Microsoft released an email to remind users of windows insider program that unstable and defective preview versions will soon be launched in dev channel Although the reason was not mentioned in the email, we know that this is because the test of 23h2, the next major version of windows 11, is about to begin.
As you may know, windows 11 now the service is updated once a year. This key update is mainly used to add new functions. Later this year, Microsoft will begin to launch the annual update of the operating system called "version 22h2" (the first update).
Although beta channel testers will continue to get the 22h2 version, dev channel testers will be transferred to a new branch to help the company shape the windows 11 23h2 version and future versions. Next, most of the upcoming changes in the development channel will be pushed to consumers along with the windows 11 23h2 version.
Of course, windows 11 23h2 version is still in the early stage of development and will not have any new functions at first. However, since the company will obtain a different version from the active development branch, users may encounter a lot of faults, including blue screen errors in some cases. Microsoft reminds testers that if they don't want to test defective builds, they need to move to the beta channel as soon as possible.
"If you want to experience a more reliable build... Please transfer your device to the beta channel through the windows insider program settings. Remember, 23h2 version is a different version of windows 11. After upgrading, users cannot easily downgrade to 22h2 version. In other words, if you ignore the warning and continue to stay in the development channel, you need to do a clean installation of the released version of windows 11 on your device so that you can switch to B in the future ETA channel.
In other words, windows 11 23h2 is in a very early stage of development, and the initial version contains both new known problems and bug fixes for existing problems. According to sources, don't expect anything too exciting in the windows insider program for the time being, but the 23h2 version will be another big version with significant experience for tablet users and user interface improvements.
