Microsoft has begun rolling out a set of five new Windows 11 preview builds to Windows Insiders, according to windowscentral.com. The release lands just ahead of the company's upcoming Windows and Surface event.

File Explorer also receives a navigation change: its address bar now accepts the "~" shortcut for jumping to the user profile folder.
Magnifier has been updated as well, letting users type an exact zoom percentage directly into its toolbar.
Microsoft's next Windows and Surface event is only a couple of days away. Many of the largest changes to Windows 11 have already shipped through Windows 11 version 26H2.
