I have found the major bug which prevented this build from releasing. File Explorer may fail to launch after logging in. Resulting in a black screen. This can be solved by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del, launching task manager, and restarting or closing and relaunching explorer.exe from there. After this, the bug never reproduces again.
They never released ISOs without any info or WU files too. They pulled them yesterday but we (a friend of mine) managed to generate the links and downloaded them.
Code: --------------------------- Compare contents --------------------------- The two files have the same content! c:\Users\Enthousiast\Downloads\Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_x64_en-us_23526.iso k:\Win_SVF_SFX\IP\23526_IP_TB_SVFSFX\Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_x64_en-us_23526.iso --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
I'm starting to feel like the black screen bug is related to DWM and not Explorer itself. But one thing is certain... 23H2 is gonna be the biggest Windows 11 feature update ever, (Also, probably the last of its type).
