The modern WinUI 3 Run dialog is now rolling out as an opt-in feature. There are also improvements to Widgets and Share to give you more control and reduce the amount of noise/ads/intrusion. Aside from that, File Explorer has some reliability improvements, and Magnifier has some good craft updates including the long overdue modernization of the app to match the Windows 11 look and feel.
The “25H2” path of the Experimental Channel actually receives 26300.xxxx builds, which are preview builds of the Windows 11 2026 Update/Windows 11, version 26H2 and may include extra platform work.
