[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1037850, member: 52014"] Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing [B]Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25352 [/B]to the Canary Channel. Starting with today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel will notice that the name of the branch shown in the desktop watermark has changed to ZN_RELEASE. Just like [URL='https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/04/07/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-21354/']we have done in the past[/URL], we can change which branch we flight builds from.
