Microsoft Testing New Windows 11 Features; Experimental Features Exclusive To Testers

Microsoft has disclosed its intentions for Windows 11 testing till 2022, after declaring last week that Windows 11 will receive a larger-than-usual upgrade in February with Android apps, taskbar improvements, and more. According to The Verge, Microsoft aims to experiment more with features for Windows 11 testers to review that may or may not be released.

Unreleased Feature Access For Testers

"As part of this ongoing transformation, Insiders will see us rely more heavily on the Dev Channel as a way to incubate new ideas, work on long-lead items, and govern the status of specific features," explained Amanda Langowski, the Windows Insider Program's head,

These innovations may never ship in some circumstances, but by experimenting more, they may improve experiences and provide Windows solutions that actually empower customers to do more. A few A/B testing are witnessed like this previously, where a subset of Windows Insiders will gain admittance to a component before Microsoft carries it out more extensively to analyzers. Later on, however, there could be some changes from highlights that will not be completely documented by Microsoft.

Various Windows fanatics pay special attention to new highlights each time Microsoft unveils another form, involving flags in the working framework to turn stowed away elements on and see what Microsoft is exploring with different avenues.

Switch From Dev Channel To Beta Channel

"We also realize that some of our more technically savvy Insiders have noticed that several functionalities in the releases we've tested have been purposely disabled. This is by design, and we will only share about features that we have enabled for Insiders to try out and provide feedback on in those circumstances "Langowski stated.

The Dev Channel for Windows 11 testing will now only contain experimental features, allowing the Beta Channel to contain features that are closer to what will be released to the general public. If new features are closer to launching, it's possible that they'll appear first on the Beta Channel.

Microsoft is presently intending to give Windows 11 analyzers a timeframe in which they can change from the Dev Channel to the Beta Channel, to keep away from the more trial features that are coming. That will probably correspond with the February arrival of elements, including Android application support, taskbar changes, and the upgraded Notepad and Media Player applications.
