Microsoft Build 22581

Feedback

Please note that effective today Microsoft released a new build to both the DEV and BETA rings.  They updated the notification area in this build and it no longer honors a texture all the wat across.  My texture does not cover all the way across.  It is now a plain blue color on the right side.

We do not offer support for dev channel builds I am afraid.

Please report bugs to Microsoft.

This is actually the Beta channel's preview of Windows 11's big update 22H2 code named Sun Valley 2. Microsoft is officially moving this build off the DEV channel and into the Beta channel to which in a month or two it will hit the release channel. This is a big deal for people looking at the Sun Valley 2 update

I do understand not supporting DEV channel builds and actually agree with you 100 percent there. It is experimental and will change too much to develop for. I will argue that Beta builds of this nature are a lot more rare and will probably only happen once per year ahead of release builds. I believe this is a build that should be looked at. Any new builds after this one the end up on the DEV channel can be considered experimental.

I can't remember how long it has been since Microsoft last did this.  If stardock and microsoft don't agree to play nice, this could easily become a shouting match where all 3 parties, primary vendor, secondary vendor, and customers could all lose.  As you are both declaring Ukraine as yours, maybe talking wouldn't hurt

FYI, for those that had the nice Stardock taskbar "nuked" by build 22581, you can enable the Windows 11 Classic taskbar via Winaero and have the texturizing go all the way across the taskbar.  I don't know if other taskbar function is fully there

Note that implementing this seems to repeatedly crashes file explorer.  I backed it off.

It is the Beta tester's paradox. Can someone who likes to test Beta builds refrain from testing a Beta build in order to test a Beta build.
