I noticed that notifications stopped working some hours after installing this build. Restarted the shell to fix it (for a while). Then I noticed the cause, so heads up. Next time, I'll try restarting the service instead of the shell, in case that's enough.

Yes, it definitely involves Edge for Business (there's even a screenshot of it in the above Enterprise article), which is the specific mode you're put in with a business login. It has a raft of extra security features. But they still do throw around Enterprise sometimes, though it seems to have...

*Not counting EdgeCore It's apparently been in preview for most of this year. It went into general availability last week: https://blog-en.topedia.com/2026/06/edge-enterprise-preview-is-now-generally-available https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-enterprise-preview...

I think everyone there is in a siloed snit. MS started a significant refurbishment/expansion of their campus in the years leading up to Covid. Now employees are insulted if they're asked to even work on a campus.

@Ghot Oh, I see, what I quoted didn't quite mention the words. Yes, he was talking about the low latency feature a few posts back. I agree that it may or may not be a noticeable thing (some say yes, some say no), but I was just wondering why everyone seems to think that it definitely is rolling...

The word latency doesn't appear on that page. If you mean the KB articles cited, those are the very ones I referred to. Not there either, again, that I can see.

I guess I'm missing it. Where does MS say in this KB, or in particular the KB for the Preview of this build (the one that normally has all the details), that it's in any kind of rollout? The Preview one has decent release notes (one for current features and another for gradual ones), and there's...

Clock (as of the update this week), specifically Alarms, no longer sound or display. You just get a notification, which is substantially different. I see above that they announced posting release notes now for the included apps, and sure enough Clock has a long list of changes/fixes. Something...

@IownAmoneyPit Maybe the restarts hurried them along, but I've had no restarts between Friday and now: Back then, all the things you mentioned weren't there. I didn't look again until today, but now they're all there. Like with some other MS products these days, I guess they can just populate...

I interpreted their "double backslash" example as a typo. Did you? Because otherwise it's just a normal path, and those have worked for years. Surely they meant: c:\\Users\\user Though it's unclear how anyone would come across such a thing in order to paste it.

I notice that there are seven of these now. Does each one correspond to a Vivetool ID? If so, what is the ID for the 4th on this list? It would be useful for anyone stuck on the old screen due to needing to use Offline Insider Enroll, for instance (which continues to work for getting builds but...

It looks a tad different than that after the upgrade for those who were enrolled using the offline tool. I'm sure either an update to that, or maybe some vivetool trick, will come along to get this group back on the right track.

Ed Bott has come up with four very, very good ideas here to further getting things back on track (if they're truly serious about that): https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-fix-windows-11 1. Make preview builds useful again 2. Decouple quality testing from feature testing 3. Ditch Controlled...

When news of this came out several weeks ago (in lesser detail), was that a leak? If so, I wonder why they waited so long and then why late on a Friday. If they follow through on this stuff, some of which is almost ridiculous this deep into the product's run, then by next year (presumably...

Regarding that Windows Setup Experience improvement, I wonder if that same profile can be used if you want to go from MSA to local (after OOBE, for a normal person who doesn't know the OOBE workaround)? That would be nice, but I guess it doesn't matter much if you do it right away. A week later...
