If you are part of the Windows Insider Program and have your PC enrolled in the Beta, Experimental, or Experimental (26H1) channel, it’s time to take action and update your system.
Enhancements and Fixes
Microsoft’s Stephen Lines has announced a resolution to the issue that previously left the Feature Flags list empty for Insiders in the Experimental channel. Following the installation of the latest Experimental build, users can expect to see the Feature Flags reappear, enhancing their testing experience.
The new builds come packed with notable features that aim to refine user experience:
- Modernize Autoplay experience. The Autoplay feature is undergoing a significant transformation, moving beyond its Windows 8 roots. The new dialog, rebuilt with WinUI, offers a visually consistent experience aligned with Windows 11 aesthetics. It now supports both Light and Dark modes, accommodates text scaling and display settings, and ensures that notifications function seamlessly within the Notifications center.
- Open apps maximized. A new accessibility setting has been introduced that guarantees every application opens in a maximized state. This feature can be found in the Settings app under Accessibility > Visual effects, catering to users who prefer a more expansive view right from the start.
