From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Windows 11 is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft that was released in October 2021. Starting with Windows 10, Microsoft described Windows as an «operating system as a service» that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality, augmented with the ability for enterprise environments to receive non-critical updates at a slower pace or use long-term support milestones that will only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their five-year lifespan of mainstream support.

As with Windows 10 (since version 20H2), mainstream builds of Windows 11 are labeled «YYHX», with YY representing the two-digit year and X representing the half-year of planned release (for example, version 21H2 refers to builds which initially released in the second half of 2021).^[1]

Windows Insider Preview builds are delivered to Insiders in four different channels. Insiders in the Dev and Canary Channel receive updates prior to those in the Beta Channel but might experience more bugs and other issues. Insiders in the Release Preview Channel do not receive updates until the version is almost available to the public but are comparatively more stable.

On February 3, 2022, Microsoft changed its plans on how they delivered builds for Windows Insiders, with Dev and Beta Channels being «parallel» active development branches, giving an option to switch from Dev to Beta Channel for a limited time. The Dev Channel builds are meant for upcoming and experimental features that may never release to general availability, whereas the Beta Channel builds are the «feature complete» builds that will make its way to the general availability for the specific Windows 11 release.^[46]

On September 2, 2021, Microsoft announced that Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel will receive builds directly from the rs_prerelease branch, which are not matched to a specific Windows 11 release. The first build released under this strategy, build 22449, was made available to Insiders on the same day.^[51]

Aside from the rs_prerelease branch, Insiders in the Dev Channel would receive builds compiled from other branches within certain periods of time: ni_release (builds 22557 to 22616 – 22H2 string in former Dev), ni_prerelease (builds 23403 to 23620 – 22H2 string in rebooted Dev), ge_release (builds 26052 to 26100 and 26120 – 24H2 string) and ge_prerelease (26200 – 24H2 string).

Aside from the rs_prerelease branch, Insiders in the Canary Channel would receive builds compiled from other branches within certain periods of time: zn_release (builds 25352 to 25393 – 23H2 string), ge_release (builds 26052 to 26100 – 24H2 string) and ge_prerelease (build 26200 to 26257 – 24H2 string).

We’re trying out a few different treatments for the top right hotspot (“Like the image that you see”) on the lock screen. You can now learn more about the spotlight image on your lock screen by clicking on the “Like icon” that takes you to the Spotlight landing page.

[Spotlight on the desktop]

We’re beginning to roll out some changes to the Desktop Spotlight icon interaction model for Windows Insiders. You can now quickly and easily discover more information about your background image by simply hovering over or clicking on the “Learn about this picture” icon on your desktop.

[Windows Share]

When you share links or web content using the Windows share window, you will see a visual preview for that content.

Visual preview of links and web content in the Windows share window.

Fixes gradually being rolled out to the Beta Channel with toggle on*

[Taskbar]

Fixed an issue where the window previews weren’t showing when hovering over certain open apps in the taskbar.

Microsoft Edge Game Assist (Preview)

We invite Windows Insiders to try out Microsoft Edge Game Assist (Preview)!

The Microsoft Edge Game Assist experience in Game Bar.

Game Assist is the first in-game browser that delivers a rich gaming-centric browsing experience—including access to your browser data from your PC and mobile devices. Game Assist is a special version of Microsoft Edge that’s optimized for PC gaming and can appear on top of your game in Game Bar. It’s game-aware and will suggest tips and guides for what you’re playing. It also shares the same browser data with Edge on your PC so the information you care about is always accessible while you play, including your favorites, history, cookies, form fills, and more. Check out this blog post for more details and how to get started using Game Assist!

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel

Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel will receive updates based on Windows 11, version 23H2 via an enablement package (Build 22635.xxxx).
Many features in the Beta Channel are rolled out using Control Feature Rollout technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time as we monitor feedback to see how they land before pushing them out to everyone in this channel.
For Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel who want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you, you can turn ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update*. Over time, we will increase the rollouts of features to everyone with the toggle turned on. Should you keep this toggle off, new features will gradually be rolled out to your PC over time once they are ready.
Features and experiences included in these builds may never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features may change over time, be removed, or replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they’re ready.
Some features in active development we preview with Windows Insiders may not be fully localized and localization will happen over time as features are finalized. As you see issues with localization in your language, please report those issues to us via Feedback Hub.
Because the Dev and Beta Channels represent parallel development paths from our engineers, there may be cases where features and experiences show up in the Beta Channel first.
Check out Flight Hub for a complete look at what build is in which Insider channel.

