Windows Insider Canary Channel Gets a Bug Fixing Update

Microsoft has just dropped the Windows 11 Insider build 27823 on the Canary Channel. This update mostly brings bug fixes, but there are some accessibility improvements for File Explorer as well.

With this build, text scaling will now be applied to the File Open/Save dialogs and the copy dialogs in File Explorer. These accessibility improvements are also included in the optional March update for Windows 11 version 23H2 that was released yesterday.

Here are some notable bug fixes that Microsoft also addressed in the Windows 11 Canary build 27823:

• Fixed an issue where clicking Sign in Options was crashing for some Insiders.
• Fixed an issue where File Explorer might be blank and not render if you ALT + Tab to it from a minimized state in the latest Canary builds.
• Fixed an issue that could cause Settings to crash when interacting with Bluetooth & Devices > Cameras.
• Fixed an issue that was causing certain apps to fail to install in Builds 27813+.
• Fixed an issue where non-admin users couldn’t uninstall printers that they’d added.

That’s it for the main changes in this latest Canary build. Despite this Channel receiving more advanced 27xxx series builds, it continues to lag behind the Dev and Beta Channels when it comes to new features. The Windows Insider team says that the Canary Channel gets “the latest platform changes early in the development cycle,” but there’s hardly anything exciting about that right now.
