Microsoft has confirmed its intention to release experimental features in Windows 11 for Insiders to test and provide feedback for improvements, even though these may never be officially announced in the build. end of the operating system. The goal, according to the company, is “to be able to better refine experiences” and offer solutions in Windows that really benefit its users.
To do this, Microsoft will activate two channels in which testers can sign up to test future Windows 11 features. The first channel, and probably the most interesting, is the dev. It is where experimental features will be published and may never come to light. The company also highlights that these functions can be modified or redesigned.
The second channel, called 'Beta Channel', consists of testing those features that have a high probability of reaching the final version of Windows 11. Again, with the possibility of changes. In this case, moreover, it is likely that some functions will be implemented that have not gone through the development phase. Probably because Microsoft has considered them necessary or essential for all users. On the other hand, those people who are part of the Insider program will be able to choose or change between both phases through an option that the company will activate soon.
Not all experimental features of Windows 11 will be available
The possibility of testing experimental features in Windows 11 also seems to be an answer to those users who try to decompile the code of the versions in search of new features that the company has not activated. Amanda Langowski, responsible for the Windows Insider program, has mentioned these users in a publication. Langowski specifically details why these features are purposely disabled and not suitable for experimental testing.
“We recognize that some of our more technical Insiders have found that some features are intentionally disabled in the builds we have released. This is by design, and in those cases, we will only communicate about features that we are deliberately allowing Insiders to test and give feedback on.” opinion”.
In parallel, Microsoft will soon release a new version of Windows 11 for all users. It will be the most important update after the arrival of the new version of the operating system. It will include, specifically, the possibility of downloading Android apps and new changes in the taskbar.
