Windows Insider Preview Builds are a great way for business owners and developers to get to use the new features which are work-in-progress. As a part of this program, users are allowed to test new features in Windows 11/10, and Microsoft takes feedback on them. The Insider builds change frequently, and so do the new features being added or removed. Today, we will talk about how you can search for and find the features that are present in the latest Windows Insider Preview Build of the day.
The Windows Insider Program helps Microsoft understand the shortcomings of new features from the end users perspective. It is worth mentioning that Microsoft releases pre-release versions of the Windows Software Development Kit alongside the latest Windows Insider Previews. Furthermore, the release notes will include API details, controls, issues, fixes, and more.
Meanwhile, beta testers, tech enthusiasts, developers, and business owners can preview Windows security, management, and productivity features across various builds. This will help them understand the usefulness of the new features and accelerate Windows deployment. One can also submit and track feedback and communicate your needs.
Features in the latest Windows Insider Preview Build

Fast Ring and Slow Ring Windows Insider Builds
After registering for the Windows Insider Program, you will start receiving updates to your device. Two types of builds will be delivered to your device, Minor Build, and Major Build.
As a user, you also get to choose between Slow Ring and Fast Ring deployment channels. There is also the Release Preview Ring. The distinction is given below:
- Fast Ring: Major Build releases, very few servicing builds.
- Slow Ring: Major Build with minor build fixes attached.
- Release Preview Ring: Major Build change at a release milestone, and then a continued series of Servicing Builds until the next release milestone is reached.
If you join the Fast ring, you will be the first one to use and offer feedback on new features. However, since it is the first stage of testing, you will have to handle some bugs and bottlenecks. It is also possible that some features might completely fail. You can report the issues to Microsoft with the help of Feedback Hub.
The Slow ring is for those who want to test out the new features with fewer bugs and failure rates. Slow Ring builds are stable and have been deployed only after considering feedback from the fast ring. That being said, the builds from the Slow Ring will still have some issues, and these will be fixed in the next ring.
