UPDATE 7/8: KB5004745 Windows 11 Insider Preview Dev Build 10.0.22000.65 - July 8



KB5004564 Cumulative Update for Windows 11

Hello Windows Insiders, we are excited to release the first Windows 11 Insider Preview build to the Dev Channel, Build 22000.51! As we finalize the product over the coming months, we will work with you to validate the experience. You will get to try many, but not all, of the new features we showed last week in this early preview. We will bring more features such as Chat with Microsoft Teams and Android apps in the Microsoft Store over the coming months as they are ready for you – we are just getting started on this journey together!

If you haven’t yet, be sure to read our blog post on how the Windows 11 hardware requirements may impact flighting on your PC and your options to get started.

We look forward to your feedback on what you love and could love more to help make Windows 11 work best for how you work, learn, and play.

Beautiful, fresh, calm visuals and sounds

From rounded corners to the centering of content and new animations, this new visual design extends across multiple areas of Windows 11. Here are some key highlights that you will see after installing this build:


Start with pinned apps and cloud-powered “Recommendations”.
  • Start: Start puts everything you need on your PC at the center with a set of pinned apps and a cloud powered “Recommended” section that shows your recently opened files from both your PC and across your devices like your smartphone with OneDrive.
  • Taskbar: Taskbar is also centered with beautiful new animations. Try pinning, launching, switching, minimizing, and rearranging your apps on Taskbar to see the beautiful new animations.
  • Notification Center & Quick Settings: The lower right corner of Taskbar has a button for Notification Center (WIN + N) and Quick Settings (WIN + A). Notification Center is the home for all your notifications in the OS and a full-month calendar view. Quick Settings is the place for you to manage common PC settings quickly and easily like Volume, Brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Focus Assist. Directly above your Quick Settings, you will see media playback controls when playing music or videos in Microsoft Edge or streaming music in apps like Spotify.
  • File Explorer: We made File Explorer modern with a clean look and brand-new command bar. We have also introduced beautifully designed context menus when right-clicking in File Explorer or on your desktop. App developers will be able to extend the new context menus. We are working to publish documentation for app developers on how to do this with their apps soon.
  • Themes: In addition to brand new default themes for Windows 11 for both dark and light mode, it also includes four additional themes so you can make Windows feel the way you want it to. All the new themes were designed to complement the centered Taskbar. We have also added new contrast themes for people with visual impairments such as light sensitivity. To change your theme, just right-click on your desktop and choose “Personalize”.
  • Sounds: The sounds in Windows 11 have been designed to be lighter and more atmospheric. They are also slightly different depending on whether your Windows theme is in dark mode or light mode. The startup sound for Windows also makes its return in which you’ll hear when your PC boots up to the Lock screen and is ready to go for you to login.
Widgets

Widgets bring you closer to information you both want and need. Just click on the widgets icon on the Taskbar, swipe from the left using touch, or hit WIN + W on your keyboard, and your widgets slide out from the left over your desktop. You can personalize your experience by adding or removing widgets, re-arranging, resizing, and customizing the content. The set of widgets we provide currently focus on your calendar, weather, local traffic, your Microsoft To Do lists, your photos from OneDrive, sports and esports, your stock watchlist, and tips.



Widgets in Windows 11.

In addition to your Widgets, you can stay up to date with an integrated feed of personalized news with the latest content from over 4,500 global brands like, The New York Times or BBC. The news feed will adapt to show stories of interest to you, and you can tune it to see more of the content you care about.

Multitasking

Increase your productivity and creativity with these new multitasking features:

  • Snap layouts: Just hover your mouse over a window’s maximize button to see available snap layouts, then click on a zone to snap the window. You’ll then be guided to snap windows to the rest of the zones within the layout with guided snap assist. For smaller screens, you’ll be offered a set of 4 snap layouts. You can also invoke the snap layouts flyout with the WIN + Z keyboard shortcut.
  • Snap groups: Snap groups are a way to easily switch back to your snapped windows. To try this out, snap together at least 2 app windows on your screen. Hover over one of these open apps on the Taskbar to find the snap group and click to quickly switch back.
  • Desktops: Access your Desktops via Task View (WIN + Tab) on the Taskbar. You can reorder and customize the backgrounds for each of your Desktops. You can also mouse-over Task View on the Taskbar for quick access to your existing Desktops or to create a new one!
The new Microsoft Store

With today’s build, you will be able to try out an early preview of the new Microsoft Store. We’ll continue to build and refine the Store. This build reveals a first look at the Store’s all-new design; in the coming months you’ll see us add other features detailed in last week’s blog post from Giorgio Sardo, GM for Microsoft Store.

