Windows 11 Build 25276 released, new task manager function and other updates

Windows 11 Build 25276 is now available for PC in the Windows Insider Program’s Dev Channel. This is the second preview update this year, and it includes new features like the ability to create live kernel memory dumps in Task Manager and improvements to OneDrive cloud storage in Windows 11 settings.

Build 25276 is not dependent on any specific Moment or feature update, as Microsoft calls these updates "standalone." Microsoft has also released an ISO image of Windows 11 Build 25276 that can be used to directly update any Windows 10, 11 or even Windows 7 PC to this build.

It’s worth noting that Build 25276 isn’t a big release, nor does it bring a ton of new features, but you will notice a few notable changes. For example, Microsoft is introducing the ability to create live kernel memory dumps in Task Manager. This is one of the new "developer-focused" features, with more such changes coming soon.

Microsoft says this feature contributes to the operating system’s existing Live Kernel Memory Dump (LKD) functionality. This feature is an extension of a troubleshooting feature for user-mode processes called "memory dumping". For those who don't know, this feature is useful because it helps you collect data to troubleshoot anomalies.

Task Manager's new core dump feature

For example, you can use it to find out what went wrong when Windows won't start, or for a specific How drivers block specific functionality on your system. To use this tool, simply open the Task Manager > Details page and right-click on the system process, which contains a new option called "Create a live kernel memory dump file."

When you click this option, it will capture a complete live kernel or kernel stack memory dump. You can find the dumps in the LiveKernelDumps folder.

The settings for live kernel memory dumps can also be edited by navigating to the Task Manager settings page.

What’s new in Windows 11 Build 25276

In November, Microsoft began integrating OneDrive cloud storage usage into the Settings app. You can already check for updates to Microsoft 365 apps and services.

Microsoft is now rolling out a new feature that lets you view Outlook attachment data in cloud storage. This change is still rolling out and will appear on some PCs, so not everyone will see it today.

Other cosmetic improvements include a new design for the Windows Compatibility Dialog feature.

New Dialog Design

Microsoft is rolling out a new look for the pop-ups/alerts that appear when Windows detects a known compatibility issue. This dialog now uses Windows 11’s Fluent design.
