Windows 11 24H2 Insider Release Preview Channel Build 26100.1586 (KB504186) is available

Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 24H2 build for members of the Windows Insider program in the Release Preview channel. The build number is 26100.1586, under KB504186. This seems to be a fairly minor release, as it only includes a few minor bug fixes.

Here is the changelog:

Microsoft has been very busy with the 24H2 updates for Windows 11 over the past month. In early August, we noticed that the company released a new 24H2 dynamic update for secure operating system. Microsoft said the update is for “improvements to the Windows Recovery Environment.”

Another Windows 1124H2 update under KB5041178 is also available. This update “improves the Windows Setup binaries or any files that Setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2,” the company said.

Microsoft also released a Windows 11 24H2 update a few weeks ago under KB5040529. This had a number of new features, including Emoji 15.1 support, a new account manager for the Start menu, a way to “drag apps from the pinned section of the menu and pin them to the taskbar,” a new way for Windows to back up a number of sound settings, new content on the lock screen to display sports, traffic and financial news, and more.