Docking

When you undock your laptop, the windows on your external monitor will be minimized. When you re-dock your computer to your monitor, Windows puts everything back exactly where you had it before! You can find the settings for these features under System > Display > Multiple Displays.

Input (touch, inking and voice)
  • Touch Keyboard personalization: To personalize your Windows experience, we have designed 13 new themes for the touch keyboard including three hardware matching themes that match the Surface colors. We have also built in a brand-new theme engine that allows you to create a fully customized theme including background images. Based on your feedback we have also introduced a setting to resize the touch keyboard.

  • Voice typing launcher: Our new voice typing launcher is a quick and easy way for you to start voice typing in a selected text field. It is off by default, but you can turn it on within the voice typing settings (WIN + H to start voice typing) and then place it anywhere you would like on your screen.
  • Improved Touch Gestures: Check out these new on-screen touch gestures for you to easily switch among apps and desktops with smooth transitions. The gestures are like the touchpad gestures but have thoughtful improvements designed specifically for touch. Here’s a list you can try:
Three-finger gestures:
  1. Swiping left/right – quickly switch to the last used app window.
  2. Swiping down – go back to the desktop (if you follow it with a swiping up, you can restore the app windows).
  3. Swiping up – open Task View to browse all app windows and desktops.
Four-finger gestures:
  1. Swiping left/right – switch to the previous/next desktop
  2. Swiping up/down – (same with three-finger ones).
  • Pen menu: If you’re using a digital pen, you can open pen menu by clicking the pen icon at the lower right on your Taskbar. (If the pen icon isn’t there, you can enable it by right-clicking on Taskbar and going to Taskbar settings to enable it. By default, it contains two apps which can be customized by clicking the gear button and selecting “edit pen menu”. In the flyout, you can add up to four of your favorite drawing or writing apps in the pen menu, to open them quickly when you’re using your pen.
  • Language/Input switcher: You can quickly switch between additional languages and keyboards via a switcher a switcher will show up at the lower right on your taskbar next to Quick Settings. You can also use the keyboard shortcut WIN + [Spacebar] to toggle between input methods. To add additional languages and keyboards, go to Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region.
Display improvements
  • Dynamic Refresh Rate: Dynamic Refresh Rate allows your PC to automatically boost the refresh rate when you’re inking or scrolling (which means you’ll get a smoother experience) and lower when you don’t need it so that your laptop can save power. You can try out DRR on your laptop via Settings > System > Display > Advanced display, and under “Choose a refresh rate” select a “Dynamic” refresh rate. DRR is being rolled out to select laptops running the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview builds and only on laptops with the right display hardware and graphics driver will have the feature available. For more details, check out this blog post.
  • Other display improvements coming in Windows 11: Auto HDR, Content adaptive brightness control (CABC) disabling, HDR support to color managed apps, and HDR certification.
Settings

We designed Settings to be beautiful, easy to use and inclusive of all your Microsoft experiences in Windows 11. Settings has left-handed navigation that persists between pages, and we have added breadcrumbs as you navigate deeper into Settings to help you know where you are and not lose your place. Settings pages are also all new, with new hero controls at the top that highlight key information and frequently used settings for you to adjust as you need. These new hero controls span across several category pages like System, Bluetooth & devices, Network & Internet, Personalization, Accounts, and Windows Update. We also have added expandable boxes for pages with a lot of settings.

The new Windows 11 setup experience

The Windows 11 setup experience (often referred to as the “out of box experience” or OOBE for short) has been redesigned with brand new colorful animated iconography and more modern light theme. This new setup experience is designed to build excitement for Windows 11 right from the moment you first turn on a new Windows 11 PC for the very first time. Based on your feedback, we have added the ability to name your PC during the setup experience.


The beginning of the setup experience for Windows 11.

After running through the setup experience, the Get Started app is a new first run experience app that will help you quickly get setup on a new PC. Currently, Get Started has a limited number of pages but over time, we plan to add in more content to further educate and assist people new to Windows 11.


The new Get Started app will help you get started with a new PC.

For Insiders wanting to go the extra mile and try this experience out, you can reset your PC by navigating to Settings > System > Recovery > Reset this PC and choose to “Remove everything”. This will wipe your machine, so we recommend you back up your files before resetting your device.

