Microsoft has released the newest Windows 11 Build 25140 to the Dev channel insiders today. As usual, the new build brings plenty of changes and improvements, as well as bug fixes.

Wednesday isnt typically the most exciting day of the week, unless you happen to be a Windows Insider in the Dev Channel, as that’s when -- provided everything goes according to plan -- Microsoft rolls out a new Windows 11 build.

Sun Valley 2 is close to release, and were already seeing hints toward a Sun Valley 3, tentatively set for 2023.

Microsoft has an annoying rollout pattern which staggers the release of some features in the same Insider channel. This means not everyone will receive all features despite sharing the same build.

Earlier today, Microsoft launched new updates for two Windows 11 apps -- Notepad and Media Centre -- for Insiders in the Dev Channel.

Notepad and Media Player also received a performance boost.
