Windows 11 Introduces New Features and Improvements for Insiders

29 Aug 2025

The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build, numbered 26120.5770 and known as KB5064089, has been released to the Beta Channel. This release introduces a host of updates aimed at improving the overall Windows 11 experience. As part of the gradual rollout, new features, improvements, and a series of fixes are being extended to Windows Insiders who opt into the Beta Channel.

Innovative Copilot+ Experiences

Among the most anticipated updates is the new Copilot+ PC experience, designed to integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365 applications through Click to Do. A notable feature is the new ability in Excel to convert data into tables. Using Win + Click, Win + Q, or a simple right swipe, users can now highlight tables and send them to Excel, enhancing productivity without the need for retyping. Currently, this feature is available on Snapdragon-powered PCs, with AMD and Intel support expected soon. Users should note that it requires the latest Excel app and an active Microsoft 365 subscription, and it is not yet available in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Additionally, the Click to Do feature now displays Microsoft 365 profile cards. When signed in with a work or school account, users can view contact information and collaboration history without opening Outlook or Teams. Again, this enhancement is not yet rolling out in the EEA.

New Features and Improvements

Windows 11 is also introducing a Braille viewer in Narrator, which will support sighted teachers, assistive technology trainers, developers, and testers. This feature provides an on-screen textual and Braille output representation, with the ability to resize or reposition the viewer. Prerequisites include setting Narrator to provide Braille output and installing necessary Braille packages via Settings > Accessibility > Narrator.

Additional improvements include an updated Windows OS package version, improved Windows Share capabilities, and enhancements that streamline app discovery.

Addressing Known Issues

The build also addresses issues users have reported, such as taskbar and system tray anomalies, windowing stability, and display performance. For instance, it fixes the problem where HDR could unexpectedly turn off and resolves audio issues encountered during TV casting.

However, some known issues persist, such as the incomplete File Explorer Home 'Shared' section and temporary file storage scanning under Settings > System > Storage. Users facing audio stops or Device Manager displaying yellow exclamation marks can resolve these with local driver updates. Similarly, Xbox Controller Bluetooth connections causing bugchecks have a workaround involving driver updates through Device Manager.

As updates are delivered in a preview servicing format, it's pivotal for Windows Insiders to regularly check Settings > Windows Update for new rollouts, as some features may be removed or modified based on user feedback.
