A new day this week and another Windows 11 update. Microsoft releases Windows 11 build 22000.776 for the Preview Channel release. Every month Microsoft releases a preview build and this is a preview of the upcoming monthly preview build for Windows Insiders. The same build will probably be released to non-insiders next week. Read on to know more about the Windows 11 Build 22000.776 Update.
Preview builds of monthly rollup are mainly used for testing and feedback purposes so that the next monthly update can be bug-free. And preview builds are released to every user, however, the update is optional. But a preview of preview builds (like this one) is released to Windows Insiders before it releases to non-insiders at a later date. Both these updates carry almost similar changes.
The latest Windows 11 update for Insiders comes with build 22000.776 (KB5014668) in the Release Preview Channel. Preview updates are non-security updates that come with bug fixes from the last monthly rollout. The new Windows 11 build brings some server related changes. You can check the full official changelog below.
Improvements and Bug Fixes
- New! We added IP address auditing for incoming Windows Remote Management (WinRM) connections in security event 4262 and WinRM event 91. This We fixed an issue that fails to log the source IP address and machine name for a remote PowerShell connection.

- New! We introduced search highlights:
Search highlights will present notable and interesting moments of what’s special about each day—like holidays, anniversaries, and other educational moments in time both globally and in your region. To see search highlights, click or tap on the search icon on your taskbar.
For enterprise customers, search highlights will also feature the latest updates from your organization and suggest people, files, and more.
Search highlights will roll out to Windows 11 customers over the next several weeks. We are taking a phased and measured approach. Broad availability will occur in the coming months. For group configuration information, see Group configuration: search highlights in Windows.

- We fixed an issue that causes a device that has a Japanese system locale to stop working when you disable end-user-defined characters (EUDCs).

- We fixed an issue that prevents the use of Encrypted File System (EFS) files over a Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) connection.
- We fixed an issue that causes a domain controller to incorrectly write Key Distribution Center (KDC) event 21 in the System event log. This occurs when the KDC successfully processes a Kerberos Public Key Cryptography for Initial Authentication (PKINIT) authentication request with a self-signed certificate for key trust scenarios (Windows Hello for Business and Device Authentication).
- We fixed an issue that prevents Bluetooth from reconnecting to some audio devices after you restart the devices.

- We fixed an issue that causes Microsoft NTLM authentication using an external trust to fail. This issue occurs when a domain controller that contains the January 11, 2022 or later Windows update services the authentication request, is not in a root domain, and does not hold the Global Catalog role. The affected operations might log the following errors:
- The security database has not been started.
- The domain was in the wrong state to perform the security operation.
- 0xc00000dd (STATUS_INVALID_DOMAIN_STATE).
- We fixed an issue that causes the LocalUsersAndGroups configuration service provider (CSP) policy to fail when you modify the built-in Administrators group. This issue occurs if the local Administrator account isn’t specified in the membership list when you perform a replace operation.

- We updated the Start menu to display Windows PowerShell when you right-click (Win + X) the Start button after you have uninstalled Windows Terminal.

- We fixed an issue that caused the Microsoft Surface Dial customization settings page to stop working.
