Discover Windows 11 Build 22000.829 and all its changes

We’ve had quite a few software releases from Microsoft these days, and we’re about to elaborate on the latest one yet.

Microsoft has just released Build 22000.829 for all of the Windows 11 Insiders that conduct their testing on the Release Preview Channel.

Don’t forget to also check out Windows 11 Build 25158, Windows Server Build 25158, and KB5015807 for Windows 10.

This new build brings, as might have already expected, several bug fixes as well as some new features like for eligible devices to update to a newer Windows 11 version during the out-of-box experience (OOBE) after the first sign-in.

What’s new after installing Build 22000.829?

Let’s start by saying that you will gain the ability for you to consent to receive urgent notifications when Focus Assist is on, after installing the software.

We should also mention the option for eligible devices to update to a newer Windows 11 version during the out-of-box experience (OOBE) when you first sign in.

This means that, if you choose to update to a newer version, the update process will begin shortly after the update is installed on the device.

Furthermore, the tech giant has restored functionality for Windows Autopilot deployment scenarios that are affected by the security mitigation for hardware reuse.

Keep in mind that this update removed the one-time use restriction for self-deploying mode (SDM) and pre-provisioning (PP).

The above-mentioned build also re-enabled any User Principal Name (UPN) display in user-driven mode (UDM) deployments for approved manufacturers.
