Hi all, Yesterday Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3000 (KB5050103) to the Dev Channel.
Fast and smooth updates on my DevChannel devices, including the Surface Laptop 7th edition (ARM)
The issue on ARM resuming from staandby tiggering a GSOD was fixed last build however slowness/sluggyness was still happeing sounds like this might be solved with this build too.
Playing around with improved search is great, make sure you give it a spin!
Happy Upgrades!
New features gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*
Improving the battery iconography in Windows 11
Introducing new and improved battery icons in Windows 11! These icons have been designed to communicate battery status of your PC with just a quick glance. Key changes include colored icons to indicate charging states, simplified overlays that don’t block the progress bar, and an option to turn on battery percentage.
Battery shown in black, yellow, and green to indicate different charging states.
When your battery icon is green, this shows that your PC is charging and in a good state. A yellow battery icon will let you know that your PC using battery in energy saving mode – this automatically happens when your battery is less than or equal to 20% to preserve power. When the battery icon is red, you have a critically low battery and should plug in your PC as soon as possible. You will see these new battery icons on the taskbar in the system tray, in the quick settings flyout, and in Settings. The new battery icons will begin showing on the Lock screen in a future flight.
As always, your PC’s battery status and more will also be available to you when you hover over the battery icon in the system tray and under Settings > System > Power & battery where you can also adjust the battery level percentage in which energy saver mode kicks on for your PC.
Along with the updates to the battery icon, we are also introducing the ability to show your battery percentage next to the battery icon in the system tray – a highly requested feature by Insiders and customers. To enable this, go to Settings > Power & battery and toggle on the “Battery Percentage” setting.
[We are beginning to roll this out to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel, so the experience isn’t available to all Insiders just yet as we plan to monitor feedback before pushing it out to everyone.]
FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Power and Battery > Battery.

[Input]
After being temporarily disabled to address some issues with Build 26120.2213, we are beginning to roll out a new Gamepad keyboard layout for the touch keyboard in Windows 11 again. This change introduces the ability to use your Xbox controller to navigate and type. This includes button accelerators (example: X button for backspace, Y button for spacebar) additionally the keyboard keys have been vertically aligned for better controller navigation patterns.
New Gamepad keyboard layout for the touch keyboard in Windows 11 that supports the ability to use your Xbox controller to navigate and type.
[Narrator]
We have added new functionalities to Narrator scan mode. Jump to list item (I’) allows you to quickly access and jump to a list item on a page or a document. Beginning and end of element (Comma (,) and Period (.)) allow you to quickly jump to the beginning or end of large tables, lists or landmarks. This is most helpful when navigating through long emails, news articles, and wiki pages. To try these new features, you need to turn on Narrator first (Win key + Ctrl + Enter), then turn scan mode ON by pressing Caps Lock + Spacebar and finally use the new shortcuts – ‘I’, ‘,’ and ‘.’. Please note that scan mode is ‘ON’ by default on most web pages (like news articles, wiki pages, etc.).
[Search on the Taskbar]
Improved support for web search providers in Windows Search for the EEA, including clearer provider attribution in tabs.
[Other]
Suggested actions that appear when you copy a phone number or future date in Windows 11 are now deprecated. With this build, we’re beginning to disable the feature.
Fixes gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*
[General]

