When I restarted my #CanaryChannel PC via the Start menu, it didn't apply the pending 27892 build. Clicking Restart from Settings > Windows Update did the trick. Copilot says "...the Restart path matters..." #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Google’s new Android Canary release channel replaces the Developer Preview Program

Google is changing the way it rolls out pre-release builds of Android to developers and early testers. Instead of signing up for a developer preview program to receive a handful of early releases of new versions of the operating system, users will be able to sign up for a new Canary release channel.

This is similar to the way that Google offers Canary, Beta, and Stable channels for its […]

Downloading, then installing #CanaryChannel Build 27891 right now. So far, so good. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Updating the ThinkPad X380 Yoga to #CanaryChannel Build 27881 has been running an hour, and still isn't done (81% installed). I'd say that's "running long." #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Whoa! #CanaryChannel Build 27783 is taking a long time to DL&install, too. Must be something in the air today... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2025/01/29/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-27783-canary-channel/

The Clock app spawns off two widgets -- Countdown & Timer -- in #Windows11 #CanaryChannel. Screencaps, pinning instrux, and other news follows. https://www.edtittel.com/blog/canary-gets-new-clock-based-widgets.html #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

When I start playing with the latest #CanaryChannel Windows Sandbox, I take a stab at using it for a setup template via WinGet export. Not happening: let me tell you why... #Windows11 #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/windows-sandbox-imposes-interesting-limits.html

Wouldn't you know it? MS adds spellcheck and autocorrect to Notepad in #CanaryChannel #Windows11 in a gradual rollout. And, as usual, it's not present on either of my test PCs. Sigh... #WindowsInsiders https://www.edtittel.com/blog/notepad-gets-gradual-spellcheck-rollout.html

The Settings app gains another Control Panel function: in #Windows11 24H2 (#CanaryChannel) it can now delete Storage Pools. Another brick in the wall! #WindowsInsiders https://www.edtittel.com/blog/24h2-versions-gain-storage-pool-delete.html

In the latest #Windows11 #CanaryChannel feature update, the Teams app finally handles both personal and "work or school" accounts without requiring users to switch apps. Good-oh! #WindowsInsiders https://www.edtittel.com/blog/another-teams-iteration-hits-build-26080.html

Bozhemoi! (OMG in Russian) I hit a mildly familiar stumbling block on one of my test PCs upgrading to #CanaryChannel build 26063. I'm working a two-pronged "fix-it" strategy... #WindowsInsiders #Windows11 https://www.edtittel.com/blog/canary-26063-throws-install-error.html

In a horrible pun kind of way, the lastest Microsoft Notepad release "builds character." Let me explain... #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP #Windows11 #CanaryChannel https://www.edtittel.com/blog/new-canary-notepad-builds-character.html

Energy Saver comes to #Windows11 #CanaryChannel and provides energy savings and controls hitherto limited to OEM utilities. #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP https://www.edtittel.com/blog/canary-26002-gets-energy-saver.html

.#Windows11 #CanaryChannel brings a simplified Wi-Fi list refresh capability to users. Good stuff! #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP https://www.edtittel.com/blog/windows-11-canary-grants-wi-fi-list-refresh.html

When I tried to remote into one of my #CanaryChannel test PCs this weekend, I discovered it was shut down. It took special effort to start it up, too. Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP #Windows11 https://www.edtittel.com/blog/x12-upgrade-quit-halfway.html

Little by little, step by step Dev Home (Preview) keeps gaining features. You can now move widgets around in the dashboard, for example. #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP #Windows11 #CanaryChannel https://www.edtittel.com/blog/dev-home-goes-dragndrop.html

An in-place upgrade repair install is a useful Windows repair/recovery technique. In #Windows11 #CanaryChannel Build 25905, it now comes built in! #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP https://www.edtittel.com/blog/canary-build-25905-gains-upgrade-repair-install.html

OK then, I take the #BingChatBot for an interesting ride in #CanaryChannel. Good fun, and helpful results. Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP #Windows11 https://www.edtittel.com/blog/testing-bing-chat-ai-text-generation.html

Interesting learning follows after reading that #Windows11 #DevChannel and #CanaryChannel just got Photos support for the .WebP image format. Cool! #WindowsInsiders #WIMVP #Windows10 https://www.edtittel.com/blog/canary-dev-gain-enhanced-webp-support.html

A gotcha hooks me on the horns of a dilemma. If I stick with #CanaryChannel I can't check out new #Windows11 features. If I switch (back) to #DevChannel, I must clean install. Aaargh! #WIMVP #WindowsInsiders https://www.edtittel.com/blog/dev-channel-24319-gotcha.html