Wi-Fi 6E Support

We’re excited to bring Wi-Fi 6E to the Windows ecosystem, enabling our Windows OEMs, Wireless IHVs and ecosystem partners to deliver leading edge Wi-Fi on new Windows PCs. Wi-Fi 6E is a revolutionary advancement that enables up to 3x more Wi-Fi bandwidth and will transform Wi-Fi experiences through faster speeds, greater capacity, reduced latency, and better security. Many OEMs are already shipping Wi-Fi 6E capable Windows PCs and the first Wi-Fi 6E capable access points and mesh devices are also commercially available.

Once you’re on this Insider Preview build with a Wi-Fi 6E capable PC and driver, along with a capable Wi-Fi router, it’ll just work.

You’ll need a PC that’s equipped with a Wi-Fi 6E device such as the Intel AX210™ and a capable driver. To obtain the latest driver from Intel, see the following guidance: How to Enable Wi-Fi 6E/ 6GHz Band Using Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210.

You’ll also need a Wi-Fi 6E capable router, such as one of these:
Once you’re connected to your Wi-Fi 6E router, go to Windows Settings / Network & Internet / Wi-Fi and choose Adapter properties to see if you’re connected to the 6GHz network band. You can also find the Band from the command line by entering: “netsh wlan show int”.

Note that if you use the mobile hotspot in Windows or Wi-Fi Direct, these features continue to support Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) only.

Windows 11 + Office

Coinciding with the release of today’s Windows 11 Insider Preview build, the Office Team is releasing a preview for Office Insiders of their Office apps with a new design that will shine on Windows 11! Designed based on your feedback, the new design gives you a natural and coherent experience across all your Office apps. Learn how to be an Office Insider and try the more intuitive Office here.

Really?!!! :oops: I was crying when I was reading this thread and seeing the screenshots (I can't install W11 on my machine, I have Intel 4th Gen i7 CPU with no TPM module on it and I don't have money to upgrade it and would not be able to upgrade 😭😭😭)

Is it possible to install on 4th Gen Intel CPU (with no TPM)?

I think it was one of the rubbish decisions that they took to drop millions of users (to force users to bypass Windows ridiculous security vulnerabilities by upgrading their machines to their new partner's hardware like Dell and HP). They did select the wrong way! Good-Bad cycle again! 👽
yes it possible follow instrustion on post

Same here...

I spent hours on my ShowKeyPlus app to change from/to Dark/Light mode when the setting changes in Colours - now that's not working on this version of Win 11 due to the lag (hope they didn't change the event being called as that will mean a re-code for me)

From the Blog yesterday:

Below you will find changes we are making based on that feedback, including ensuring we have the ability for Windows Insiders to install Windows 11 on 7th generation processors to give us more data about performance and security,

If we keep reading though, it says:

"We’ve set the bar for previewing in our Windows Insider Program to match the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, with the exception for TPM 2.0 and CPU family/model."

That means no TPM 2.0 and CPU checks for Insiders (for this early period, at least). It does not mention Secure Boot, which is curious and possibly an omission given the nature of the error that they said should be corrected on reboot:

method i said stops secure boot check too and tpm and allows older cpu's and far as i seen anything older than 7th gen wont work
Must be hardware-specific -- as I have tried this on my legacy PC and it accomplishes nothing. Still does the hardware checks and refuses to install.

I agree! With this global economic crisis because of the Corona pandemic, Microsoft thinks most of us are rich, my MSI is 7 years old but it's as good as new, i won't buy a new laptop just because of Microsoft's impositions. It is discrimination on the part of Microsoft.

I have an image of windows 10 and until 2025 Microsoft guarantees support. I made a fresh install of this DEV build on my laptop that doesn't have the basic requirements imposed by Microsoft. Everything is working as it should be, I really like this new Windows 11, it's activated with a digital license on the Microsoft server with my e-mail account. The only bug I see is that every time I restart my pc I have to reactivate Windows Defender, but this is a bug that will be fixed in newer builds and it doesn't bother me because I just bought an ESET license.

Of course you can install it on yours too, your processor is even better than mine, you have to bypass the TPM in the installation.

One forum user posted this Youtube video, and i agree 200% with everything he says!


In this thread explain everything how you can do it.


Before this existing thread i installed Windows 11 DEV leaked using this Youtube video. It's basic the same.


