I don’t understand the issue with the Bell. Does it cause issues? Wasn’t there a notification icon there before it anyway?

It's just a change in behavior. There is no longer a number there showing the number of notifications. Now, if there are no notifications you get an outline of a bell, if there are any notifications it is colored in.

OK.

Yes I have the blue bell, but it’s kind of oblivious to me. Having said that, I understand people can get annoyed by the littlest things, I certainly do sometimes. Edit: A lot.

Well, yes, but I haven't taken the KB5031455 Preview, which @Brink details in this thread:

KB5031455 Windows 11 Cumulative Update Preview Build 22621.2506 (22H2) and 22631.2506 (23H2)

UPDATE 11/14: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/kb5032190-windows-11-cumulative-update-build-22621-2715-22h2-and-22631-2715-23h2.19801/ https://www.elevenforum.com/t/how-to-get-the-windows-11-2023-23h2-update.19364/...

www.elevenforum.com

So, those features don't depend on taking that Preview. That's what surprised me.

Oh, yeah: I'm not an Insider, and I'm not logged into a MS account. I'm just a Local Account kinda guy, but there's the Co-Pilot, right in my face. Until I turned it off, that is.

No issues that i've noticed.

Despite saying version 23H2, build number 22621.2428 is the latest official release build number of 22H2. So you don't truly have 23H2, just some features of it.

Wizewiz’s image states 22631, as does my unsupported PC though?

spapakons · Oct 28, 2023

Oops, you are right. I didn't pay attention. Yes, 22631.xxxx is the 23H2 version.

22621.2506 must be a new build of 22H2 which I have not updated to yet.

Wisewiz · Oct 28, 2023

As I reported on Glasskuter's thread 22H2? 23H2? What updates do what in MS madness?, I now have the update to 23H2 on my second (non-compliant) PC, and there appears to be a complete absence of glitches so far. We'll see.

I have Build 22621.2506; got it yesterday.

spapakons · Oct 28, 2023

I checked for updates and I saw one optional at the Advanced section. I didn't install it but probably is to go to build 22621.1506

ian50 · Oct 28, 2023

For what it may mean, both UUPDUMP.CN and UUPDUMP.NET have 22631.2506 as in-place upgrades, not just Insider choices.

I've used the .CN choice without issues. Quite normal, bog-standard in-place upgrade, with the usual caveat that font choices are not carried over.

antspants · Oct 28, 2023

Microsofts board of directors are in the office reading this over a glass of whisky and cigars. One has said *to roars of laughter* “Next update, make the bell randomly disappear and add a random number to the build” Another board member says “Give fifty people 24H2, I want to see a riot” A third says “Make notepad a subscription, this will be hilarious” and the board room laughs until they wet themselves in unity.

@antspants

Yes, it's so confused as to be incomprehensible.

I should have added in my comment above that both UUP choices, ie, CN and NET, list 22631.2506 as 23H2.

It appears to make little significant difference, as MS is obviously still squabbling internally. My one clear point of care is that this "revocation" jiggery pokery is not included in an upgrade without warning. Some might think this is unlikely, but with internal fighting in MS such an advent is not off the table.

According to the translated text

"The Windows 11 23H2 is now finished and is now only provided with updates. This will then add further corrections or new functions. If you are traveling with the Windows 11 22H2, only needs the function update (Enablement Package KB5027397)"

I'm downloading their compiled 23H2 (I think) Downloading from Hi Drive at 15kb a second lol Should be downloaded in 3 days

If this is true, I doubt it, it means we can get 23H2 with a simple update without any compatibility check. However, I still wait for Microsoft to release the 23H2 on their site, just in case.

Waiting for the official ISO is a good idea.
The update is very underwhelming.

spapakons · Oct 29, 2023

I suspect the update gives you only the basic features of 23H2. If you want all the features you must do the upgrade to 23H2 (for compliant computers). For us with unsupported computers we need the 23H2 ISO to apply our hacks and upgrade offline.

The 23H2 feature update is a small enablement package, our 22H2 system files already have all the new features in a dormant state. There's no need for an ISO, just a link to the enablement package, which Brink normally provides. The enablement package installs like a CU and doesn't have a compatibility check, I'm wondering if it may even be offered on unsupported devices in Windows Update.

My unsupported System Two got the 23H2 update in the brief window of opportunity while the 'in-place upgrade' loophole was still open, it got Copilot and all the other new features.
