Microsoft adds Windows 12 to the Insider Program

  • Last week's feature release shows you how these Insider channels map to the next release, which is sometimes a Moment now and not just a formal Feature Update. Don't worry. They didn't tell anyone that.
  • Canary - big changes that need lots of incubation time (e.g. kernel changes), no release target
  • Dev - changes that need incubation, no release target
  • Beta- testing changes targeting the next release
  • Release preview - testing changes that are slated to ship imminently in the next release barring any major explosions (e.g. printers)
  • Stable - nothing works
  • First Canary build today: Access keys and File Recommendations in File Explorer, LSA Protection Enablement on upgrade.
  • Dev channel: This channel is "rebooted" to 23000 series now, per above. This build has live captions in more languages, access keys in the File Explorer context menus (another Win11 regression),  Recommendations in File Explorer, and other changes.
  • Dev channel (last week): Microsoft is working on a new volume mixer.
