    Just noticed that the Windows Security Center has got a redesign in this build.
    Version: 1000.29695.0.1001
    Redesign-WSC.png
    Most likely will be available soon for the other IP channels as well.

    This version introduces eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter), a revolutionary technology originating from the Linux kernel. It allows safe and efficient execution of sandbox programs within the operating system kernel, dynamically extending the functionality of the kernel without modifying the kernel source code or loading kernel modules.

    Imagine if MS actually documented these interesting internal kernel changes instead of the rehashed from 26H2 user shell improvements :rolleyes:

    This is Windows 11 27H2 right?
    These builds seem to be more stable on actual hardware than on a VM.

    The new security center is a nice touch.

    Exactly what many power users want. Fill it with what you need, not what MS thinks you need.

    Good luck with updates/security and the expiration date, i ran all IP releases for a couple of years, upgrading it by WU, now stable on 2021 LTSC :D I don't care what people use but it is just an empty shell.

    It is a good build, but I agree it's still got some issues that need fixing such as a annoying USB Storage driver bug. But like @Enthousiast said it is a empty shell not tied to any specific release. Best to be used in a VM.

    I meant in principle, not the IP builds in particular.