Thanks,
Amanda & Brandon

UPDATED 8/6/2024: As part of the Windows 11 development process, the Windows Insider Program allows developers, businesses, and enthusiasts to access early builds of the operating system to test new features and changes and validate software and drivers before they become available. In this guide, you can track the history of every Windows 11 Insider Preview build for computers, including information about their release date, changelog summary, build number, and more.

The Microsoft Windows Insider Program has four readiness levels: Canary, Dev, Beta, and Release Preview Channels. The Canary Channel includes previews for the latest platform changes early in the development cycle. These builds can be unstable and are released with limited to no documentation, and they are only recommended for highly technical users. These previews will usually include changes the company may be working on for future versions of the operating system.

The Dev Channel is for advanced users since previews may contain some bugs. Typically, these builds are unstable. You will encounter errors and problems and may have to use workarounds to resolve problems. This flight will include the latest changes to the current version of the operating system.

The Beta Channel is for anyone who wants to test upcoming features or validate applications and deployments. The builds in this channel are somewhat stable, but you may still run into issues. Also, features in this channel are expected to ship in the final release of Windows 11.

Finally, the Release Preview Channel offers the final build of the next version of Windows 11 before it is available to everyone, with advanced quality updates and certain key features.

If you have a computer enrolled in any of these channels, you can use this guide to track the history of every released Windows 11 Insider Preview build.

Windows 11 Dev Insider Preview build history

Starting on May 11, 2022, Microsoft has separated the active development branch, meaning that Dev Channel builds are no longer tied to any specific version of Windows 11. However, the features and changes will most likely ship with the next feature update. Some other features may even arrive regularly in cumulative updates.

The latest version available for testers is Windows 11 build 26120.1340.

Join Windows Insider Program

On Windows 11, using the Settings app, you can join your device into any of the three testing channels to get early access to new features and enhancements.

To join the Windows Insider Program, use these steps:

Open Settings.
Click on Update & Security.
Click on Windows Insider Program.
Click the Get started button.

Click the Link an account button.

Картинка с сайта: pureinfotech.com
Sign in with your Microsoft account.
Click the Continue button.
Under the “Pick your Insider settings” section, select the previews you want to test, including:
- Dev Channel — Includes new features as soon as they’re ready, but builds are unstable.
- Beta Channel — Includes new features and enhancements expected for the next version of Windows 11. The previews are more stable, but you may still run into issues.
- Release Preview Channel — Includes the final version of Windows 11, minus some quality updates.
Click the Confirm button.

Click the Confirm button to agree to the terms and conditions.
Click the Restart button.
Open Settings after the reboot.
Click on Update & Security.
Click on Windows Update.
Click the “Check for updates” button.

Click the Restart button.

Once you complete the steps, the latest preview build of Windows 11 available in your selected channel will download and install on your computer.

Change Windows Insider Program channel

You can always switch between channels to test different builds, but you can’t roll back to the current version of Windows 11 without reinstallation.

To change Insider channels, use these steps:

Open Settings.
Click on Windows Update.
Click on Windows Insider Program.

Картинка с сайта: pureinfotech.com
Click the “Choose your Insider settings” option.
Select a different Insider channel of Windows 11 – for example, Canary Channel, Dev Channel, Beta Channel, or Release Preview Channel.

Картинка с сайта: pureinfotech.com
Restart your device.
Open Settings after the reboot.
Click on Windows Update.
Click the “Check for updates” button.
Click the Restart button.
After completing the steps, the new build from the selected active channel will download and install on the device.
Stop Windows Insider Program builds

Although you can’t roll back to the current release of Windows 11 (unless you perform a clean installation), you can use an option to opt out of the program, which will continue to download Insider builds. However, the device will gracefully be removed from the program once the final version is released.

Stop Windows Insider Preview builds

To stop getting Insider builds of Windows 11, use these steps:

Open Settings.
Click on Windows Update.
Click on Windows Insider Program.

Картинка с сайта: pureinfotech.com
Click the “Stop getting preview builds” option.
Turn off the toggle switch to set the settings.

Картинка с сайта: pureinfotech.com

Quick note: At this time, Microsoft is not offering a way to opt out of the program gracefully. If you want to roll back to a previous version, you must perform a clean install of Windows 10.

Once you complete the steps, the device will no longer receive Insider builds once the final version is installed.
