Microsoft has just released a new version of Windows 11 through the Windows Insider program. This build is offered to PCs registered on the Canary channel and has limited documentation.
In short, we only have official information on the most important and impactful known issues.
Windows 11 Build 2594, the highlights
Changes have been made to the Advanced Display Settings page available at this address
Settings > System > Display > Advanced display.
The dynamic refresh rate can now be activated via a “switch”. Once activated, this advancement allows Windows to dynamically adjust the refresh rate to the selected frequency to save power.
Microsoft adds
We have made small changes to raise awareness of limitations (related to the screen or cable used) that may not allow setting a high refresh rate at high screen resolution. When selecting a refresh rate, you may notice that some refresh rates display an asterisk. This means that in order to select this specific refresh rate, the screen resolution must be changed to support it.
An update to the flyout menu in Quick Settings makes improvements to the cast. Support is available if you have issues detecting nearby displays, repairing connections, etc.
The graphic at the top of the Power and Battery page in Settings has been removed. You can still see a battery usage graph in the Battery Usage section further down the page. Additionally, the Power and Battery Settings page is no longer divided into Power and Battery sections.
There are also several corrections. They fix rendering and touch interaction issues that affect File Explorer’s context menu and command bar drop-down lists. Issues that affect the reliability of starting File Explorer are usually resolved, as are issues that prevent the Japanese and Chinese IMEs from working properly in some applications and in the File Explorer search box.
We fixed an issue resulting in Settings crashing during detailed battery usage. Finally, labels now accompany the new options for adjusting the intensity and increasing the color of the color filters.
