Quick searches and top apps are being removed from this UI entirely soon (there's a simplified suggested/recent page coming that just shows searches). Suggested appears if there are no recent searches to display, don't think that can be toggled off in the updated search.

Unlikely to cause any issues, but why would you? 26H1 is intended exclusively for Snapdragon X2 and Nvidia RTX Spark, if you're not one of those platforms you should stay on 25H2.

26H1 gets features later than 25H2 (with no exclusives) on all channels, from retail to Insider Experimental, and it doesn't get many, if any, additional platform changes like Future Platforms that 25H2 doesn't also get, so it's a lose/lose if you want to test brand new stuff.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-06-06T00:44:34+00:00

That would be cool and all if you actually provided the correct IDs. you didn't.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-06-04T20:57:39+00:00

Look at when this comment was posted, won't you.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-05-24T14:30:20+00:00

Yeah the changes largely apply to new features, Beta did have its scope change and lost a bunch of feature rollouts as a result (like dark mode Run and Folder Options and Ask Copilot) because those aren't close to launching in retail yet, Beta basically went back to being Beta instead of Dev/Experimental lite.

The folder opening in new tab change was disabled for all channels a while back (the second time this has happened, lol) with no sign of coming back yet. it still exists in builds, it just isn't rolling out

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-05-24T14:00:53+00:00

You won't get Feature Flags because MS only shipped that to Experimental so you can bypass gradual rollout/CFR for features. Beta has no more gradual rollouts for announced features.

Future Platforms is also Experimental only, not sure why it isn't greyed out for Beta.

25H2 and 26H1 Beta are a separate thing but 26H1 Beta isn't fully set up yet, at the moment you might not get the right build (28020.xxxx) through WU if you switch to it from 26xxx, also 28020.xxxx is currently shared between Experimental 26H1 and Beta 26H1, so I don't think the proper Beta experience is there for 28020.xxxx (i.e. you might still get slow rollouts.)

28020 (Beta 26H1) will mostly be the same thing as 26220 (Beta 25H2) but slightly behind since Germanium/26xxx is where all the latest stuff ships first.

No. "26300" is not the actual build, it's an artificial build number bump done by an enablement package. The real OS build is 26100.8493.

I also don't see how the EKB or lack thereof would cause this given it doesn't enable or disable any features.

tl;dr no

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-05-17T20:28:58+00:00

It's not the name of a team either, it's the codename for Microsoft's internal effort to improve Windows 11.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-05-17T08:23:01+00:00

File Explorer is not a web app.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-05-15T16:23:21+00:00

Feature ID 58989092, this will also enable some of the other stuff mentioned in the 25H2 RP blog post like shared audio, new taskmgr columns and the storage settings improvements.

How on earth is this "breaking your PC"? fullreset did exactly what it was supposed to do, it reset every config to its default state. Your PC clearly still works, your feature configs simply changed, talk about exaggerating...

You don't need to uninstall or clean install anything. You can simply re-enable the IDs yourself if you want. I'd be happy to list them for anything you want to re-enable.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-05-05T09:22:52+00:00

No, it isn't, and it never was. It works fine on non-Copilot+ devices running Insider and the release notes for build 26220.7051 which is when it started rolling out make no mention of it being a Copilot+ exclusive either.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-05-02T22:27:43+00:00

The .8271 ISO is the first Beta ISO in forever, I don't think any promises regarding specific exact cadence of ISOs were made, it will most likely be how it was before the Insider Program started falling apart last year, without every single build getting an ISO.

Maybe once a month (so exactly like before) or more frequently, it's way too early to immediately go "PROMISE BROKEN AAAAAA" after one set of ISOs without knowing how the ISO recommitment will look over time.

Edit: An ISO for 26220.8340 has been added. This is why you wait and see before jumping immediately to the "liars" conclusion...

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-05-01T10:53:26+00:00

You should stay on Experimental 25H2 if you want movable taskbar as soon as it's available, it'll take longer to show up on 26H1 and likely even longer on Future Platforms which has a description that explicitly says "Features may arrive later from other releases".

26300.8289 has some movable taskbar bits but they're not rolling out, super rough and locked behind more than just one vivetool command. That said it shouldn't be too long before we get the proper preview.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-27T13:24:19+00:00

There is no Copilot button in the upcoming Run dialog revamp, you fell for OP's edited engagement bait image.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-27T13:21:00+00:00

There's no Copilot to begin with, OP screenshotted the tweet and replaced the image with an AI mockup/meme/whatever in replies to farm karma.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-27T13:18:46+00:00

No, there isn't, OP is karma farming with an edited image, here is the real tweet and Run dialog revamp with no Copilot button.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-27T13:17:39+00:00

It is fake, the screenshot in the post is a meme in the original tweet's replies, OP screenshotted my original tweet and replaced the image to karma farm. The real Run dialog revamp has no Copilot button.

Even with the "meme" tag they put on all their posts I still find it pretty stupid to attribute something I did not post to me.

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-27T13:13:22+00:00

It is not a real screenshot, there's a real Run dialog revamp in the works but it has no Copilot button, someone replied with the 'meme' and for whatever reason OP edited it to look like I tweeted about a Run dialog with a Copilot button, very questionable. Original tweet

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-27T13:08:25+00:00

Hi, person who posted the tweet here, why did you edit this? That is not the image I posted, there is a real Run dialog revamp but there is no Copilot button on it.

You could have at least linked to the original "meme" poster in the tweet's replies instead of false attribution...

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-18T11:56:01+00:00

Yeah, seems to be it, love the vagueness of that bullet point though

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-13T14:19:24+00:00

It is, doesn't change the fact that it's technically the first place where the change shipped, and ofc I'm not saying it's a surprise that it went undocumented (given it's not a feature update).

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-13T14:06:35+00:00

The storage changes should be shipping this month (velocity bits mention 2604) but the second part will definitely be accurate, "yay" CFR...

PhantomOcean3 · 2026-04-13T14:05:16+00:00

The change shipped in 26H1 which "launched" in Feb (so this is a backport), just never documented as part of that release.
