Microsoft has released Windows Insider Preview Build 29565 to Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel on the optional 29500 build series with refinements that target specific user complaints rather than random features. The Security app now displays color-coded badges for Secure Boot status so owners can actually see their certificate states without digging through menus. Testers will also get smoother screensaver animations on high refresh monitors and a drag tray that stops popping up when brushing against the screen top. 

Windows Insider Preview Build 29565 Arrives With Faster Screensaver And Better Security Checks

Microsoft has pushed out Windows Insider Preview Build 29565 to the Canary Channel on the optional 29500 build series for testing purposes. This update brings specific tweaks to the screensaver, sharing tray, and security status indicators that regular users might eventually see. Power users looking at the raw data will find several targeted refinements rather than a massive overhaul of the core system.

Windows Insider Preview Build 29565 screensaver and sharing tweaks

The Bubbles screensaver gets a velocity boost for those with high refresh rate monitors which is a small but welcome change. Microsoft has also adjusted the drag tray to use a smaller peek view based on feedback about accidental invocations near the top of the screen. This refinement makes it easier to dismiss elements when interacting close to the edge and reduces frustration during multitasking.

Secure Boot status indicators in Windows Security app

A new feature within the Device security section displays green, yellow, or red icon badges alongside text reflecting the device state. Users can now check their certificate status directly after Microsoft updates Secure Boot certificates on consumer devices and business PCs. This experience remains disabled by default on enterprise IT managed devices so organizations retain control over rollout timing. It is a move that brings visibility to security states that usually stay hidden in plain sight.

Feedback Hub improvements in Windows Insider Preview Build 29565

Version 2.2604.101.0 is rolling out to Dev and Canary channels with design changes that address common usability complaints. While remembering window sizes seems trivial, it stops users from constantly resizing the app every time they open it. Mouse users will appreciate the ability to use the back button for navigation while upvote buttons display properly in Chinese display language environments.
