The Redmond tech giant released Build 25120 to the Dev Channel today. This is the Sun Valley 3 development for Windows Insiders, which will eventually become the version that will be released in 2023. Microsoft mentioned that, unlike the previous build, this one is now available for ARM64 PCs, and there are also ISOs that can be downloaded.

Changes and improvements

[General]

As described in a recent blog post, Windows Insiders who use the Dev Channel may get to try out new ideas, longer lead features, and experiences that are intended to help validate concepts. Starting with this preview build, some Insiders will see one of these conceptual features as we begin to explore exposing lightweight interactive content on the Windows desktop.

Fixes

[Suggested Actions]

Suggested actions should appear for more date and time formats now. Addressed some issues with certain formats when copying a date and/or time. Improved overall performance and reliability of the feature.

[Settings]

Fixed an issue that could crash Settings when opening and looking at the battery usage graph. Improved performance of displaying Wi-Fi networks after enabling Wi-Fi from the Wi-Fi section of Quick Settings.

[Task Manager]

Addressed an issue leading to some unreadable text in the Performance page when a contrast theme was enabled.

[Other]

Fixed an issue which could cause Windows Update to stall and roll back updates for WSA users. Did some work to address a stutter in the progress wheel animation when upgrading to a new build.

Known issues

[General]

Some games that use Easy Anti-Cheat may crash or cause your PC to bugcheck.

[Live captions]

Certain apps in full screen (e.g., video players) prevent live captions from being visible. Certain apps positioned near the top of the screen and closed before live captions is run will re-launch behind the live captions window positioned at top. Use the system menu (ALT + Spacebar) while the app has focus to move the app’s window further down.
