Hi all, last Thursday Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27971 to the Canary Channel.
A smooth ride for my Canary Channel devices, some quick fixes for this build it seems
Happy Upgrading!
What’s new in Build 27971
[Notification Center]
- We are extending the functionality of Notification Center to secondary monitors. This means you will be able to see your calendar on any of your monitors as well as the option to show a bigger clock with seconds above calendar. You will be able to open Notification Center on any monitor by clicking the date and time in the system tray of your taskbar.
[We are beginning to roll this out to Windows Insiders in the Canary, so the experience isn’t available to all Insiders just yet as we plan to monitor feedback before pushing it out to everyone.]
Fixes
[File Explorer]
- Fixed an issue in the latest Canary builds causing File Explorer to crash when transferring files to a network drive.
[Lock and login screens]
- Fixed an issue in the previous build where the media controls might not display on the lock screen.
[Input]
- Fixed an underlying issue related to microsoft.ink.dll and relevant APIs, which could result in pen and handwriting not working correctly in apps or app crashes recently due to unexpected exceptions being thrown.
[Other]
- Fixed an underlying issue which was causing protected content playback to fail for some apps recently.
- Fixed an issue impacting the ability to start Hyper-V virtual machines with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on ARM64 devices.
Known issues
[Settings]
- Settings may crash when accessing drive information under Settings > System > Storage. This also impacts accessing the drive information from the properties when you right click a drive in File Explorer.
[Start menu]
- [NEW] Insiders with the new Start menu may experience it unexpectedly scrolling to the top.
[Power and Battery]
- We’re investigating reports that sleep and shutdown aren’t working correctly for some Insiders after the latest Canary builds.
