Windows 11 2026 Update Brings Sysmon In-House, WebP Backgrounds, and AI Narrator

Windows 11’s 2026 Insider update wave adds Sysmon as a built-in feature (enabled via Settings > System > Optional features), refreshes the Settings UI to match Windows 11’s design, enables WebP desktop backgrounds, expands Narrator’s AI image description to devices without on-device AI (using Copilot cloud processing for those PCs), and updates the OneDrive sharing UI to show available apps for sharing links, signaling a broader feature rollout ahead of the 2026 cycle.

Windows 11 Embraces Native Sysmon for Built-In Security Telemetry

Microsoft is integrating Sysmon directly into Windows 11 in preview builds for Windows Insider Beta/Dev channels, enabling built-in, configurable security telemetry that previously required a separate Sysinternals installer. The feature is opt-in and disabled by default; admins must remove any existing Sysmon installation, enable it via settings or DISM/PowerShell, and apply a Sysmon configuration file. While it promises easier deployment and centralized monitoring, Microsoft has not announced a production release date.

Windows 11 adds built‑in Sysmon for native threat monitoring in Insider builds

Microsoft is rolling native Sysmon monitoring into Windows 11 for devices in the Windows Insider program, enabling Windows Event Log-based threat detection with Sysmon’s event logging.
