Insider Windows 11 Insider Experimental (Future Platforms) build 29613.1000 - June 19



 Windows Insider Blog:

As a reminder, these release notes apply to those who are in the Canary 29600 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 29600 Series Channel may not yet find themselves having transitioned to Experimental (Future Platforms). See the Windows Insider Blog for more details.

Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out

Audio​

  • Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so:
    • You now have the ability to change default devices from this page.
    • Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing.
    • We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices.
    • We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page.
  • We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it.

Reminder for Windows Insiders in the Canary 29600 Series Channel (soon transitioning to Experimental (Future Platforms))

  • These builds can be unstable and may be released with limited documentation.
  • The builds released to these channels represent the latest platform changes early in the development cycle and should not be seen as matched to any specific release of Windows. Features and experiences included in these builds might never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features might change over time, be removed, or replaced, and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they are ready.
  • Many features 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.
  • For Windows Insiders who want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you, you can turn on the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update. Over time, we will increase the rollouts of features to everyone with the toggle turned on. Should you keep this toggle off, new features will gradually be rolled out to your PC over time once they are ready.
  • Some features in active development we preview with Windows Insiders might 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.

Does anyone know how common it is to apparently be under a 'hardware ID block' with insider builds?

As a final test I installed 29610.000 as a 100% clean install using Microsoft's own ISO. The issue of not receiving further builds started a couple of builds before that one and yes, there was an issue related to using Fast Start when those builds appeared in that it can freeze and fail to shutdown requiring a forced shutdown.

Turn off Fast Start and it all performs really well. The initial install receives around 50 various updates (drivers and all the usual miscellaneous stuff) on the first round and a further handful when checking a while later but none of the last few builds have gone on and offered the next Windows update when it is available.

Anyone ever been in that situation with Insider builds?
Usually you have to enroll in order to get any build updates. If you're not signed into a Microsoft Account then there are alternatives like OfflineInsiderEnroll.

Thanks.

The history to this is that I started the 29500 Future Platform branch as soon as it was announced several months back. That was not a clean instal but was just a case of switching channels as per Microsoft instructions as I recall. I'd been on Dev up to that point.

All was good week after week with each new feature build being offered and then suddenly the builds stopped. This seemed to coincide with the sudden issue of not being able to shut down with Fast Start enabled. I tried a clean install from an ISO from UUPDUMP of the next build that I was not receiving and that too would not update. As a third attempt I've just done a clean install from Microsoft provided ISO so all regions and so on our correct (unlike UUPDUMP which only offered the US version) and this install is also the same. No feature update to this latest build.

I go through hoops to get it working and you ... cheater.
I should correct myself..., I am registered as an Insider...

13409.webp

... it just doesn't show on the Settings page..., I think it's coded into the device ID.

Does anyone know how common it is to apparently be under a 'hardware ID block' with insider builds?

As a final test I installed 29610.000 as a 100% clean install using Microsoft's own ISO. The issue of not receiving further builds started a couple of builds before that one and yes, there was an issue related to using Fast Start when those builds appeared in that it can freeze and fail to shutdown requiring a forced shutdown.

I got a popup questionnaire from MS today on how easy I thought installation was, were there too many steps, did anything cause concern etc etc.

I mentioned that the biggest annoyance for me is that initial updates such as video driver and network drivers seem to load and initialise during critical steps of setup. Screen flashing and resizing many times just as you are entering account details. Even worse getting a 'you have lost internet connection' at the same critical moments of entering passwords and ID's. There should be a pause where it says to 'hold on while we initialise some settings' to stop users losing track of entering details.

And of course I mentioned that I'm seeing no new feature builds once any of the last few builds have been installed.
