Notice anything?

The Start menu's All apps list is now being renamed to All for all users, after previously being renamed only in the EEA. Change is present in the latest Beta CU (22635.4291).

Top of the Start menu in Windows 11. A search box, Pinned header and All button are visible.

Also, the live persona cards are pretty buggy. The card may not show up properly on hover, and even if it does, it will likely disappear a few seconds later. (That's why it isn't rolling out!)

Profile icons: vivetool /enable /id:48895801 - works in Canary, Dev and Beta Live Persona Cards: vivetool /enable /id:46702397,51848093 - works in Beta only atm. Both features require the Shared files tab in Home (45130483) and, like many other new Insider features, 48433719.

Clicking on a profile icon will bring up a more detailed card, this doesn't work properly yet.

File Explorer in Windows 11 with an expanded live persona card open. It is "Loading user information..." with a close button in the top right.

A related feature coming soon is "live persona cards" - pretty much profile cards, these appear on hover and display the person's name, as well as some options such as calling the person.

Live Persona Card in File Explorer in Windows 11. It shows the name "Phantom Testing" and their profile picture, which isn't set - showing initials instead. At the bottom are buttons to call the user, as well as to email and message them.

File Explorer is getting more changes - in addition to the shared files tab, profile icons will soon be displayed next to names for recent activity on the Home page and in the details pane. There's more to this. 🧵

File Explorer in Windows 11. The Home page is open to the Shared files tab, showing 3 files shared by a few users. "whatsup.doc" is highlighted. Next to the usernames, profile icons can be seen - the users have no profile picture set, so this just displays their initials.

(without it, for comparison)

User Account Control dialog, asking the user if they want to allow an app to make changes to their device. The app is Microsoft Management Console with two options: Yes and No.

Elevation prompt looks different with Administrator protection enabled in build 27718.

Elevation prompt in Windows 11, asking the user if they want to "Allow Microsoft Management Console to make changes on this PC?"

Two options are available: Allow changes and Don't allow.

(As I mentioned earlier, you do not need to manually enable the usual prerequisites such as 48433719 in rs_prerelease. They're already enabled.)
