The Detach VHD button in Settings might disappear for you after updating to build 27718 (no longer enabled by default). To re-enable it, run vivetool /enable /id:44560941 (same command works for Dev.)

Windows 11 build 27718 desktop with the Settings app open. The user is in the process of detaching a VHD, and has been presented with a dialog letting them know where the VHD is stored.

(Note that only icons that show up in the graph will have labels. Brought up the rest of the labels myself for completeness.)

Small change coming soon to the Battery usage section of Power settings: labels for icons just below the graph (lower right) to make what each icon in the graph means clear. (disabled by default, build 27718.) vivetool /enable /id:45643758

Power & battery settings in Windows 11. The Battery usage section is expanded to reveal a graph showing battery levels over the last 24 hours. In the lower right, there are labels for icons that can appear in the graph: Charging, energy saver on, smart charging on.

Beautiful

File Explorer in Windows 11 build 27718. It is themed incorrectly, with the folder view appearing in light mode (and with incorrectly colored highlights) while the rest of the UI is in dark mode.

Small quality of life improvement in version 24H2: you can now copy the lower line of text for an update entry in Settings > Windows Update > Update history. Means you can now copy error codes easily.

Update history settings in Windows 11 version 24H2. Some characters in the lower line of text for an entry - "9/30/2024" - are highlighted. The user has the option to copy the text or select all text.

Just a heads up: the Phone Link companion in the Start menu and the Shared files tab in File Explorer Home are NOT rolling out with the initial 24H2 release today.
