Windows 11 Build 27891: Key Updates and Fixes in the Canary Channel
Microsoft has begun rolling out the newest update for Windows 11, build 27891, to users in the Canary Channel. This release prioritizes system enhancements and bug fixes over introducing new features. A significant change includes the removal of the outdated PowerShell 2.0 from the operating system, reflecting a commitment to modernizing the platform.
Removal of PowerShell 2.0
As detailed in the official release notes, the discontinuation of PowerShell 2.0 has been a long-awaited move. Windows 11 defaults to PowerShell 5.1, with PowerShell 7 serving as the cross-platform successor. Although users could enable PowerShell 2.0 previously, it has been deprecated for quite some time, and its removal signifies a step towards a more streamlined user experience.
Highlights of Fixes and Improvements
This update also brings multiple fixes and enhancements for the devices enrolled in the Canary Channel. Key changes include:
- File Explorer: Resolved a visual glitch that rendered the folder path dropdown menu cut off and hard to access.
- Settings: Fixed issues causing crashes while accessing microphone settings and Bluetooth functionalities.
- Windowing: Corrected the display of minimize animations.
- Task Manager: Enhanced CPU performance metrics and corrected display issues related to the System Idle Process.
- Audio: Restored system sound effects including alerts and volume slider sounds, enhancing user experience.
- Recovery: Fixed problems related to the “Reset this PC”feature.
- Taskbar: Addressed the issue of missing acrylic material on the taskbar.
In addition to the above fixes, this build has also resolved font corruption issues in application menus, improved character displays in Microsoft Word, and ensured that playback controls in Media Player render correctly without distortion. Improvements in LDAP query performance and clearer print previews also contribute to the overall user experience.
