A Microsoft made available yesterday, Wednesday (25), a new test version of the Windows 11 for Insider Preview members who are on the Canary channel. The new build is 25982 and adds some new features to the software.
According to the system developer, support for Microsoft’s new generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Windows, called Copilot, was gradually added, in addition to SMB client encryption and more new features.
Copilot on Windows promises to change the way people use a PC. It is possible to use AI to summarize a web page, compose an email, change settings to dark mode, answer questions about the system and other possibilities.
To use the tool, simply click on the Copilot icon on the taskbar or simply press WIN + C. You must be logged into Windows with a Microsoft account or the old Azure Active Directory account to interact with the AI.

With SMB client encryption, administrator users can require all target servers to use SMB 3 and encryption, and if these features are missing, the client will not connect. This enforces the highest level of network security.
See the changelog for build 25982 for Windows 11 Canary below:
What’s new in build 25982
Copilot on Windows* in preview
We’re starting to roll this out, so the experience isn’t yet available to all Insiders on the Canary Channel, as we plan to monitor feedback and see how it comes in before releasing it to everyone.
Availability*: Copilot on Windows in preview is gradually rolling out to Windows Insiders in select global markets. Initial markets for Copilot in Windows Preview include North America, the United Kingdom, and parts of Asia and South America. It is our intention to add additional markets over time.
SMB client encryption
Starting with this build (Build 25982), SMB now supports requiring encryption of all outgoing SMB client connections.
Changes and improvements
[Rede]
Discovery of Network-designated Resolvers (DNR) is a future Internet standard for discovering encrypted DNS servers. Until today, Windows Insiders had to find out the IP address of their desired encrypted DNS server and manually enter it to configure client-side encrypted DNS on their machine. DNR will allow Windows Insiders to use encrypted DNS protocols such as DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT) on the client side without requiring manual configuration. Client-side support for DNR is now available on Windows Insiders Insider Preview Build 25982 and higher. For more information, read this blog post.
[Unidade de desenvolvimento]
ReFS file system block cloning support is now available in the Windows copy engine. O ReFS already supports block cloning, so this feature adds native support for copying actions and APIs on Windows. This feature improves the performance of ReFS volumes, including Dev Drive volumes for build scenarios or any other copy-intensive scenarios. The larger the files being copied, the greater the savings.
[Área de trabalho remota]
We’ve updated Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe) to now support 350, 400, 450, and 500% zoom options.
[Configurações]
If you’re in light mode, show accent color in Start and taskbar toggle is grayed out by design, and we now show an information marker that makes it clearer that the setting is only available in Windows dark mode.
Fixes for known issues
Fixed an issue that caused voice access to fail for Insiders on the Canary Channel when dictating text. Fixed some issues that could cause crashes when launching File Explorer. Fixed an issue that caused the print queue to be inaccessible and display an error if you tried to open it.
Known issues
Some popular games may not work correctly in the latest Insider Preview builds on the Canary Channel. Be sure to post feedback on Feedback Hub about any issues you encounter when playing on these versions.
