Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2222 (Dev Channel)
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2222 (KB5046746) to the Dev Channel.
Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*
[General]
- If you hold Shift and CTRL when clicking on a jump list item in Start menu or taskbar, this will now launch that item as admin, just like if you were to do Shift + CTRL and click the app icon itself. For example, if you right-click on Windows Terminal, and hold Shift and CTRL when you click PowerShell, it would open a PowerShell window as admin.
Fixes gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on*
[File Explorer]
- Fixed an issue causing the See More (“…”) menu to open in the wrong direction (and potentially display offscreen as a result).
[Input]
- Fixed an underlying issue which could cause the mouse to unlock from a game window on a system with multiple monitors after opening and closing Game Bar, so you couldn’t use it within the game.
[Windowing]
- Fixed a recent issue causing windows to potentially unexpectedly move around after waking from sleep if you had multiple monitors.
[Other]
- Fixed an underlying issue which could lead to Registry Editor going unresponsive if you pressed Alt after clicking on the license information in the About section.
