Earlier this month, Microsoft acknowledged a humorous and nostalgic bug within the newest Home windows 11 preview builds. Accidentally, builders changed Home windows 11’s startup chime with the 20-year-old Home windows Vista startup sound. Whereas conspiracy theorists speculate that it was intentional in mild of Apple’s “Liquid Glass” announcement (Microsoft denies any allegations), builders on the software program large are working exhausting to revive concord and produce again the right startup sound.
Within the newest Home windows 11 preview builds, which had been launched earlier this week, Microsoft tried to repair the wrong startup sound, however solely the Beta Channel acquired the mandatory repair. The one from the Dev Channel, nonetheless, nonetheless has the wrong chime.

We up to date the weblog put up for Dev – by some means the repair is not correctly working there however it’ll within the subsequent Dev flight.

This week’s Dev and Beta channels have practically similar changelogs, so it’s a bit odd to see a repair working in a different way. It exhibits that regardless of obvious similarities, these builds have many alternative bits beneath the hood, and issues don’t all the time work as anticipated within the Home windows 11 preview program.
In case you missed it, this week’s Home windows 11 preview builds launched two huge modifications: a brand new House web page for Recall and the flexibility to alter the place system indicators seem on the display screen. Whereas it’s cool to have some additional customization, Microsoft nonetheless doesn’t need to handle well-liked suggestions requests like transferring the taskbar to the highest or sides. Nevertheless, the corporate delivered fairly just a few user-requested modifications, so not all hope is misplaced.
