Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 preview build 26200.5600 (KB5058493) for Windows Insiders in the Dev channel.

Full build number: 10.0.26200.5600.ge_prerelease_im.250507-1403.

Reminder: The Dev channel has transitioned to builds numbered 26200. This means the option to switch from Dev to Beta channel will disappear after installing build 26200.5510. If you haven't switched to Beta yet but want to, you can pause updates when build 26200.5510 appears in Windows Update, switch channels, then resume updates.

Builds numbered 26200 are based on Windows 11 version 24H2 and will include many features and improvements available in 26120 builds for the Beta channel. Over time, developers will begin implementing hidden platform changes, which may result in known issues differing from Beta channel builds.

↑ Entra ID Support for AI Features in Paint and Notepad

Microsoft is testing Entra ID support for AI features in Paint (version 11.2503.381.0+) and Notepad (version 11.2503.16.0+) for Insiders in Canary, Dev, and Beta channels. This update enables commercial customers to access AI features previously available only to consumer users. In Paint, Entra ID unlocks Cocreator (generates images by combining sketches with text prompts) and Generative Fill (adds new elements to selected canvas areas based on descriptive input). These tools help teams visually explore ideas and accelerate creative workflows. In Notepad, Entra ID enables quick text summarization and rewriting capabilities.

↑ Copilot+ PC Enhancements

↑ Text Actions in Click to Do for AMD and Intel

Intelligent text actions in Click to Do are now available on Copilot+ devices with AMD and Intel processors. Use WIN + mouse click or WIN + Q to select a text block, then highlight text to see options for summarizing, creating bullet points, or rewriting (e.g., making text more formal).

Click to Do leverages Phi Silica, a small language model (SLM) integrated into Windows. Results appear in a popup window, and satisfactory outputs can be copied to clipboard for use anywhere.

These intelligent actions require: English as default system language, selection of ≥10 words, and Microsoft Account/Microsoft Entra ID authentication.

↑ For Insiders with "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" enabled

↑ Changes and Improvements

• Click to Do:
  • French/Spanish language users will temporarily see only "Summarize," "Create bulleted list," and "Improve" text actions. "Rewrite" functionality will return in future updates.
• Dynamic Lighting:
  • Dynamic Lighting-compatible devices can now be safely removed via the taskbar's "Safely Remove Hardware" icon.
• Settings:
  • A new Settings agent is rolling out to Beta channel Insiders. The feature will appear in Dev channel once machine learning models are configured for Dev, arriving in a future build.
  • Microsoft has added an FAQ section (Settings → System → About) with answers to common PC questions covering system configuration, performance, compatibility, etc. This should help users make informed device decisions.
