[General]

  • Resolved an issue that prevented accent-colored window borders and shadows from displaying correctly, along with solving problems related to animations despite settings being turned off in the latest Canary builds.

[Other]

  • Fixed an issue that occasionally caused the Xbox app to fail to launch, displaying a “Please try again” error in the last two Canary builds.

Known Issues to Watch For

As with any update, there are a few known issues to be aware of:

[General]

  • [IMPORTANT NOTE FOR COPILOT+ PCs] Users transitioning from the Dev Channel or Retail to the Canary Channel on a new Copilot+ PC may experience the loss of Windows Hello PIN and biometrics, encountering error 0xd0000225 with the message “Something went wrong, and your PIN isn’t available.” You can recreate your PIN by selecting “Set up my PIN” .
  • The team is actively working to resolve an issue where running SFC /scannow consistently reports errors.

[File Explorer]

  • Minimizing a File Explorer window may lead to rendering issues when restoring it in this build.