Cheers!;)

PC Health Check App


With these minimum system requirements in mind, the PC Health Check app was intended to help people check if their current Windows 10 PC could upgrade to Windows 11. Based on the feedback so far, we acknowledge that it was not fully prepared to share the level of detail or accuracy you expected from us on why a Windows 10 PC doesn’t meet upgrade requirements. We are temporarily removing the app so that our teams can address the feedback. We will get it back online in preparation for general availability this fall. In the meantime, you can visit our minimum system requirements page here to learn more.

I agree! With this global economic crisis because of the Corona pandemic, Microsoft thinks most of us are rich, my MSI is 7 years old but it's as good as new, i won't buy a new laptop just because of Microsoft's impositions. It is discrimination on the part of Microsoft.

Cheers!;)
I was thinking about "Linux" ecosystem and switch from all those Microsoft and MA€ OSs to a free OS ecosystem, its worth trying... (before W11 I was thinking about new MAC Pro and its M(X) chip, but I think it is another closed ecosystem).

Lets forget about them 😭

I will never forget their kindness. May God give them eternal rest 😭😭😭

Nice long post coming.

OK. So, I had the leaked Windows 11 build installed on my machine as an upgrade to my existing Win10 install. I tried taking the Win11 DEV build release (10.0.22000.51) over that leaked build - twice. No go. I received a STOP error that said INVALID_DATA_ACCESS_TRAP - and no stop codes themselves.

I said F it, and decided to restore my Macrium backup of C & D (because I use a script to split \Users away from the System drive, so it's on D, so I need to backup both).

But, that required a bootable USB, since I can't exactly run Macrium from inside Windows to replace the Windows System drive, eh?

No worries - grabbed a USB (which I had previously used for the NeverWare CloudReady ChromeOS installer - holy bejeezus, getting that thing reset to raw so I could format it for Windows took forever. Diskpart refused to play with it for the longest time (diskpart in Win 11 leak, mind you).

Finally went to my Win10 laptop and 0 issues. Hmmmm.

Came back to the desktop and I see there is a new UEFI fw update for my mobo. Now, Win 11 is in Beta, and I have 0 idea how well it is going to take a TPM reset (as the FW update resets everything to default, so I have to re-enable everything that I normally use, plus fTPM and Secure Boot....so I use Macrium to restore the system drive only.

Uh, no. "There is a problem with your account, click here to fix it" - only that keeps going into a loop.

Sigh. I have to restore both drives. OK, but Macrium doesn't make it easy to restore more than one drive - you can back up multiple drives in a single backup, but restoring them? Gotta do each one independently. #%^$^@$%^@$%^#$&#%^&*%&*#%^&#%.

Also, I paid a little bit closer attention, and the option to do the intelligent restore (where only the bits that have changed) I nixed as well - restore it bit by bit please.

Got all that done, then booted to Win10 like I never left it, updated the UEFI fw, rebooted, then decided that I'm also going to update the backup UEFI fw (yes, I have switchable UEFI, but I've never updated the second one, leaving it for a 'just in case' moment -= but since I now made the AMD hardware RAID with the two mechanical drives, if I don't at least configure the second UEFI then if I ever boot from it I won't be able to access my RAID volume. Arrrrrgh!

So, updated the backup, set up everything that I want and need set up, then go back to the primary, and do the same thing all over again.

Finally, I'm ready to boot, and Win10 comes up and sure enough, I need to reset the WinHello PINs on all 4 accounts. But other than that, good to go.

Go back to Windows Updates, check for updates, and it takes the new Win11 build 5 min to download. And friggin' $^&#&^#%^&#%^&#%^&# 60 to install.

Yes, 60 minutes. 20 minutes installing in Windows Updates, then after reboot, 40 more minutes (coupled with 4 reboots and at least 3 explorer restarts) before I'm finally able to log in to Win 11.

Now, with all that out of the way ...

The leaked DEV build was ancient compared to the official build from Insiders. This thing is Smooth AF, ladies and gentlemen. Smooth AF.

It looks better, performs better, and plays better than the leak. I told VDubDan that it is 100,000X better than the leak. It's seriously obvious that they have been working on this for quite a while.

The taskbar is currently locked to the bottom, but you can left justify it like in Win 10 with a single setting change in Windows Settings. The rounded corners are actually kinda nice looking, all things considered. The new layout designs are a sorely needed thing for people using extra wide screens, they will really appreciate those.

tl;dr:

Win11 is 100,000X better than Win10. I honestly have very, very few gripes about it - wasn't expecting that at all!

So far, it's looking very promising.

The Settings-System-About screen shows nothing about TPM. You need to go to the device manager (right-click Windows Start-Device Manager)
You can look for TPM here:
