Windows 11 Insiders are struggling to install new builds
Earlier today, we presented Microsoft’s newly released Insider build on the Windows 11 Dev Channel. The new build 25276 brings a new Task Manager feature, a new OneDrive upgrade alert, and several bug fixes.
As we’ve all grown accustomed to, there is also a list of open issues that Microsoft is currently investigating and trying to find a fix for.
And while some of the issues are older ones that the company is still looking into, a new issue has been noted by the Redmond tech giant which indicates that the company is aware of user reports and problems when it comes to the download speeds of recent Windows 11 Insider builds.
Brandon LeBlanc, Microsoft’s Senior Program Manager on the Windows Insider Program Team, who happens to be a very active social networking person, mentioned that the Redmond company is actively looking into the Insider build upgrade issue.
Microsoft hasn’t offered more details on the matter, so we’re just going to have to wait and see what will happen in the near future.
