I'm really glad microsoft finally did some noticable changes after all these years, quite excited to see if they add anymore changes to the future builds, keep up the good work!

21996: more like windows 10 with windows 11 theme
22449: official windows 11

[SUPERWIND]

A lot has actually quite changed since the Leak.

We're one month away!

[pranjalgarg]

Black or Blue, It will still be called BSOD !!!

Build 21996 was a leaked version of Windows 11. Which was Windows 10-ish. Nothing more changed. The latest beta build was a huge change on such a UI.

[HalfLifeonSteamPLZ]

Wow, looks like Microsoft really listened to me. They added that spinning circle thing into Windows 11.
edit: i mean it's officially added and not hidden amymore

Is there an iso for the ARM64 architecture? I want to try the newest build on my M1 MacBook Air

[isharadhanushan]

The last one should be black screen of death instead of blue. Both of them same when in short form BSOD

Windows 21196 - Blue Windows BSOD

Microsoft engineers : Hmm the blue legacy has humiliated us, lets change it!

Windows 22449 - BLACK windows BSOD

and so the new BSOD era begins

EDIT - They changed it back to blue lol🤣

mine still build 22000, but after knowing the File Explorer, i better use my old Total Commander, i really satisfied with ribbons tho 🥺.

and by the way is it any massive changes between 22000 and 22449?

I still don’t get it. They use transparency for active window, and use opaque for the rest. Actually the inactive opaque windows draw more attention than the active one. They should keep the transparency but without the blur effect for those inactive windows.

I still haven't gotten the new boot logo animation as I'm in the beta version of Windows 11.

[ranchocommodorereef]

I love these new UI changes. I wish the Notepad files had different icons though

Build 21996 looks like an attempt of tweaking the Windows 10 appearence

[azzam-jifh]

I updated to windows 11 and I didn’t like it, then I switched back to windows 10 and forgot to sign out of the insider program and it told be there was an update I thought it was a normal update and guess what ? it’s not it’s windows 11 and when it did that it my pc became slower than ever ( my pc meet the requirements and the system is in an ssd) and the system was buggy and after suffering I managed to swap back windows 10 and I signed out of the insider program

After install DEV Version! You can burn windows iso file with Rufus in usb?

[petrostelte]

They have removed the clock when you click on the date and time at the bottom right. Why?

[merbudd]

Hey, since this isnt a cumulative update, I'm wondering if I should switch or not... Can any of you give me a suggestion? (My PC isn't officially supported btw, that's also something to consider)

[yxles]

Still sad that unsupported devices cant get this and there's no easy workaround 😔
