Microsoft just released the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview build for the Dev Channelincreasing the build number to 25182. This new build is now due to expire on September 15, 2023, and while you still have plenty of time, it’s always good to pay attention to those expiration notices so your Insider build doesn’t stop not to function. .
The release includes two notable improvements, one an update to the Camera app that “can now understand the status of the privacy shutter on supported hardware, like Microsoft Modern Webcam or Built-in Camera on many new Windows 11 laptops”. The camera app will now be able to display a warning if these cameras have a shutter blocking the view or a closed laptop lid, noting that the camera is blocked and offering help.
The Microsoft Store app is also getting an update, offering some improvements:
