Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.5770 (KB5064089) has been released to the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders on Windows 11 24H2. This update brings several new features, improvements, and fixes that are being gradually rolled out to users.

New Features in Click to Do

1. Convert to Table with Excel: A new text action in Click to Do allows users to convert tables into Excel format directly from any application.
2. Microsoft 365 Profile Cards: Users can now view Microsoft 365 profile cards without leaving the Click to Do interface, providing quick access to a person's information and past collaborations.

Braille Viewer in Narrator

A new feature called Braille Viewer has been added to Narrator, allowing users to see on-screen textual and Braille representation of output shown on a refreshable Braille display. This is helpful for sighted teachers, AT trainers, developers, and testers who do not read Braille or have limited access to a Braille display.

Other Changes and Improvements

1. Windows Share: Users can now identify apps installed on their PC or available in the Microsoft Store directly within the Windows share window using "Find Apps."
2. Direct3D 12 Update: The Windows OS version of Direct3D 12 has been updated to match the Agility SDK 1.616.1 package contents.

Fixes

1. Taskbar and System Tray Issues: Fixed issues where clicking the date and time on a secondary monitor might open the flyout on your primary monitor, and minimized apps might show duplicate preview thumbnails when hovering over them in the taskbar.
2. Explorer.exe Crash Issue: Fixed an issue that was causing explorer.exe to crash when using ALT + Tab for some Insiders.
3. HDR Setting Issue: Fixed an issue where enabling HDR under Settings > System > Display might turn off after turning it on, blocking users from enabling it.
4. Audio Issues: Fixed issues where audio might not work a few seconds after casting to a TV, and smart card drivers might not work in recent flights.

Known Issues

1. File Explorer Issue: Some users may see the Shared section in File Explorer Home even if there is no content to display.
2. Settings Issue: Settings > System > Storage > Temporary files might get stuck when scanning files.
3. Audio Issue: Some insiders are experiencing an issue where audio stops working and Device Manager shows one or more devices with a yellow exclamation mark, including "ACPI Audio Compositor" and others. A solution has been provided to correct this issue.
4. Xbox Controller Issue: Some Insiders using their Xbox Controller via Bluetooth may experience a bugcheck on their PC. A solution has been provided to fix this issue.
