Microsoft has just unveiled the latest Windows 11 Build 26080, available for Canary and Dev Channels, bringing a host of exciting updates and improvements. Among the highlights of this update is the introduction of a revamped Copilot user interface (UI), which now functions as a regular app, allowing users to freely move it around the desktop.
One of the most anticipated features in this preview is the ability to undock the Copilot side panel, providing users with a more versatile experience. Similar to installing the web version of Copilot as an app through browsers like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, this new UI enhancement offers greater flexibility and ease of use.
Additionally, Microsoft is introducing a new plugin that integrates Power Automate with Copilot, further expanding its capabilities. Power Automate, a powerful tool for automating tasks across various apps and services, now allows users to manipulate Excel and PDF documents seamlessly.
Another significant update in this preview is the introduction of a unified version of the Teams app for Windows 11. This streamlined experience replaces separate versions for work and school accounts, allowing users to seamlessly switch between different account types. However, users still have the option to launch different instances of the app to interact with personal and work accounts simultaneously, providing greater flexibility and convenience.
Improvements to File Explorer are also part of this update, with enhancements to the dialog when extracting conflicting files, providing users with more options and control over file management.
Furthermore, this preview addresses several issues, including crashing and high resource usage problems, as well as fixes for issues related to the Home page, Details pane, and compression. The Quick Settings menu, accessible through the Taskbar, now includes a convenient option to toggle live captions on and off, enhancing accessibility for users.
In terms of visual enhancements, the progress bar in the app icon has been updated to improve clarity and usability.
Additionally, users will find an updated “Additional printer settings” section, which now includes an option to rename the printer without relying on the Control Panel. This builds upon previous enhancements, such as the ability to pause print jobs, further improving the printing experience on Windows 11.
Overall, Windows 11 24H2 Build 26080 brings a wealth of new features, enhancements, and fixes, catering to the evolving needs of users and further refining the Windows 11 experience. As Microsoft continues to iterate and improve upon its latest operating system, users can expect even more exciting updates in the future.
