Insider Windows 11 Insider Experimental (Future Platforms) build 29634.1000 - July 27


UPDATE 7/31:


 Windows Insider Blog:

Hello Windows Insiders,

Today we’re releasing build 29634.1000 for the Experimental (Future Platforms) channel. Release notes can be found over in the Windows Insider Documentation Hub as usual, as well as below.

Renewed Windows Insider flight certificate

Today’s Experimental (Future Platforms) build contains a renewed Windows Insider flight certificate. Windows Insider Preview builds use flight certificates that are renewed periodically to help ensure Insider devices remain on supported builds and continue receiving future Insider Preview updates. The current flight certificate expires on August 11, 2026, so please update your device to a build containing the renewed flight certificate before that date.

For more information, please visit the certificate renewal FAQ.


Experimental (Future Platforms) moves to updated WIP UI

We conclude the full transition of all Windows Insider builds to the updated WIP channel UI, with those on the 29600 Preview Builds now seeing Experimental (Future Platforms) in the Windows Insider channel settings.


Release notes for Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 29634.1000 for Experimental (Future Platforms)

Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out

[Voice Isolation in Voice Access]

  • We’re introducing Voice Isolation, a new option in Voice Access that helps it focus on your voice, even when others are speaking nearby. Whether you’re in a shared office, an open floor plan, or at home with family around, Voice Isolation filters out other voices and background noise so Voice Access can better understand you. All processing happens privately on your device.
  • Getting started
    Voice Access now offers three speech recognition modes under Voice Access settings > Improve speech recognition:
    • Voice Isolation — Filters out other speakers and background noise (one-time voice setup required).
    • Remove background noise only — Filters out non-speech sounds like typing or door slams. No additional setup needed.
    • No filtering — Default microphone input with no additional processing.

  • To set up Voice Isolation, select it from the menu and follow the short, guided setup where you’ll read a brief paragraph aloud so Voice Access can learn your voice. It only takes a minute, and your voice data never leaves your device

[Narrator]

Braille displays now connect instantly with Narrator

  • We’re making refreshable braille displays easier to use in Windows. Narrator now supports displays that use the HID standard — an open industry standard for braille displays. If your display supports HID, simply connect it via USB and start reading — true plug-and-play with no additional setup required. For Bluetooth, pair your HID braille display in Settings > Bluetooth & devices just like any other accessory, and you can work wirelessly without being tethered to your PC.
  • Compatible HID displays include models like the Orbit Reader 20, Orbit Slate 340, Freedom Scientific Focus 40, and APH Mantis Q40.
  • HID braille displays now work during the initial Windows setup experience (OOBE) over USB — meaning users who are deaf-blind can set up their PC independently, right from the first screen. You can customize braille input and output options anytime in Settings > Accessibility > Narrator > Braille.

[Account Control]
  • The Windows 11 Account Control flyout has a refreshed, modern design and a clear subscription badge to make the user’s account status instantly visible. This helps users easily identify their plan, discover benefits, and explore upgrades.
Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Settings > Start Menu.

[Input]
  • The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API.

[Settings]
  • Improved reliability of navigating to the Startup apps page in Settings.
[Taskbar]
  • Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar when using your PC in a tablet posture.
[Start menu]
  • Improved reliability of Start menu view preferences, ensuring your selected view is retained.
  • Improved keyboard navigation when keyboard focus is set to the apps list within Start menu.
[Date and Time]
  • Improved detection for triggering time zone change notifications.
[Display and Graphics]
  • Improves the reliability of rendering content while scrolling for certain apps spanning across multiple monitors.
Thanks,
Stephen and the Windows Insider Program team

Seems you are out of luck then as from 26H1 MS has decided to move on.
There is still a working link for SP1 but I doubt it will install on your Canary version.
How old is that Joytest.exe?

The version for 26H1 and later was working with release 29617 and before. Even now not fail. The setup ended with an "Installation ended sucessfully" but it makes it in one second, like it has verified that is already installed. But not a clue in programs installed, nor components of Windows, nor even in the registry.

Joytest.exe is from 2014. But ChatGPT says that still now there is no a similar program that replaces. There are options, but not so good as these. Even the IA has proposed to me to program a clone of Joytest for Windows 11. Probably i'll do it.

But I liked some other utilities for building and testing HID controller that requires .Net Framework 3.5. All from the same age.

The Recycle bin generic name $xxxx in the context menu to confirm delete, is still not fixed with Build 29634.1000, but it was fixed on Build 26200.8973. 🤣

After a clean install of 29634.1000, the insider page is not showing any possible selection for the insider channel, it just shows the Microsoft account that is used for the insider program, while on the machine that was updated from 29617 it shows Experimental with Future Platforms.
Pretty confusing! Typical Microsoft. 😵🤷‍♂️

This is after a clean install of 29634.1000:

This other machine was updated from 29617.1000 to 29634.1000 and shows Experimental with Future Platforms. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️
Why the different behavior?
