Windows Insider Program members can now access Microsoft’s Windows 11 Canary Channel build 26241. This build introduces a new mouse navigation feature in the File Explorer Address Bar and also brings various improvements and bug fixes.
Changes and Improvements
In this latest update, a notable addition is the enhanced mouse functionality in the File Explorer Address Bar, aimed at improving navigation, showing when you have files or folders selected, by adding a thin border to the selected area.
This build doesn’t just add new features but also addresses several user-reported problems. Bugs found in the Taskbar have been resolved to improve performance, while File Explorer has been optimized for better reliability. Additionally, notification handling has been refined for a smoother user experience.
Ongoing Issues
While build 26241 brings many smaller enhancements, some issues remain unresolved. Users may still encounter problems with the Task Manager and other minor glitches.
Microsoft is currently investigating reports that certain Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels cannot move beyond Build 26040 or Build 23620. While the investigation continues, those affected who wish to update to the latest Canary or Dev Channel build immediately can download the latest ISO, perform a clean installation, and re-enroll their device in the Canary or Dev Channels.
Microsoft is actively working to address these in subsequent updates. For an exhaustive list of updates, improvements, and current known issues, check out Microsoft’s official blog post.
