Windows 11 Build 22526 released to Insider Preview Dev Channel

Microsoft has released Windows 11 Build 22526 to the Developer Channel. Let's see what the first Insider Preview of 2022 brings.

Currently, Alt Tab in Windows 11 displays previews of all running programs in semi-full-screen mode, where the taskbar is visible at the bottom but the task switcher takes up the rest of the screen. The operating system blurs the background to highlight items on the screen, the problem here is that it's a bit cumbersome as it hides the programs you were using before.

Microsoft leaves users guessing about the window mode, making it hard to predict how it will work. Will it be like the old task switcher in Windows 7? You know, the one that just shows the program icon instead of a preview of each window? Or is window mode just a compact version of the current view, with a smaller thumbnail preview? In my opinion, either version would be welcome.

What's new in Windows 11 Build 22526

Redmond Company is experimenting with search indexing, via Added more locations to speed up the process of finding files in Explorer. The search function caused the built-in file manager to crash, but this issue has been fixed in the latest version. Icons in search results now look better on systems with display scaling settings higher than 100%.

Windows 11 Build 22526 improves support for Apple Airpods, Airpods Pro, and Airpods Max, providing better audio quality for voice calls. The new version corrects an issue that caused the Widgets panel to be blank and also resolves an issue that caused the Widgets panel to not render at the correct resolution on secondary monitors.

Microsoft resolved a bug check that contained a KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error that occurred when a remote desktop user attempted to shut down or restart the computer. Users should no longer encounter error 0x80073CFB when installing the latest Web Media Extension update using the Microsoft Store app. The Insider Preview build fixes another DWM (Desktop Window Manager)-related crash. It's strange that DWM causes so many issues, previous versions had excessive CPU usage issues that users found were caused by Intel driver updates.

The known issues in Build 22526 are similar to those listed in previous builds. Windows 11 Build 22526 doesn't include a lot of changes, but that's understandable since, like most companies, Microsoft has just returned to its normal schedule after the recently concluded holiday season.

We've seen a few app updates released to Stable channel users this week, including a new Photos app, a new media player that replaces Groove Music, and Notes that adds support for dark themes App update (reportedly available in beta channel).

Microsoft plans to roll out a major update to Windows 11 this summer, so there's a lot to look forward to in the coming months. Personally, I would like more optimizations, especially in File Explorer, context menus, and overall performance which seems slightly slower compared to Windows 10.
