Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5600 (KB5058493) to the Dev Channel, introducing a suite of new features, improvements, and bug fixes aimed at enhancing user experience and system stability.
Enhanced Copilot+ PC Features
A significant addition in this build is the introduction of intelligent text actions within the Click to Do feature for AMD and Intel-powered Copilot+ PCs. Users can now select text using the WIN key combined with a mouse-click or WIN + Q, then drag to highlight a text block. This functionality offers options to summarize the text, create a bulleted list, or rewrite it to sound more casual, formal, or polished. Powered by Phi Silica, an on-device Small Language Model (SLM) integrated into Windows, these actions deliver results inline, with the ability to copy rewrites directly to the clipboard. These intelligent text actions are available for users signed in with a Microsoft or Microsoft Entra account, with English set as the default language and a minimum of 10 words selected. For French and Spanish users, Click to Do currently offers Summarize, Create a bulleted list, and Refine, with full Rewrite options slated for a future update.

Known Issues
Despite the improvements, some issues persist:

– The PC reset option in Settings > System > Recovery is currently non-functional.
– Some users with Xbox Controllers connected via Bluetooth may encounter a bugcheck. Microsoft recommends uninstalling the oemXXX.inf driver as a workaround.
