Insider KB5089497 Windows 11 Insider Experimental (26H1) build 28020.2134 - May 15


UPDATE 5/22:


 Windows Insider Blog:

As a reminder, these release notes apply to those who are in the Experimental (26H1) channel, formerly known as the Canary 28000 series Channel. As we begin the transition to the updated Windows Insider Program, all new build release notes will be labeled under the new channel names, even though Insiders in the Canary 28000 series Channel may not yet find themselves having transitioned to Experimental (26H1). See the Windows Insider Blog for more details.


Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out*

[Windows Update]​

We’re introducing new capabilities to enhance security and improve user control over the Windows update experience. This includes:
  • Ability to skip updates immediately during the out of box experience (OOBE)
  • Extend update pauses as many times as you need
  • Always available options to shutdown and restart with updating
  • More insight on available updates to make more informed installation decisions

[Other]​

  • This update improves the reliability of Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) notifications to help prevent the service from becoming unresponsive.

Known Issues

[Reset PC]​

  • Resetting your PC may get stuck when using “Reset this PC.” To complete the reset successfully, choose the cloud download option (Cloud PBR) instead of local.

Reminder for Windows Insiders in the Experimental (26H1) channel

  • These builds can be unstable and may be released with limited documentation.
  • Many features in the Experimental (26H1) channel are rolled out using Controlled Feature Rollout technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time as we monitor feedback to see how they land before pushing them out to everyone in this channel.
  • The desktop watermark shown at the lower right corner of the desktop is normal for Windows Insider pre-release builds.
  • Some features in active development we preview with Windows Insiders may not be fully localized and localization will happen over time as features are finalized. As you see issues with localization in your language, please report those issues to us via Feedback Hub.

New feature: Ability to skip updates immediately during the out of box experience (OOBE)

Hardly new - MS introduce forced updates during oobe vastly increasing time to do a clean install. This was dreadful decision and I like many bombarded Feedback Hub to complain.

Before it was simple - install iso quickly.
Select updatesv(at your leisure).

I had one update that kept breaking live captions, and had to go through hoops and loops with local accounts and internet off to avoid getting updates.

This should be fixed in release version in next update not relegated to an experimental trial. How blooming hard is it to add a switch and simply bypass updates. A 16 year old could program that (but that is too old for Insider Teams)!
