Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5670 (Dev Channel)

Hello Windows Insiders,

Today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5670 (KB5060838) to the Dev Channel.

Changes in Dev Channel builds and updates are documented in two buckets: new features, improvements, and fixes that are being gradually rolled out for Insiders who have turned on the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available (via Settings > Windows Update*) and then new features, improvements, and fixes rolling out to everyone in the Dev Channel. For more information, see the Reminders section at the bottom of this blog post.

Passwordless Improvements

We have partnered with 1Password to bring users a seamless plugin passkey provider integration in Windows 11. Setup is simple and intuitive:

  • Install 1Password Beta on your Windows 11 PC.

  • Go to Settings > Passkeys > Advanced options to enable the plugin credential manager.

  • Toggle on support and complete user verification with Windows Hello (face, fingerprint, or PIN).

  • You can now use your existing passkeys saved to the plugin credential manager or save new passkeys.

To use a passkey, go to a website where you have an account with a passkey you’ve saved to your credential manager and select that passkey. Sign in quickly and easily with Windows Hello.

Save new passkeys to your credential manager by going to a website that supports passkeys. Find the option to create a passkey for your account, choose to save to your credential manager, authenticate with Windows Hello, and your passkey is saved.

If you are a credential manager developer, we invite you to integrate with Windows 11 to support customers in their passkey journey. To find out more about implementation detail, go to https://aka.ms/3P-Plugin-API.

FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Security and Privacy > Passkey.

[General]

  • With this build today, Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 25H2. This denotes that Windows 11, version 25H2 will be this year’s annual feature update. As mentioned here, Windows 11 will have an annual feature update cadence that releases in the second half of the calendar year. For more information, see this blog post here.

[Voice access]

  • We are temporarily disabling support for Japanese to iron out a few more bugs.

[Settings]

In addition to the small changes that we made in the EEA region for default browsers via Settings > Apps > Default apps with Build 26200.5603, we’re also making this change:

  • The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it by clearing the checkboxes.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel

  • Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel receive updates based on Windows 11, version 24H2 via an enablement package (Build 26200.xxxx).

  • Many features in the Dev Channel are rolled out using Control Feature Rollout technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time as we monitor feedback to see how they land before pushing them out to everyone in this channel.

  • For Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel who want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you, you can turn ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update*. Over time, we will increase the rollouts of features to everyone with the toggle turned on. Should you keep this toggle off, new features will gradually be rolled out to your PC over time once they are ready.

  • Features and experiences included in these builds may never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features may change over time, be removed, or replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they’re ready.

  • Some features in active development we preview with Windows Insiders may not be fully localized and localization will happen over time as features are finalized. As you see issues with localization in your language, please report those issues to us via Feedback Hub.

  • Please note that some accessibility features may not work with features like Recall and Click to Do while in preview with Windows Insiders.

  • Because the Dev and Beta Channels represent parallel development paths from our engineers, there may be cases where features and experiences show up in the Beta Channel first.

  • Check out Flight Hub for a complete look at what build is in which Insider channel.