Fixed an issue where the File Explorer address bar unexpectedly overlapped with content while in full screen (F11) view.
Improved performance of context menu launches for people when right-clicking on cloud files.
Made a change to help ensure thumbnails for cloud files are displayed more consistently in search results within File Explorer.
Fixed an issue where searching might lose keyboard focus on the text box while you were typing.
[Other]
Fixed an underlying issue which could lead to scanners not being detected by scanning apps, although the scanner was connected.
Fixed an underlying issue which could result in 2 in 1 PCs unexpectedly changing screen orientation when coming out of sleep.
Known issues
[General]
After you do a PC reset under Settings > System > Recovery, your build version may incorrectly show as Build 26100 instead of Build 26120. This will not prevent you from getting future Dev Channel updates which will resolve this issue.
A 0xc0e90001 error will occur when booting into Windows Recovery (WinRE) on Arm64 PCs. This will be fixed in the next Dev Channel flight. For recovery options on your PC, visit Settings > System > Recovery.
[Recall]
The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
Recall can be enabled or disabled from “Turn Windows features on or off”. We are caching the Recall binaries on disk while we test add/remove. In a future update we will completely remove the binaries.
Some users may see a message to “Make sure Recall is saving snapshots”, while the Settings page for Recall shows saving snapshots is enabled. Reboot your device to resolve this issue.
Make sure you update Microsoft 365 apps to the latest version so you can jump back into specific documents.
[Click to Do]
The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
Sometimes additional context is given when using more intelligent text actions powered by Phi Silica.
The intelligent text actions leverage the power of Microsoft’s secure cloud to improve your text results by ensuring prompts and responses are safe and appropriate. This data is automatically deleted. Local moderation to ensure the safety of prompts and responses will be added in the future, replacing this cloud endpoint.
If any of your actions on image entities are no longer appearing, please ensure you have the latest updates for the Photos and Paint app from the Microsoft Store.
[Live captions & real-time translation]
The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
Some Insiders may see a crash on first launch of live captions. Restart live captions if you encounter this issue and you will not see it again.
If audio is playing or the microphone is enabled, switching languages will crash live captions. Stop audio when changing languages to resume captions or translations.
[File Explorer]
If you open a File Explorer window and minimize it in this build, it may not render correctly when you restore it.
[NEW] We’re investigating an issue causing File Explorer to be very slow to close for some Insiders when closing using the X button. This may also impact the other title bar buttons.
[Improved Windows Search]
The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
In this build, the search box on the taskbar does not yet have the same underline and sparkles icon UI that the File Explorer search box has. This is coming in a future flight.
In some rare cases, improved Windows search experiences may not be available and may require a reboot to start working.
In some rare cases, File explorer search might be unresponsive and may require a reboot to start working.
In some rare cases, searching on Outlook while offline might result in some results not being found.
The underline animation in the File Explorer search box sometimes does not stop pulsing.
The tip about the new search improvements appears whenever you set focus to the search box in File Explorer, rather than only once.
Hi all, Last Friday today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2992 (KB5050083) to the Dev Channel.
With this update, we are previewing improved Windows Search with Windows Insiders with Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs.

Some nice added features for magnifier
Happy Upgrades!
New Copilot+ PC experiences
Improved Windows Search
We are making finding your documents, photos, and settings across Windows 11 easier on Copilot+ PCs by introducing semantic indexing along with traditional indexing. Whether it’s searching in File Explorer, in the Windows search box on your taskbar, or in Settings – just type what’s on your mind to find it on your Copilot+ PC. You no longer need to remember file names, exact words in file content, or settings names. For example, you can use your own words to find images by typing “bridge at sunset”, documents by describing what they are about like “Europe trip budget”, or settings like “change my theme”. Thanks to the power of the 40+ TOPS NPU onboard Copilot+ PCs, these search improvements work even when you’re not connected to the internet.
Use your own words to search for documents and images in File Explorer.
Use your own words to search for documents and images from your taskbar.
Use your own words to change settings on your Copilot+ PC in Settings.
Today, searching for files on your Copilot+ PC with improved Windows Search will only work for files saved locally in indexed locations on your PC. You can go to Settings > Privacy & security > Searching Windows to adjust which locations are indexed on your PC or turn on “Enhanced” to index your entire PC. In a future flight, we will support searching for documents and photos stored in cloud storage providers such as OneDrive.
Searching for settings like “change my theme” will work within the Settings app for now. In a future flight, you will be able to do this within the Windows search box on the taskbar.
These improved Windows Search experiences will gradually roll out to Windows Insiders on Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, with support for AMD and Intel-powered Copilot+ PCs coming soon. These experiences are supported in select languages (Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish) and document formats. Supported file formats include .txt, .pdf, .docx, .doc, .rtf, .pptx, .ppt, .xls, .xlsx for documents and .jpg/.jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp, .ico for images. See here for more details.
FEEDBACK for File Explorer Search: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Files Folders and Online Storage > File Explorer Search.
FEEDBACK for Windows Taskbar Search: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Desktop Environment > Search.
FEEDBACK for Settings Search: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Settings > Search Settings.
New text action for Click to Do (Preview)
You’ll see a new text action for Click to Do available on Copilot+ PCs called Refine. To try this out, press Win + Click directly on a block of text or press Win + Q and then navigate to the text you’d like to proofread and refine. When you open the menu, the new action will be under Rewrite > Refine.

