Insider Windows 11 Insider Experimental (Future Platforms) build 29617.1000 - June 26

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​

[Windows Update]​

• As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information.

[Windows Magnifier]​

• Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need.

[Accessibility]​

• We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help.

  Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider.
• To get started, open Settings > Accessibility(or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can:
  • Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own.
  • Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity.
• Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity.
• Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off.

[Voice Access]​

• Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea).

Audio​

• Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build:
  • We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions.
  • "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality.

[Multiple Desktops]​

• Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops.

[Storage]​

• We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage.

[Personalization]​

• This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings.
• This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback.

[Display and Graphics]​

• Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles.

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. 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.
