Microsoft has released an update for Windows 11 Build 25290, which was released to Windows Insiders on Monday. It comes in the form of Cumulative Update Build 25290.1010 (KB50234461) and contains nothing new, as it is designed to test the servicing pipeline.

Hence, all the bug fixes and improvements that were announced with the earlier released Build 25290 to the Dev Channel are carried over into this. Interestingly, while there are no new changes made in this build, servicing test builds like these before have been known to break some features. For example, in the previous version of Windows, on Windows 10 Build 21292.1010 specifically, it caused issues for x64 emulation on ARM PCs.
What’s new
New Widgets: Spotify and Phone Link
Last week, we promoted a preview of the widget for the Messenger app. Spotify and Phone Link are now rolling out preview versions of their widgets as well. To give them a try, go to the widgets collection in the Microsoft Store and update to the latest version of the apps. Then open the widgets board and navigate to the widgets picker by clicking the “+” button at the top-right of the board to pin your widgets.
As you give these and other new widgets a try, please let us know what you think through the Widgets feedback link in the widgets picker. You should expect to see additional new widgets as more developers create and release widgets for their apps.
Changes and Improvements
[Start menu]
Back in October with Build 25227, we started trying out a small change to the Start menu where some Insiders saw badging on their user profile notifying them that certain actions need to be taken. We concluded that initial exploration in November. Starting today, we are starting a new exploration of badging on the Start menu with two new treatments that some Insiders in the Dev Channel will see. If you see one of these treatments, give us feedback on what you think. As a reminder, it is normal for us to try out different concepts in the Dev Channel to get feedback.
Fixes
[General]
We fixed the issue causing Arm64 devices to fail to resume from sleep/hibernate when running Build 25281 and getting stuck at the OS boot logo.
Fixed an issue where some Insiders may have issues accessing websites and other resources via VPN connections. If you used the workaround documented in this forum post, please reverse those changes once you have this new build installed.
Fixed an issue causing some Insiders to experience freezes when using the browser and certain other apps in recent Dev Channel builds.
[Taskbar & System Tray]
Fixed an explorer.exe crash which could cause the taskbar not to load for some Insiders.
[Search on the Taskbar]
Fixed an issue where the search box would randomly disappear sometimes when you clicked it (leaving a blank space on the taskbar).
Fixed an issue where the search box was shifting to the side slightly when you clicked it.
[Task Manager]
Fixed an issue where the data content area of the Processes page might flash once when theme changes were applied in the Task Manager Settings page.
Fixed an issue where some dialogs did not render in the correct theme when applied from Task Manager Settings page.
Fixed an issue where properties in the Memory section of the Performance page were getting truncated even though there was space to display them.
Reduced the transparency of graph colors in the Performance page, and adjusted the borders, to help make them stand out more.
Fixed a few issues causing Task Manager crashes.
Typing F in the search box should work again now.
You now shouldn’t have to make Task Manager be as wide before the navigation pane appears.
If text scaling has been increased, the search box shouldn’t overlap with the title bar text anymore.
Made some tweaks to address cases where text in dialogs was getting cut off when text scaling was increased.
Fixes an issue where certain parts of the title bar couldn’t be used to drag the window.
[Windows Spotlight]
The following fixes only apply for Windows Insiders who received one of the different treatments of Windows Spotlight that began rolling out to Insiders with Build 25281:
We fixed the issue causing some people to not get a consistent refresh of images on a daily basis.
