As part of the Windows Insider Program, Microsoft released several preview builds of Windows 11 in early May 2026. Although these releases didn't introduce many new experiences, the company dedicated most of the work to improving existing features.
In the first half of May, the software giant rolled out a new version of the Run dialog with a modern design, File Explorer has received several improvements, the Widgets experience introduced new defaults to reduce distractions, and brought back the ability to relocate the Taskbar anywhere on the screen.
