The Sun Valley Update, which has long been mentioned for Windows 10, and is rumored to be released as "Windows 11”, will be announced on June 24. THE Microsoft confirmed that it is on a multi-year journey to revolutionize the Windows user experience, and the upcoming update will bring significant changes to the platform.
So we expect great things from the Sun Valley update, which is expected to be available on preview channels later this month and released to the general public in the fall.
Prior to the announcement of the Sun Valley update, Microsoft decided to test the "service pipeline" for Windows Insider to release cumulative updates, as opposed to the full preview versions with the new features. Today, the new Build 21390.1000 was released on the Dev channel and it is a cumulative update without new features or changes.
“The system in which we provide updates (servicing pipeline) on top of new releases before release needs to be tested. Not just for errorthem in the build, but for bugs in the system we use to apply these updates to new builds,” says Brandon LeBlanc, senior program manager in the Windows Insider program.
Windows 11 is hidden
Microsoft's decision to discontinue preview releases indicates that the company is busy changing the code only internally to merge Sun Valley features that were removed from the preview releases.
There will be no major updates until June 24 as Microsoft essentially hides the "Sun Valley" design to surprise consumers at the upcoming event.
We hope that the changes that Microsoft is preparing will not stop at the visual improvements and the new UI design.
