Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27919 to the Canary Channel. This new build comes with the new settings UI, new find apps section & fixes.Checkout the full changelog below.

Changes and Improvements

[Windows Search]

  • Today, we rationalize and organize Windows Search settings under Settings > Privacy & security under a “Search permissions” settings page and a “Searching Windows” settings page. We are beginning to roll out a change that brings those two settings pages together so you can easily access to all the Windows Search settings under a single settings page via Settings > Privacy & security > Search. The page is refreshed with a new modern visual for you to clearly browse the settings and control your experiences inside Windows Search, with the items listed in a better order.
