These will be reliable builds tied to a future release with updates validated by Microsoft. Other app updates to Paint and Windows Media Player soon appeared in the 'Beta Channel'. The ‘Dev Channel’ was the first place that this update started to appear, with a 2200 build number appearing in November 2021. There are various channels in the Insider Program which relate to how far ahead of time you’ll be able to test new features, with the most cutting edge being the ‘Dev Channel’, targeted at the most technical users. (Image credit: Microsoft) How to test the WindUpdate before launchīefore Microsoft pushes out any big update to Windows 11, it passes through the various channels in the Windows Insider Program (opens in new tab). There will be several changes underneath that aren’t user-facing, as always, and a number that will be.īut from what Microsoft is working on and showcasing through the Insider Program, it's clear that the company wants to update the apps of Windows 11, not just the front-facing features. Windows 11 updates look to already be about more than visual flair, and 22H2 is set to be no exception. This will be available in the Microsoft Store, but will be scheduled to appear as the default app to play media files once the 2022 Update is available to everyone. It will be replacing the rather basic Groove Music, an app that debuted back in Windows 8 in 2012.
While Paint is another app to gain from a refreshed look, Microsoft surprised many at the end of 2021 by bringing back Windows Media Player. Notepad is one of the examples for the 2022 Update, gaining dark mode and a re-arranged menu bar. Other OS improvements are more apps from Microsoft that will be refreshed with the Fluent Design language that's across Windows 11. In the 2022 Update, the taskbar looks to be bringing back some features and listening to some feedback, with drag and drop coming back to the taskbar. The start menu has seen a redesign in Windows 11, but while the new look has been a positive, some features that were present in Windows 10, cannot be found here. One feature that's been divided by users has been the taskbar.
This first update to Windows 11 looks to be built on feedback from users, alongside more refinements that Microsoft presumably didn't have time to include in the first release in November.
