A few hours ago, Microsoft rolled out build 25217 to Windows 11 dev channel with fixes for taskbar and widgets, updated Microsoft Store experience, preview of improved Teams chat experience and a hidden UX change for Search.
As usual, the company also released the same build version for Windows Server Insider Preview. Build 25217 is available for download as an ISO from the Windows Server Insider website along with a VHDX. Even though this uses the same underlying kernel as the development of the Windows 11 development version, as usual there is no changelog to speak of. As such, it’s unclear what’s new in this release.
The Server brand has still not been updated and remains Windows Server 2022 in preview. Additionally, Microsoft is asking Insiders to refer to these builds as vNext rather than Windows Server 2022 which is already in the market.
The downloads currently offered are:
- Windows Server VNext Preview ISO – Build 25217
- Windows Server VNext VHDX Preview – Build 25217
- Overview of Microsoft Server Languages and Optional Features – Build 25217
- Overview of Windows Admin Center 2208
In the meantime, valid keys for preview builds are:
- Server standard: MFY9F-XBN2F-TYFMP-CCV49-RMYVH
- Data center: 2KNJJ-33Y9H-2GXGX-KMQWH-G6H67
