Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on

[General]

When installing an MSIX package either locally or via the web (ms-appinstaller://?source=), we are beginning to roll out a change where Microsoft SmartScreen is used to verify the source of the MSIX package and if it’s safe to install.

[Windows Share]

We are rolling out the ability to easily share content to an Android device from Windows share window. The feature requires you to pair your Android device to your Windows PC using the Link to Windows app on Android and Phone Link on your PC.

[Windows Sandbox]

We fixed the issue causing Windows Sandbox to fail to launch with error 0x80370106.

Fixed an issue where Voice Access commands weren’t working for non-English supported languages.

Known issues

[General]

[IMPORTANT] Windows Insiders joining the Dev Channel on PCs running Windows 11, version 24H2 Build 26100.xxxx will see “(repair version)” noted next to the latest Dev Channel build from Windows Update. This is nothing to worry about as all it means is that an in-place upgrade will happen to update your PC to the latest build in the Dev Channel.

• Adding additional languages or optional features may fail with error 0x800f081f.

[Task Manager]

Navigating between different pages in Task Manager may crash Task Manager.

[Input]

We’re working on the fix for an issue causing text suggestions for the hardware keyboard to not work properly (selecting one unexpectedly concatenates).
