Microsoft released the Canary 26063 Build to the Windows Insider Program, and with it, Windows 11 users can now get their hands (and PCs) on Wi-Fi 7, which promises incredibly fast internet connections, perfect for streaming, and gaming.
But if you want to game while being an insider in the Canary channel, though, then you need to know that the latest build hasn’t fixed the green screen errors appearing when opening up popular games. Microsoft says:
[IMPORTANT NOTE FOR GAMERS – UPDATED!] Some popular games may not work correctly and cause a bugcheck (green screen) when launched on the most recent Insider Preview builds in the Canary Channel. Please be sure to submit feedback in Feedback Hub on any issues you see with playing games on these builds.

If you encounter an error while trying to play a certain video game while enlisted in the Canary channel, the best solution for now is to send the feedback to Microsoft.
Devs aren’t lucky, either: the Dev Drive issues that appeared with the last build to the Dev and Canary channel, haven’t been fixed.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DEV DRIVE USERS: Insiders on Build 26052+ who have Dev Drives and might need to rollback will need to back up their Dev Drives BEFORE rolling back as rolling back will cause Dev Drives to break and data on them to be lost.

However, the build does manage to come up with dozens of fixes to a variety of Windows 11 insider issues. Here’s what you can expect:
- Fixed an issue causing some Insiders to experience an issue where the network icon in the system tray showed they didn’t have an internet connection when connected to some VPNs even though the internet connection was working. Those impact may have also seen some apps think there wasn’t an internet connection when there really was.
- The fix for the issue causing Build 26058 to not be listed under Settings > Windows Update > Update history like it should is making its way out. It may take another flight or two for builds to properly show up under Update History.
- Fixed a high hitting DWM crash in the last couple flights.
- Fixed an underlying issue with plug and play which may have impacted audio device setup in the last 2 builds. If you’re continuing to experience issues with audio not playing after this build, please file feedback under Devices and Drivers > Audio and sound in the Feedback Hub.
- Fixed an issue where typing too quickly in the Settings search box could result in the results not loading completely.
- Fixed an issue causing the three-finger touchpad gesture for middle mouse click (if you had enabled this in touchpad settings) to not work in some apps.
- Fixed an issue where attempted to use the Move option when you pressed ALT + Space was causing a window to resize instead of move.
- Fixed an issue for Insiders with multiple monitors, where opening a minimized window might result in the window appearing on the wrong monitor.
- Fixed an issue which could cause the clock in the taskbar to stop updating.
- Fixed an issue which could cause the taskbar icons to shift around under your mouse as you moved your mouse across the taskbar.
- Fixed an issue where the “Notify when apps request location” option in Settings under Privacy & Security > Location was reset after reboot.
- Fixed an issue that was causing the Windows Update page in Settings to unexpectedly flash messages sometimes (too quickly to read) in the previous flight.
Please remember that this is not coming to the Dev channel, as the previous 2 builds have. Instead, the Dev Channel with be getting two servicing builds with no new features.
[UPDATE 2/22] We are starting to roll out two servicing updates to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel. Both these updates do not include anything new and are designed to test our servicing pipeline for Windows 11, version 24H2. Most Insiders in the Dev Channel will receive Cumulative Update Build 26058.1300 (KB5036082). However, Insiders that have Virtualization Based Security (VBS) turned on will receive Build 26058.1400 (KB5036080) and may not experience a restart upon installing the update. Arm64 devices, even with VBS turned on, will only receive Build 26058.1300 (KB5036082).
