Windows 11 build 25126 puts better subscription management in settings

Today, Microsoft is releasing this week’s Windows 11 Insider Preview build to the Dev channel. The big new feature in Windows 11 Insider Preview build 25126 is an improved subscription management page in Settings.

In fact, the specific improvement being made has nothing to do with subscriptions at all. It’s quite the opposite, in fact. Microsoft is adding Office perpetual licenses that are tied to your Microsoft account to that page. That means that if you own products like Office 2019 or Office 2021, you’ll see them there. You’ll also see a ‘View Details’ button that will let you install the product.

That’s actually about it. Aside from that, Windows 11 build 25126 has a range of fixes.

It’s always worth noting that the Dev channel is for testing out new features, and these builds aren’t tied to a specific release of Windows 11. It’s recommended that you don’t run these builds on your main machine, and that there are actual features you want to test available, before you put stability of your PC at risk.

The Beta channel is always a little bit more safe, as it tends to be more stable, with previews of actual feature updates. Right now, the Beta channel is actually very close to offering an RTM build of Windows 11 version 22H2, if the existing build isn’t the one that got signed off. We should be hearing more about that soon, and then it will be serviced with cumulative updates until this fall.

If you’re on the Dev channel, you can get today’s build via Windows Update. If you’re not, you can enroll by going to the Windows Insider Program tab in Settings.
