Microsoft pushed fresh Windows 11 preview builds to the Dev, Beta, and Canary channels today, and the timing matters. Dev and Beta are marching in step under the same cumulative update (KB5065786), which hints at features getting closer to prime time. If you’re testing for your org—or just curious about what’s next—this drop brings practical changes you’ll actually feel in daily workflows, not just under-the-hood fixes.
On Dev (25H2 build 26220.6690) and Beta (24H2 build 26120.6690), Copilot gets more “hands on.” You can translate on-screen text with Click to Do on Copilot+ PCs—select text in another language and Copilot quietly offers a translation in place. There’s also “Share with Copilot,” which works like sharing to Teams from the taskbar: hover a running app, send that window to Copilot, and let Copilot Vision scan and summarize what’s inside. Settings sees polish too: Accounts management is tidied up so adding and managing accounts happens in one spot, with “Email & accounts” now renamed “Your accounts.”
Canary is quieter but still notable: a round of general improvements and a temporary rollback to the older “For developers” view while Microsoft reshuffles Advanced settings. Put together, this release tells a clear story: Copilot is moving from a side panel to a system habit, and Microsoft is smoothing the setup paths that used to slow people down. If you’re planning rollouts or training materials, now’s a good time to test the new Copilot share/translate flows and update your user guides before these changes land broadly.
Follow me for practical Microsoft updates you can use in real rollouts, not just read about.
