Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25272 to the Dev Channel.

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621.1095 and Build 22623.1095 (KB5022364) to the Beta Channel. Build 22623.1095 = New features rolling out.

This approach is being used for the Beta Channel only and is not indicative of any changes or plans for final feature rollouts. Insiders who landed in the...