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2702 (KB5048761) to the Dev Channel.
Changes in Dev Channel builds and updates are documented in two buckets: new features, improvements, and fixes that are being gradually rolled out for Insiders who have turned on the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available (via Settings > Windows Update*) and then new features, improvements, and fixes rolling out to everyone in the Dev Channel. For more information, see the Reminders section at the bottom of this blog post.
New features gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*
Windows Camera Advanced Configurations
We are beginning to roll out a new advanced camera options page. Just navigate to a camera under Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Cameras and click the edit button for advanced camera options.
New advanced camera configurations page in Settings.
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.
Passwordless Improvements
As part of Microsoft’s commitment to a passwordless future, on Windows, we are launching API support for third-party passkey providers. Microsoft has been engaging with passkey manager partners on developing this capability. We are committed to bringing a passwordless future to all customers – together with third-party credential providers, we will raise the bar on login security with passkeys for all users on Windows.
WebAuthn Plugin Authenticator APIs
We are releasing updates to WebAuthn APIs to support a plugin authentication model for passkeys. In the coming months, Windows customers will be able to choose a third-party provider as an additional choice alongside the native Windows passkey provider while maintaining the Windows Hello user experience. Messages in WebAuthn flows will be forwarded to the plugin and responses are returned to the WebAuthn client applications. This enables plugins to create and authenticate with passkeys when requested by the customer. This model allows plugins to use Windows Hello as a user verification mechanism to enable a seamless passkey experience. You will notice additional user experience updates to the passkey flows and Settings alongside the new capabilities.
If you are a developer for third-party passkeys, we invite you to integrate with Windows 11 to support customers in their passkey journey. To find out more about implementation detail, go to https://aka.ms/3P-Plugin-API.
FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Security and Privacy > Passkey.

Fixes for everyone in the Dev Channel
[Rollback]
We fixed the issue where if you roll back from Build 26120.2510 to an earlier build, you would see an “Your organization used App Control for Business to block this app” dialog when attempting to use or install certain third-party apps on your PC due to an incorrect policy being enforced.
Known issues
[General]
[NEW] After you do a PC reset under Settings > System > Recovery, your build version may incorrectly show as Build 26100 instead of Build 26120. This will not impact you from getting future Dev Channel updates which will resolve this issue.
[Recall]
The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
Recall can be enabled or disabled from “Turn Windows features on or off”. We are caching the Recall binaries on disk while we test add/remove. In a future update we will completely remove the binaries.
Some users may see a message to “Make sure Recall is saving snapshots”, while the Settings page for Recall shows saving snapshots is enabled. Reboot your device to resolve this issue.
Make sure you update Microsoft 365 apps to the latest version so you can jump back into specific documents.
[Click to Do]
The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
Sometimes additional context is given when using more intelligent text actions powered by Phi Silica.
The intelligent text actions leverage the power of Microsoft’s secure cloud to improve your text results by ensuring prompts and responses are safe and appropriate. This data is automatically deleted. Local moderation to ensure the safety of prompts and responses will be added in the future, replacing this cloud endpoint.
Sometimes Click to Do doesn’t highlight any info on screen if there is no content on a connected external monitor in extended mode.
Microsoft Edge Game Assist (Preview)
We invite Windows Insiders to try out Microsoft Edge Game Assist (Preview)!
The Microsoft Edge Game Assist experience in Game Bar.
Game Assist is the first in-game browser that delivers a rich gaming-centric browsing experience—including access to your browser data from your PC and mobile devices. Game Assist is a special version of Microsoft Edge that’s optimized for PC gaming and can appear on top of your game in Game Bar. It’s game-aware and will suggest tips and guides for what you’re playing. It also shares the same browser data with Edge on your PC so the information you care about is always accessible while you play, including your favorites, history, cookies, form fills, and more. Check out this blog post for more details and how to get started using Game Assist!
Hi all, last Wednesday Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27764 to the Canary Channel.
A few small tweaks and fixes in this one,
All my Canary devices upgraded smoothly to this build, Happy Upgrading!
Changes and Improvements
[Start menu]
When right-clicking on apps pinned to the Start menu, jump lists will be shown for apps that have them such as PowerPoint, Word and more.
Jump lists will now be shown when right-clicking on apps pinned to the Start menu such as Word that have jump lists.
[Dynamic Lighting]
When no compatible devices are attached, the Dynamic Lighting settings page will now show a placeholder message and Brightness and Effects controls are disabled.
On the Dynamic Lighting settings page, we have added Forward, Backward, Outward and Inward direction options to the Wave effect, and added the Forward direction option to the Gradient effect.
[Input]
We are beginning to roll out a change where we now hide the IME toolbar when apps are in full screen mode for those who have the IME toolbar enabled and type in Chinese or Japanese.
[Narrator]
We have added new functionalities to Narrator scan mode. Skip past links (N’) allows you to navigate to the text after a link. This is most helpful when navigating through long emails, news articles, and wiki pages. Jump to lists (L’) allows you to quickly access a list on a web page or a document. To try these new features, you need to turn on Narrator first (Win key + Ctrl + Enter), then turn scan mode ON by pressing Caps Lock + Spacebar and finally use the new shortcuts – ‘N’ and ‘L’. Please note that scan mode is ‘ON’ by default on most web pages (like news articles, wiki page, etc.).
[Speech in Windows]
We have improved our speech-to-text and text-to-speech experience on Windows. Users of Narrator, voice access, live captions, live translations, and voice typing might see a message asking them to update their language files manually. The language files will be released separately through Microsoft Store.
Fixes
[General]
Fixed an issue causing some Insiders to see a bugcheck with error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA while using their PC starting with Build 27754.
[File Explorer]

