Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.1912 (Dev Channel)
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.1912 (KB5043168) to the Dev Channel.
Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*
[General]
- This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes that improve the overall experience for Insiders running this build on their PCs.
[Mobile Hotspot]
- The Windows Mobile Hotspot has been enhanced to support 6 GHz connections. The new band requires chips that support the feature and updated drivers; not all chips that support 6 GHz Wi-Fi in general will support the 6 GHz mobile hotspot. The change will be visible under Settings > Network & internet > Mobile hotspot when you edit the mobile hotspot properties. For compatibility with existing devices, the mobile hotspot will only use 6 GHz when explicitly enabled.

- Its Settings page might have a white background when it should not.
- It stops responding when you switch from a high contrast theme to a normal theme.
- [Input Method Editor (IME)] When a combo box has input focus, a memory leak might occur when you close that window.
- [WebView2 apps] They do not detect input from Xbox 360 and Bluetooth controllers.
