Windows 11 build 25131 comes with a bunch of fixes

Today, Microsoft is releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview build 25131 to the Dev channel. That’s pretty much the whole story. With this build, there are no new front-facing features for testers to play around with. Instead, there’s much more of a focus on fixes.

One thing that’s new is an updated Microsoft Store, although that’s independent of the actual build. For one thing, Microsoft is finally offering native Arm64 support for the app, meaning that you’ll see better performance on Windows on Arm devices. Previously, the only Arm-native options were 32-bit.

There are other improvements, such as better app automatic app updates. Microsoft has finally figured out how to not automatically update apps that you’re using, so they won’t close and reopen. Android app support is getting better too, at least in relation to the Microsoft Store. They’ll be supported by the new pop-up web experience, which lets you easily download apps from web advertisements.

As mentioned above, there are a whole bunch of fixes, and there are also a couple of known issues.

Microsoft tends to release new Windows 11 builds to the Dev channel on a weekly basis, so if you’re looking to test out new stuff, you’ll probably see some next week. In the meantime, you can install this one by going to Windows Update. If you’re not on the Dev channel, you can go to Settings -> Windows Update -> Windows Insider Program.