[Input]
Fixed an issue where if pointer trails were enabled, the mouse cursor may become invisible with a black box behind it.
[Task Manager]
Fixed an issue where some HDDs were being incorrectly listed as SSD on the Performance page.
[Display]
Fixed an issue which could result in lag and screen tearing on secondary monitors with full screen windows.
[Other]
Fixed an underlying issue which could lead to Excel sometimes hanging on launch when opening certain files.
Known issues

[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.

Restyle Image and Image Creator in the Photos app
In the latest update to the Microsoft Photos app, we are introducing Image Creator and Restyle Image to AMD and Intel® Copilot+ PCs. These advanced AI-powered features are designed to unlock new creative possibilities—all powered locally on your device for fast and seamless performance.
Image Creator lets you generate brand-new images from simple text prompts. For example, you can type “a serene lake at sunset” or “a vibrant city skyline at night,” and the AI will transform your idea into a feed of images. Whether you’re seeking inspiration or crafting the perfect visual, Image Creator delivers endless possibilities for creativity.
Image Creator in the Microsoft Photos app leverages the AI capabilities of your Copilot+ PC to transform a text prompt into a stunning gallery of diverse, uniquely crafted images.
Restyle Image allows you to take an existing photo and apply a variety of artistic styles. Whether you want to give your vacation photos a vintage aesthetic or turn a casual snapshot into a bold modern artwork, Restyle Image makes it effortless.
Restyle Image uses AI on your Copilot+ PC to give your photos a creative twist. You can choose from pre-made style ideas, like ‘fantasy’ or ‘impressionist’, or create your own to give your photo a new artistic effect.
To get these new features, update your Photos app to version 2024.11120.1001.0 or higher via the Microsoft Store. This update is currently rolling out, so it may not be available right away. Don’t forget to share your creations with us!
FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (Win + F) under Apps > Photos.
New ways to engage with Click to Do (Preview)
In addition to expanding support for Click to Do with Recall to AMD and Intel®-powered Copilot+ PCs, today’s update also introduces new ways for you to effortlessly engage with Click to Do outside of Recall on Copilot+ PCs. You can now engage with Click to Do by simply pressing WIN key + mouse-click, WIN + Q, through the Snipping Tool menu and print screen, or searching “Click to Do” through the search box on the Windows taskbar. These methods will make it easier than ever to take immediate action on whatever catches your eye on-screen.

We’re also working on introducing more intelligent text actions to enhance your Click to Do experience even further. Use WIN key + mouse-click or WIN + Q to select a text block and then drag to select the text that you want. You’ll see options to Summarize or to help you Rewrite your text, so it sounds more causal or more formal.
More intelligent text actions in Click to Do with options to Summarize or Rewrite.
Click to Do is the first experience to leverage the capabilities of Phi Silica, the on-device Small Language Model (SLM) that is built right into Windows. Results from our local model will show directly inline and if you’re happy with the rewrites you can copy them directly to your clipboard for use anywhere. These more intelligent text actions are available on Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs today when your language is set to English with support for AMD and Intel®-powered Copilot+ PCs coming soon.
The intelligent text actions leverage the power of Microsoft’s secure cloud to improve your text results by ensuring prompts and responses are safe and appropriate. This data is automatically deleted. The analysis of your screen is always performed locally on your device. Content is only shared out of Click to Do if you choose to complete an action, like copying text to your clipboard, for use in another app, or sharing an image with Bing for a visual search.
You can continue to use the same image and text actions you saw for the Click to Do in the Recall experience we released two weeks ago as well including on AMD or Intel®-powered Copilot+ PCs too. Click to Do in Recall will recognize text and images in snapshots and offers AI powered actions you can take on these. Just press the Windows logo key and left mouse-click on any image in a snapshot in Recall to get options like Copy, Save, Share, Visual Search with Bing, Blur background with Photos, or Remove background with Paint. And by pressing the WIN key and left mouse-click on any text in a snapshot will give you options to Copy, Search the web, or send email or open a website if an email or URL is recognized.
To use Click to Do, you will need to have Recall enabled on your Copilot+ PC but do not have to opt in to having snapshots saved.
FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Desktop Environment > Click to Do.

Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*
[Taskbar & System Tray]
The more simplified system tray with shortened form date/time we began rolling out with Build 26120.1843 is being temporarily disabled to address a few issues. Thanks to all the Insiders who gave us feedback on this experience.
Fixes gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*
[Taskbar & System Tray]
Fixed a few issues impacting taskbar and explorer.exe reliability.
[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.
Fixed an underlying issue that could lead to the audio on certain audio devices unexpectedly going to 100% on boot or after sleep.
[Other]
Fixed an underlying issue which could lead to Excel sometimes hanging on launch when opening certain files.
Fixes for everyone in the Dev Channel
[Recall]
Fixed an issue where Recall didn’t warn that you must have Secure Boot enabled for Recall to save snapshots.
Improved the experience for submitting feedback for Recall by adding a loading dialog.
Fixed an issue where some users experience a delay before snapshots first appear in the timeline while using their device.
Fixed an issue where Recall won’t save any snapshots if you join the Dev Channel and install Build 26120.2415 after installing KB5046740.
[Other]
[Exporting chart objects] Fixed: An app stops responding when it exports chart objects in PDF and XLSX formats.
[Internet connection] Fixed: A small number of devices cannot connect to the internet. This occurs when a DHCP server response has duplicate DHCP options. This stops IPv4 connections on certain networks.
[Display] Fixed: Some secondary displays might experience lag and screen tearing when a window is in full screen.
[HTML Applications (HTA)] Fixed: HTA optional components (OC) are now in ARM64 Windows PE.
Known issues
[Rollback]
There is an issue where if you roll back from Build 26120.2510 to Build 26120.2415, you will see an “Your organization used App Control for Business to block this app” dialog when attempting to use or install certain third-party apps on your PC due to an incorrect policy being enforced. To avoid this, please take the following steps FIRST before rolling back:
Open Command Prompt with administrator privileges.
Type and hit enter: mountvol s: /s
Type and hit enter: del S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\cipolicies\active\{8E8A94F0-6EB9-42C7-A189-E018C8CF3D10}.cip
Type and hit enter: del S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\cipolicies\active\{36D62F7C-AB85-4F61-8724-744294F24023}.cip
Type and hit enter: del S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\cipolicies\active\{66D7D265-7EDD-47DD-86E4-F7C42CD55A8F}.cip
Then proceed with rolling back.
Note if you update back to Build 26120.2510 after rolling back, you will still need to do this workaround.
If you do not do these steps FIRST before rolling back, your PC could get into a bad state. If you run into issues with Build 26120.2510, we recommend trying the option “Fix problems using Windows Update” via Settings > Recovery which delivers an in-place upgrade (IPU) of Build 26120.2510 instead of rolling back. We expect to have this issue fixed with the next Dev Channel flight.
[Recall]
The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
Recall can be enabled or disabled from “Turn Windows features on or off”. We are caching the Recall binaries on disk while we test add/remove. In a future update we will completely remove the binaries.
Some users may see a message to “Make sure Recall is saving snapshots”, while the Settings page for Recall shows saving snapshots is enabled. Reboot your device to resolve this issue.
Make sure you update Microsoft 365 apps to the latest version so you can jump back into specific documents.
[Click to Do]
The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:
Sometimes additional context is given when using more intelligent text actions powered by Phi Silica.
The intelligent text actions leverage the power of Microsoft’s secure cloud to improve your text results by ensuring prompts and responses are safe and appropriate. This data is automatically deleted. Local moderation to ensure the safety of prompts and responses will be added in the future, replacing this cloud endpoint.
Sometimes Click to Do doesn’t highlight any info on screen if there is no content on a connected external monitor in extended mode.
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.
Downloads page with update buttons for Win32 apps installed from the Store.
You can also head to the product page and see an update button.
