Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26300.8170 (Dev Channel)

Share this post:

Hi all, last Friday Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26300.8170 (KB 5083632) to the Dev Channel.

In this Dev Channel build, Microsoft makes everyday things smoother: better storage performance, saner UAC prompts, and a long‑overdue FAT32 limit increase up to 2 TB.
There’s also a clearer Secure Boot status view and some nice usability fixes in Feedback Hub.

All of my Dev Channel devices updated smoothly, Happy Upgrades!

Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out with toggle on*

[Storage]

  • We’re increasing the size limit for formatting FAT32 volumes via the command line from 32GB to 2TB.
  • Improved the performance when navigating to see storage on large volumes via Settings > System > Storage > Advanced Storage Settings > Disks & Volumes.
  • Updated Settings > System > Storage, so rather than seeing a UAC prompt immediately when you go to the page, you’ll only see it when going to view temporary files.

[Network]

  • Fixed issue causing Settings > Network & Internet > Data Usage to show large unrealistic values in recent Insider builds.

[Windows Security app]

  • We have recently started to roll out enhancements to the Windows Security app > Device security > Secure Boot experience, which shows green, yellow, and red icon badges as well as new text that reflects your device’s Secure Boot state and certificate status. Microsoft is updating Secure Boot certificates on consumer devices and some business PCs, and you can now check your certificate status with this new feature. This experience is disabled by default on enterprise IT managed devices and servers.

[Feedback Hub Improvements]

  • Thanks Windows Insiders who have been sharing such great feedback about the new Feedback Hub version. As some of you may have already noticed, we’re currently rolling out version 2.2604.101.0 to Dev and Canary. This includes design refinements based on your feedback, such as:
    • Improved the default window size, and now it will remember window size across session.
    • You can now use the mouse back button to go back between pages.
    • If you were seeing less community feedback than usual, that should be addressed now.
    • Upvote buttons for feedback should display correctly for Insiders using the Chinese display language now, … and more.

Please keep the feedback coming! You can share your thoughts under Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Apps > Feedback Hub.
