To see if this troubleshooter has been run on your device, go to Settings > Troubleshoot > Recommended troubleshooter history,” Microsoft says.Īfter the device leaves the Windows Insider program and the troubleshooter does its thing, the next step is getting the latest security updates on March 8. After that, the device will no longer receive new Insider Preview builds from the Beta Channel. Once the troubleshooter finishes – a reboot will be required to complete the process. “During this off-ramp, a troubleshooter will run that will unenroll the device from receiving new flights in the Beta Channel and uninstall the enablement package (EKB) if needed. Only users who are running Windows 11 builds 22621.1325 or 22623.1325 can use the off-ramp option, so if you’re on an older build, make sure you update first. The program has already started, and Microsoft says it will continue to be available until March 8. Microsoft has announced an off-ramp window specifically aimed at the Beta channel, giving users the opportunity to unenroll their device and remove the enablement package automatically from their computers.

A “Fluid Office” update that makes Word, PowerPoint, and Excel more similar to Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, in that they can be updated in real-time across multiple platforms, such as Teams, was also revealed at the company’s Build conference last year, but has yet to make it to consumers in a tangible way.If you’ve been running Windows 11 preview builds as part of the Beta channel but want to return to a more stable experience, here’s your chance to do this. It appears that the Windows 11 upgrade may be free, with Microsoft pushing its Office 365 updates as a paid subscription in the app. CEO Satya Nadella said that the “most significant updates of Windows of the past decade” will be coming at the Microsoft Build 2021 Conference back in May, but it is unclear exactly what that entails. It is hoped that Microsoft will also consolidate some of its features, making it easier to use such as a single Settings app, rather than utility being split between Control Panel, and a more comprehensive user interface. It is also likely that Microsoft will bring some updates to the Xbox app, in line with its new cloud gaming initiatives that will bring Xbox streaming sticks and a TV app to consumers. This is reminiscent of what Windows envisioned as a part of Windows 10X, its operating system for dual-screen devices, but that has now been shut down and it appears the software giant is migrating features over to its main operating system.
