From what I’m getting from wincentral’s previous articles, the lingo sprinkled throughout their coverage have meanings per the below:

• “Hudson Valley” is the upcoming Windows client (GUI), previously “Next Valley”?
• “Germanium” is the Windows platform already in Canary/Dev channel (kernel), which will be version 24H2
• “Windows 12” is still what they’re calling the next major Windows product/OS release (not feature update)

…so at this point in time, Hudson Valley + some element after germanium might be what is considered Windows 12?

First voice access and now print, we’re getting to see more and more changes to W11 in the finer aspects of productivity.

Now this is less about physical printers but - one of the buggiest experiences I had on W11 was using the built-in save to PDF feature, which was shockingly slow as it was somehow configured to convert webpages to images first before generating the file, resulting in large and unsearchable PDFs. Unsure of whether this was supposed to be intended behaviour as this print option made it out of WIP, but I’m going to hope WPP gets tested a bit more extensively by the print team lest it ends up spewing out unusable results too 🫠

Missed this before, but two separate guides were posted on taking advantage of IntegratedServicesRegionPolicySet.json after this update:

• You can remove Edge and Bing Search on Windows 11 even if you don’t live in Europe via albacore
• Here is a simple method to uninstall Edge in Windows 10 and 11 via deskmodder

The news of this came out just as e-visas for cdns are getting processed again, is it now the US’s turn to have service suspended or does a second attempt no longer fly?

There also seems to be an edit to this article:

[ADDED 10/6] Under All apps in the Start menu, Windows 11 system components will now show a “system” label.

Please go on ahead! My instance still has federating issues, so right now from the Fedia POV m/windowsinsiders is actually m/random, making posting threads difficult on my end.

I tend to despise shortlinks, and aka.ms ones in particular remind me of how binged.it is longer than the actual URL, but I digress, I found the ones for WIP to be descriptive but short/sweet enough that I’d prefer them over the overlong explicit version numbers, i.e. the release for this one is https://aka.ms/wip-beta-7-13

Anyway, in addition to the separate posts, wonder if we can sticky the evergreen shortlinks for the latest release for each channel to the top of magazine for those looking for a quick shortcut:
