Microsoft has already released new Windows Insider Release Preview builds for Windows 11. One release was for Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 23H2, and contained a number of additional features. The other was for the newest version of Windows 11, 24H2. It was originally a pretty minor build in terms of features, but Microsoft rolled out some additional features mostly for its File Explorer section, a day after the initial release.

Microsoft has also released Windows 11 builds for members of the Windows Insider Progam in the Dev Channel and Beta Channel earlier this week. Members of the Canary Channel last got a build on August 15 which got updated two days later on August 17.
