KB5077201 Windows 11 Insider Beta build 26220.7755 (25H2)

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7755 (KB5077201) to the Beta Channel.

Changes in Beta Channel builds and updates are documented in two buckets: new features, and improvements (including notable fixes) that are being gradually rolled out for Insiders who have turned on the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available (via Settings > Windows Update*) and then new features, and improvements (including notable fixes) rolling out to everyone in the Beta Channel. For more information, see the Reminders section at the bottom of this blog post.

[Emoji 16.0]

We’re starting to roll Emoji 16.0 back to Insiders.

The Emoji 16.0 release introduces a small but thoughtfully curated set of new emojis—one from each major category—designed to resonate across cultures and contexts. With this build, you will see these new emoji available in the emoji panel.

New Emoji 16.0 emoji from left to right: Face with Bags Under Eyes, Fingerprint, Root Vegetable, Leafless Tree, Harp, Shovel, and Splatter.

Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Input and Language > Emoji panel.

[Camera Settings]

We are adding the option to directly control pan and tilt for supported cameras in the Settings app. These new controls appear in the camera settings page (Settings > Devices & drivers > Cameras) under the “Basic settings” of your selected camera.

Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out with toggle on*

[General]

Improved the visual experience and performance for several scenarios including at the bottom of the screen when the taskbar is set to autohide, desktop icons unexpected flashing (and decreased performance interacting with your PC), and Windows Security pop up for credentials.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel

Updates are based on Windows 11, version 25H2 via an enablement package (Build 26220.7755).
Many features are rolled out using Controlled Feature Rollout technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time as we monitor feedback to see how they land before pushing them out to everyone in this channel.
For Windows Insiders who want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you, you can turn ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update*. Over time, we will increase the rollouts of features to everyone with the toggle turned on. Should you keep this toggle off, new features will gradually be rolled out to your PC over time once they are ready.
Features and experiences included in these builds may never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features may change over time, be removed, or replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they’re ready.
Some features in active development we preview with Windows Insiders may not be fully localized and localization will happen over time as features are finalized. As you see issues with localization in your language, please report those issues to us via Feedback Hub.
