Windows Insider Program testers now have access Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7755 (KB5077201)Which started rolling out on the beta channel on February 9, 2026. The update is based on Windows 11 version 25H2 and is distributed via an enabled package.
Like recent beta builds, the features are divided into two categories: those being released gradually to users who have enabled the “Get the latest updates as they become available” toggle, and changes that will eventually reach everyone in the channel.
Emoji 16.0 is launched
One of the most visible additions to this build is its return emoji 16.0Which is now being reintroduced to Insiders after earlier testing.
The new emoji set is intentionally small but comprehensive, with a new symbol representing each major emoji category. Additions include A tired looking face with bags under the eyes, a fingerprint, a root vegetable, a leafless tree, a harp, a spade and a spade icon. Once enabled, these emoji appear directly in the Windows Emoji panel.
Microsoft is encouraging testers to share feedback on the updated Emoji experience through the Feedback Hub under the Emoji Panel category.
Windows 11 camera management with new pan and tilt controls
This build also expands camera management options in Windows 11. Users can now directly adjust pan and tilt settings From within the Settings app.
The new controls are located below Settings > Devices and Drivers > CamerasWithin the “Basic Settings” section for supported cameras. This update removes the need for manufacturer-specific software for basic camera positioning and gives users more centralized control.
Feedback on these new camera options can be submitted through the Feedback Hub under Device Camera or Webcam.
Visual and performance improvements
In addition to the new features, Microsoft has introduced several improvements that focus on polish and responsiveness. These include improved performance in scenarios such as using the Intuitive View and auto-hiding taskbar, interacting with previously blinking desktop icons, and handling Windows security credential prompts.
Although these changes are less noticeable than the new features, they address long-standing issues reported by testers.
What should Windows Beta Channel users know about build 26220.7755?
