Windows 11 KB5095091 Preview Arrives: Custom Setup Folders, Task Manager NPU Tracking, and Eye-Saving Screen Tint Introduced

Microsoft has officially released the optional cumulative update preview for Windows 11 version 26H1, bumping the operating system to OS Build 28000.2340 (KB5095091) on June 23, 2026.

As a non-security preview, this build gives users an early look at the performance upgrades and features scheduled for next month’s official Patch Tuesday cycle. Packed with upgrades for AI-ready hardware, smarter multitasking, and better eye care, KB5095091 is a substantial quality-of-life update.

Here is everything you need to know about what’s new, what’s fixed, and how to install it.

What’s New in Windows 11 Build 28000.2340 (KB5095091)

1. Custom User Folder Names During Setup

For power users who hate cluttered file directories, Microsoft has added a long-requested feature to the initial Windows setup (OOBE). On the Device Name page, you can now manually specify the name of your user profile folder. Skipping this step will default to the traditional five-character system truncation.

2. Advanced AI and NPU Monitoring in Task Manager

To support the growing wave of Copilot+ PCs, Task Manager now offers deeper insights into your computer’s Neural Processing Unit (NPU).

• New Columns: You can now track NPU usage and the NPU Engine across the Processes, Users, and Details tabs.

• Memory Management: Dedicated and Shared NPU memory metrics are now fully visible, giving developers and enthusiasts transparent data on AI workloads.

3. Screen Tint: A New Eye-Care Accessibility Setting

To combat daytime eye strain, Microsoft has introduced Screen Tint under Settings > Accessibility > Vision.

How it differs from Night Light: While Night Light filters out blue light to help you sleep, Screen Tint applies a solid color overlay to soften harsh display intensity during long working hours. Users can choose from six preset colors or configure a custom shade using a strength slider.

4. Multi-App Camera Support

Webcam conflicts are finally a thing of the past. The update introduces native Multi-App Camera support, allowing multiple applications to access a single webcam feed at the same time. You can now keep your camera active on a productivity tool while simultaneously streaming or participating in a video call.

Key Improvements and Bug Fixes

Beyond the major features, KB5095091 resolves several persistent bugs and refines everyday usability:

• Windows Hello Defaults: If fingerprint or facial recognition is active, Windows 11 will now prioritize it as the default sign-in option on the lock screen, even if you used a PIN or password during your last session.

• Dev Drive UI Upgrades: When creating or resizing volumes in Storage Settings, you can now type sizes directly in Gigabytes (GB) instead of being restricted to Megabytes (MB).

• Fewer Interrupted Menus: Opening the Storage Settings page will no longer trigger immediate User Account Control (UAC) prompts; the prompt is now deferred until you actually try to view temporary files.

• Desktop Wallpaper Fix: Resolves an annoying glitch where high-resolution custom desktop backgrounds randomly turned into a solid black screen.

• Better Standby Battery Life: Optimizations to the Sensor Hub prevent background applications from keeping system sensors awake unnecessarily, reducing passive battery drain.

Known Issues to Watch

While this preview brings welcome fixes, it carries over one known issue from earlier June releases. Enterprise environments should note that certain Microsoft Office applications may fail to launch cleanly when triggered via third-party automation software or document management systems. Microsoft is currently working on a resolution.

How to Download and Install KB5095091

Because this is an optional, non-security preview update, Windows will not install it automatically. To get the update manually:

1. Open Settings ($Win+I$).

2. Go to Windows Update.

3. Click Check for updates.

4. Look for 2026-06 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 26H1 (KB5095091).

A standard system restart will be required to finish the process. This update also bundles Servicing Stack Update (SSU) version 28000.2263 to ensure your update pipeline remains stable for future releases.
