Microsoft has published a new construction of Windows 11 25H2, La Build 26200.5702. It is offered to the PCs registered on the DEV channel of the Windows Insider program via the KB5062653 update.
It introduces several major innovations, notably for COPILOT+ PCs and provides safety, accessibility and user experience improvements.
New action IA “Describe the image” for Copilot+ PCs
One of the key new features is the integration of the action “describe the image” in the functionality Click to Do. It generates detailed descriptions of images, graphics or tables.
This function runs locally on PCs, guaranteeing data confidentiality. It is first available for Copilot+ PCs equipped with Snapdragon chips, with AMD and Intel compatibility scheduled soon.
Security: “Administrator protection” makes its entry
Microsoft introduces a new safety feature called Administrator protection. It allows administrative accounts to keep their privileges while limiting the risks linked to floating rights. This protection, deactivated by default, can be activated in Windows security or via group strategy.
The user experience also improves with a recasting of the confidentiality dialogue boxes.
When an application requires access to the camera, microphone or location, a system window is displayed in the center of the screen, with an darkened background to attract attention.
Smart App Control et PowerShell
Testers of the DEV and BETA channels having the Smart App Control in evaluation mode can see its automatic activation. This intelligent protection against potentially undesirable applications can be deactivated in Windows security.
As Ginjfo had announced a few days ago, PowerShell 2.0 is officially obsolete and begins to be deleted from the insider versions.
Many technical corrections and improvements
This build corrects several bugs in key components of Windows 11. Here is the list of the main advances deployed
- File explorer: Best stability, better management of pinned icons, and optimization of downloaded zip files.
- Task bar: Disappearance of erratic preview windows.
- Live subtitles: Opacity settings operate normally.
- Dynamic lighting: Correction of a bug, making the background controller of the dynamic lighting too greedy in processor resources after unlocking the machine.
- Graphics and games: Best synchronization of the cursor with certain full screen games after an Alt+Tab.
- Settings and language: Correction of crashes when navigation in language settings.
- Notifications: Applications are displayed again correctly in the foreground after interaction with an alert.
Known problems: Start menu, Xbox controllers, Chinese IME …
Finally being on the DEV channel, this construction is not recommended for production PCs. Some bugs are known. For example, it is possible to be the victim of errors in the group strategy editor, touch concerns in the new start menu, or even crashes when using Xbox controllers via Bluetooth.
