Microsoft Releases Windows 11 Insider Dev Build 25276

The second update for Windows Insider Dev Channel users is coming in 2023, where this update will change the OS Build to 25276 which brings a number of new things to Windows 11.

Now, one thing that has changed in this build is the presence of a new feature in the Task Manager, where users can now create live kernel memory dumps in Task Manager.

As in the picture above, in section process user can right click on system processes then click Create live kernel memory dump file which is where when clicked, the dump file will be saved in %LocalAppData%MicrosoftWindowsTaskManagerLiveKernelDumps

In addition there are other changes including updates to cloud storage in Windows 11 Settings, where now if onedrive cloud storage timed out, the user will be notified that they will not be able to send and receive email at outlook.com.

Apart from that, of course there are other things, where one of them is information about compatibility apps in Windows 11, where if the application does not support Windows 11, there will be a notification as shown in the following example.

Then there are also quite a few improvements, including improvements to the Taskbar, File Explorer and others which include the following:

• We are temporarily disabling the updated Windows Security (firewall) notification dialogs that match the Windows 11 visuals that we introduced with Build 25267. We plan to re-introduce this change in a future flight after addressing some bugs.
• Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25267 and later Pro editions no longer allow a user to connect to a remote share by using guest credentials by default, even if the remote server requests guest credentials. This matches the stronger security of the Enterprise and Education editions that’s been in place since Windows 10, to further improve Windows 11 default security. For more information on this behavior and to configure insecure guest authentication to a third party SMB server device that only supports guest authentication, review this documentation.
• Fixed an issue where switching windows through taskbar previews wasn’t working.
• Fixed multiple explorer.exe crashes affecting the system tray.
• When opening a flyout from the taskbar, pressing the Esc key to close the flyout should now return the keyboard focus to the button it was invoked from.
• We fixed the layout issues with the text in the search box on the taskbar when using right-to-left display languages ​​like Arabic.
• Fixed an issue where the selected search style in Taskbar Settings wasn’t persisting across updates. This setting should persist now on subsequent Insider Preview build upgrades.
• Fixed an explorer.exe crash which could happen when opening File Explorer, related to loading your recent files.
• Voice access will now work correctly for entering numbers in the Calculator app.
• Fixed a crash when giving commands to move left and right with voice access.
• Fixed an issue where the “insert text” button wasn’t working when using the Pinyin IME in double pinyin mode.
• Fixed an issue where the widgets board would get stuck open in an invisible state for Insiders in China (and potentially others), causing clicks on the left side of the screen to not work. If you’re continuing to experience this, please make sure to check the Microsoft Store for the latest app updates.
• To improve clarity, when Windows Defender Credential Guard is enabled, when attempting to use remote desktop with default credentials, it will now explicitly say “Windows Defender Credential Guard does not allow using Windows logon credentials. Please enter your credentials”.

As for known issues, there are two new things that Microsoft has also added to its release note page, which includes:

• [NEW] Some users are experiencing longer than expected update times installing recent builds. We are actively investigating this issue.
• [NEW] We’re investigating reports that some Insiders are experiencing freezes when using the browser and certain other apps after the previous Dev Channel flight.

Both will be discussed separately in the next article. Now, for you WinPoin readers who use the Windows 11 Insider Dev Channel, you can just go straight to the page Settings > Windows Update > Check for Update > then download Windows 11 Insider Dev Build 25276 which is available there.
