Microsoft has initiated testing for Windows 11's 26H1 update using Canary build 28000. This build targets platform improvements rather than introducing new features in the existing 25H2 release. Microsoft emphasizes that this update supports specific silicon and continues the annual cadence of feature updates typically arriving in the second half of the year.
Key Platform Improvements
The 26H1 build focuses on refining the underlying platform of Windows 11. Some notable improvements include the resolution of Live captions crashes that Insiders reported, and enhanced accessibility of the Outlook login credentials window. These fixes aim to enhance user experience and address stability issues.
Known Issues and Solutions
Despite improvements, some issues persist in this Canary build. There are reports of an unexpected jump to the top in the new Start menu and problems related to sleep and shutdown functions following recent builds. Microsoft is aware of these issues and working toward solutions in future updates. Users can expect these resolutions as the testing progresses.
