WIndows “11” Insider Canary Channel
The Windows Insider program revised its channels program in 2023, creating a new Canary Channel. Although Microsoft refers to the Canary Channel as a new Windows 11 channel, it’s widely believed to be an early effort to test what will become Windows 12. In any event, it’s a “hot off the presses” release, so be careful if you decide to test it:
The builds that will be flighted to the Canary Channel will be “hot off the presses,” flighting very soon after they are built, which means very little validation and documentation will be done before they are offered to Insiders. These builds could include major issues that could result in not being able to use your PC correctly or even in some rare cases require you to reinstall Windows. We will offer limited documentation for the Canary Channel, but we will not publish a blog post for every flight – only when new features are available in a build. We will continue to provide blog posts for Dev, Beta, and Release Preview releases like we do normally.
