New Windows 11 26H2 Build 26300.7760 – New Taskbar Animation, New Camera Settings and Fixes (Dev)

In this article, we will talk about the latest Preview Build for Windows 11 26H2 in the Dev Channel, which is the Build 26300.7760.

Starting recently, the Dev Channel is jumping ahead to receive 26300 series builds. This means that the window to switch from the Dev Channel to the Beta Channel is closed once Build 26300.7674 is installed. If you are in the Dev Channel today and still want to switch to the Beta Channel at the last minute, when Build 26300.7674 is offered you can pause updates in Windows Update and switch your channel to the Beta Channel and un-pause updates.

These 26300 series builds will contain many of the same features and improvements as the 26220 series builds that will continue to be released in the Beta Channel. Over time, we will be making behind-the-scenes platform changes in each build so they may have different known issues because of those changes.

In the case of Build 26300.7674 today – this build contains the same features and improvements as Build 26220.7653 released previously.

New Features

New Emoji 16.0

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 Camera Settings

Microsoft is 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.

Fixes in this Build

• 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.
