Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Build 26300.7760 to Windows Insiders in the dev channel, which includes several updates such as new emoji additions from Emoji 16.0 and improved camera controls for supported webcams through the Settings app. The build also addresses some visual issues, including reducing taskbar flicker and improving security prompts on high-DPI displays. To access these new features, users must have "receive the latest updates as they're available" enabled in Windows Update settings, which can take a few hours to roll out after enabling it. Some users may experience quirks such as an occasional "camera not found" error or issues with older third-party keyboards displaying the new emoji glyphs until firmware is updated.

Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7755 has been released to Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel. The new release comes with several fixes, including the taskbar disappearing and reappearing when auto-hide is enabled, as well as visual glitches and CPU spikes caused by graphics driver conflicts. The update also adds new emojis, camera pan/tilt sliders for supported webcams, and performance tweaks that improve battery life on laptops and reduce delays in rendering Windows Security dialogs. While the new emoji set may be a nice addition, it is not a crucial feature, as third-party keyboards can provide similar functionality.

NanaZip 6.0 Preview 2 is an open‑source archiver that builds on 7‑Zip’s engine while adding dark mode, Mica effects, per‑monitor DPI scaling, and solid MSIX sandboxing for cleaner installs. The preview restores a reliable Explorer context‑menu entry and bundles modern codecs such as Brotli, Zstandard, and Fast‑LZMA2, plus an expanded set of hash algorithms for integrity checks. Security hardening includes Control Flow Guard, CET shadow‑stack support, strict handle validation, and disabled dynamic code generation to curb malicious behavior. Power users will appreciate the UI polish and extra safeguards, but occasional flicker bugs and extraction path quirks mean it’s still a preview rather than a full replacement for stable 7‑Zip.

Microsoft has released KB5074110, an update for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 that refreshes the boot files and pre-loads the latest Secure Boot certificates to prevent a "Secure Boot violation" error due to expiring certificates in June 2026. The update replaces the old 2011-signed bootmgfw.efi file with a fresh 2023-signed version, updates the Secure Boot Signature Database (DB), and leaves older systems without the new certificate unchanged. If you're running Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2 and use Secure Boot, it's recommended to install KB5074110 via Windows Update now.

The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build, 28020.1546, has been released to the Canary channel with several minor improvements and fixes. The main change is a fix for apps that struggle to open files stored on OneDrive or Dropbox due to a race condition between cloud sync clients and Windows file pickers. Insiders can choose to toggle this update off if they prefer to stay on the previous build, as it's considered a minor release suitable for experimentation and testing. While it's recommended to give the new build a try, users are advised to monitor the Feedback Hub for any potential issues and be prepared to roll back if necessary.
