Windows 11 Insider Preview

Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.4161 (KB5058515) to the Beta Channel for Insiders running Windows 11, version 24H2, on Friday, May 23, 2025. The build comes with various innovative features that indicate users will get better productivity and customization options with the newer version of Windows.

What features come with KB5058515?

Draft with Copilot in Word

Microsoft 365 users will now get a new text action in Click to Do, letting them instantly draft content via Copilot in Word. To invoke Draft with Copilot in Word feature, press Windows + Click on selected text to transform your idea into a draft. The feature will roll out in the coming weeks, and you need a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription to use it.

Customizable Lock Screen Widgets

This release lets you choose and personalize widgets on your lock screens. You can include widgets like Weather, Sports, Traffic, Watchlist, and more. To add, remove, or rearrange them, press Windows + I to launch Settings, then select Personalization>Lock Screen>Your widgets.

Multiple dashboards in Widgets

You get multi-board widget support, which will allow you to switch between personalized dashboards like the widgets panel and the My feed view through a new navigation bar on the left side of the screen.

New options in the Open with… dialog box

With this build, you will receive recommendations from the Microsoft Store app when you right-click and select Open with to help you find the right app for opening files. These recommendations will be marked with the Store icon.

New PC-to-PC Migration preview

Microsoft is rolling out the new PC-to-PC migration experience in Windows via the Windows Backup app, allowing you to preview file and settings transfer. In the future, we can expect full support while transferring files and settings from an old PC to a new one during the PC setup process.

Here is the list of fixes that will be gradually rolled out to the Beta channel:

[Start menu]

  • There have been some underlying improvements which should help address the issue where clicking your profile picture wasn’t opening the Account Manager for some Insiders after the latest flights. If you’re continuing to experience issues, please file feedback.

[Task Manager]

  • Fixed an issue where after adding the new CPU Utility column, you might notice that System Idle Process always showed as 0.
  • Fixed an issue where the CPU graphs in the Performance page were still using the old CPU utility calculations.

[Narrator]

  • Fixed an issue where the Describe image feature of narrator wasn’t working.

[Voice Access]

  • Fixed an issue where support for more descriptive and flexible language on Copilot+ PCs wasn’t working as expected.

Known issues

[General]

  • After you do a PC reset under Settings > System > Recovery, your build version may incorrectly show as Build 26100 instead of Build 26120. This will not prevent you from getting future Beta Channel updates, which will resolve this issue.
  • The option to reset your PC under Settings > System > Recovery will not work on this build.
  • [NEW] Starting in the last flight, when Virtualization Based Security is enabled, applications dependent on virtualization, such as VMware Workstation, lose the ability to run unless the “Windows Hypervisor Platform” Windows optional component is installed on the system. Previously, installing the optional component was not required.

[Xbox Controllers]

  • Some Insiders are experiencing an issue where using their Xbox Controller via Bluetooth is causing their PC to bugcheck. Here is how to resolve the issue. Open Device Manager by searching for it via the search box on your taskbar. Once Device Manager is open, click on “View” and then “Devices by Driver”. Find the driver named “oemXXX.inf (XboxGameControllerDriver.inf)” where the “XXX” will be a specific number on your PC. Right-click on that driver and click “Uninstall”.

[Click to Do (Preview)]

The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders:

  • Windows Insiders on AMD or Intel™-powered Copilot+ PCs may experience long wait times on the first attempt to perform intelligent text actions in Click to Do after a new build or model update.
  • [REMINDER] For improved Windows Search on Copilot+ PCs, it is recommended that you plug in your Copilot+ PC for the initial search indexing to get completed. You can check your search indexing status under Settings > Privacy & security > Searching Windows.

[Taskbar & System Tray]

  • [NEW] In some cases, taskbar icons may appear small even though the setting to show smaller taskbar buttons is configured as “never”.

[File Explorer]

The following are known issues for AI actions in File Explorer:

  • Narrator scan mode may not work properly in the action result canvas window for the Summarize AI action for Microsoft 365 files when reading bulleted lists. As a workaround, you can use Caps + Right key to navigate.
  • When your Windows display language is configured with a right-to-left language, the action result canvas displays text from left to right for AI actions for Microsoft 365 files.

[Widgets]

  • Until we complete support for pinning in the new widgets board experience, pinning reverts you back to the previous experience
