Windows 11 482 Published by

Windows 11 Build 26100.1876 is currently available to Insiders via the Release Preview Channel for Windows 11 24H2. The update contains new features and enhancements divided into two sections: gradual rollout and normal rollout.

The slow deployment includes the "Sign out" option in the account manager, the ability to share local files immediately from the taskbar, and a Delivery Optimization Settings page that matches the Windows 11 look. The standard distribution includes attributions to Rust OSS components' credits.txt files, an updated input method editor, and the ability to detect input from Xbox 360 and Bluetooth controllers in WebView2 apps.
