Windows Insiders watching Beta Channel (the second most stable channel in Windows Insider) will soon have their next big update Windows 11 of Microsoft.
As you may know, Windows Insider Program is designed for users and businesses interested in getting early access to upcoming features. The Windows Insider program has three channels (in readiness) – Dev Channel (formerly Fast ring), Beta Channel (formerly Slow ring) and Release Preview.
Currently, the Windows 11 preview is available from the Dev Channel. Unlike the other two channels, the Dev Channel gives you access to new improvements as soon as they're ready for public preview, but builds from the Dev Channel come with a lot errors.
For example, a bug in Windows 11 Build 22000.71, which was released this week, caused crashes in Explorer files (explorer.exe) and on the taskbar if you click the calendar flyout.
According to Microsoft executives, the company plans to launch a preview version of Windows 11 on the Beta Channel later this month.
Unlike Dev Channel, Beta Channel will provide timely access to all new features of Windows 11 and these versions will be less risky. However, newer versions of the Beta channel will not be released as often as the Dev channel.
So if you want to access newer features, but do not want to experience critical bugs, the Beta channel is for you.
Windows 11 Build 22000 is believed to be an RTM version (from release to manufacturer).
Microsoft recently completed Build 22000, which will be Windows 11's Core OS, and likely RTM candidate. Insiders are currently testing cumulative updates for the OS system and OEMs have already received the preview, but some bits will be delivered later.
With her help telemetrys from Windows Insiders, Microsoft is trying to “pick up” as many flaws as it can before releasing the final version to everyone.
