correctly for some display languages like Chinese in recent Canary builds, causing big blank areas.
  • Fixed another underlying issue which was causing some Insiders to see a SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bugcheck in recent Canary builds.

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”.
  • You may see an Administrative Templates error message when opening Group Policy Editor. If you click OK you should be able to proceed as normal.
  • We’re investigating an issue where the taskbar is unexpectedly not showing acrylic material after upgrading to this build.
  • We’re working on the fix for an issue where audio devices with high sampling (like 192Hz) and multiple channels aren’t producing sound after upgrading to this build. Thanks Insiders that provided detailed information in your feedback!
  • [NEW] When Virtualization Based Security is enabled, applications dependent on virtualization, such as VMware Workstation, lose the ability to run unless the “Windows Hypervisor Platform” Windows optional component is installed on the system. Previously, installing the optional component was not required.

[Task Manager]

  • Search and other options such as filtering in Task Manager does not work.
