@Jacob_W_Klein @JenMsft Recommend staying on standard Experimental channel (being 25H2) which will give you same level of testing/features as you had in Dev 🙂

@JenMsft ❤️ I've been in the Dev channel for years, and love it. But in Experimental, it is not clear whether I should choose 25H2 or 26H1, when I want the same level of testing/features that I had in Dev. I don't know what to make of 26H1. Will it have all the 25H2 features, and more? Ty

New builds out for Insiders! I hope you like the changes 😊 Please let us know how things go!

@XenoPanther @marcusash Gradually rolling out the channels over the next few weeks - stay tuned 😀

@marcusash @windowsinsider Do you have a rough timeframe when ExperimentalFP will get the new Insider settings page/ update pausing bits?
