If there's one big criticism about Windows 11 in 2025, it's that figuring out when and where new features are being tested or shipping is really hard. The Windows Insider Program is nonsensical in debuting and testing new features, often skipping experimental channels and, in some cases, avoiding the Insider Program entirely.
Because of this, it is incredibly challenging to keep track of the status of new features as they progress through testing and into production builds of Windows. More often than not, a feature won't be announced as shipping to production until Microsoft announces its availability in non-security Windows updates as they become available to the public.
