Build 26220.6972 (KB5067106) for Windows 11 25H2 brings more dark mode changes (Dev)

Windows 11 update KB5067106 for versions 24H2 and 25H2 adds dark mode support for Folder Options, subtly tweaks the Start menu’s account display, and integrates mobile device settings into a single settings page.
This rollout also ships multiple stability and bug fixes for File Explorer, graphics, Windows Update, and printing.

Microsoft is now rolling out Windows 11 build 26220.6972 as the update KB5067106 for version 25H2 through the Dev Channel of the Windows Insider Program. This preview brings more improvements for the dark mode implementation for File Explorer and various other improvements for existing features.

At the same time, Windows 11 24H2 is getting build 26120.6972 with the knowledge base number (KB5067106) as version 25H2 with the same improvements in the Beta Channel, because they are identical operating systems.

According to the new announcements, the Windows 11 update KB5067106 continues the work to complete the dark mode implementation for File Explorer with new elements supporting this color mode.

In addition, the Start menu is getting some subtle tweaks in the account’s menu, the Game Pass gets an updated description, and the mobile features settings now appear on the “Mobile devices” page.

Finally, this release also pushes various fixes for File Explorer, graphics, Windows Update, and more.

Mobile Device settings

Although you have been able to control the mobile device settings from the Settings app, this action required you to open a secondary page detached from the experience.

However, starting with this rollout, Microsoft is incorporating the option to connect your mobile devices from within the “Mobile devices” page.

Other fixes and changes

In addition to the new features and improvements, Windows 11 builds 26220.6972 and 26120.6972 ship various fixes, including:

File Explorer: Fixed a Catastrophic Error (0x8000FFFF) that could occur when extracting large (1.5GB+) archive files, and resolved a bug where an old white toolbar might randomly appear.
Graphics: Addressed a recent issue causing red tinting in videos and games, fixed stuck onscreen content when background apps updated, and improved monitor mode queries to reduce stuttering on high-resolution displays.
Windows Update: Fixed an issue that could cause update installations to fail with error 0x800f0983.
Other: Resolved an Outlook hang when credential prompts became unresponsive, fixed Remote Credential Guard failures between Windows 11 and Server 2022 (or earlier), and addressed a bug causing print preview to freeze in Chromium-based browsers.

Microsoft also notes known issues with these updates, including:

Taskbar: Preview animations have been temporarily disabled due to interference with window sharing. Microsoft is also working to resolve a bug that prevents the Start menu from opening on click for some devices, although it remains accessible through the Windows key. (This may also affect the Notification Center.)
Gaming: Some devices using Xbox controllers through Bluetooth are encountering bugchecks.
File Explorer: In dark mode, the copy dialog may flash when toggling details, and scaled text can cause the scrollbar and footer to disappear, leaving a white block.
General: Text actions using Phi Silica in Click to Do and Recall are currently broken in this build.
