I finally got Windows 11 to install in virtual box, after turning on 3D Acceleration with the VBox drivers I got rounded corners... but the settings are still the old ones from windows 10, the context menus are the old ones just rounded... and explorer is the old windows 10 explorer...

 

anyone know how to get this to show the new UI?

 

This was a clean install from the official windows 11 ISO

10.0.21996.1 is the leak, not the official Windows 11, it didn't include much of what was in the official Windows Insider builds.

 

build 22000.51 was the first Windows Insider build to be released https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-releases-the-first-windows-11-build-to-the-dev-channel/

 

You can follow the steps in this article to turn your VM into a supported Windows Insider build and upgrade to an official build https://www.neowin.net/news/how-to-download-and-install-windows-11-insider-builds-on-unsupported-hardware/ because that build does not support updating Windows 11 without modification.

This is the ISO I downloaded from the insider site... that's the version that installed from it... wasn't even thinking about the build number being older... I downloaded it again and did it in Hyper-V got the same build number strangely

 

I never had an ISO from the leak

That is really odd. I went through all the same steps you did and can confirm the name of the ISO the same as yours

You might want to setup that VM again and make sure you are mounting/booting from the correct ISO.

Here are my settings ^ Ensure you are selecting Windows 10 (64-bit) when setting up the clean install.

Windows is now "Downloading the latest Windows 11 build"... no idea what triggered that

Expand  

I never tried the ISO way, maybe it is a staging build that upgrades to the latest one, odd if it is though!

That would (I think) be due to lack of hardware acceleration.

would be odd to be there then not there though, it obviously was working with rounded corners at first then flipped off. maybe its just getting confused about capabilities on updates

Hyper-V acted the same way for me.

I tried forcing WDDM drivers in group policy but it didn’t help. I’m still trying to figure it out.

You have to activate windows to get rounded corners in the last few builds. Same as changing wallpaper within settings.

      It's become a central place at my workplace. I use it for meetings, general chatting between employees, and the teams for storing of files to share between people at work.

      It's a Dell color laser printer. Back when Microsoft kept having these security flaws with the print spooler and recommending you disable it I just got in the habit of it, and I use it so rarely now I just leave it disabled in case another flaw pops up.
    • KDE makes progress toward full Wayland session restore in Plasma 6.5

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      KDE makes progress toward full Wayland session restore in Plasma 6.5 by David Uzondu In the latest issue of This Week in Plasma, the development team, as usual, brings news of ongoing work for the desktop environment. While KDE continues to polish the recently released Plasma 6.4, work has already taken off on the next major version of Plasma, 6.5. A significant step forward is being made on Wayland session restoration; the xx-session-management-v1 restore protocol has been implemented in Qt 6.10, which means KDE applications and Plasma itself can soon start using it to finally bring proper session restore to Wayland. For more immediate user-facing changes in Plasma 6.5, the Welcome Center application now teaches you about the many available keyboard shortcuts, as well as "what the heck the 'Meta' key is." For those who frequently work remotely, Plasma's built-in RDP server now supports syncing clipboard text between the client and server. The clipboard also received another useful feature, letting you copy the QR code for an item, not just view it. The team is also addressing smaller usability issues across the desktop, including fixes that will land in point releases for Plasma 6.4. Spectacle, for example, will no longer show a ghostly semi-transparent version of its menus in screenshots. The New! badge, which was introduced in Plasma 6.4 is now easier to read with better colors. Other notable UI improvements include: A new button on the "missed notifications" pop-up that lets you view what you actually missed. The Networks widget is now much better at telling you what it is doing, like when it is "looking for wireless networks". Inertial scrolling with touchpads is now active in all QtQuick-based KDE software. As always, the KDE team spent the week squashing bugs across various versions of Plasma and related software. Plasma 6.4.1, which went live this Tuesday, addressed several crashes in the desktop portal implementations and patched the open/save dialog, where apps could insert extra UI elements in the wrong places. It also resolved a recent performance regression affecting some games and fixed a strange issue with drawing tablets where the pointer could disappear when two were connected in different modes. 6.4.1 tackled a particularly odd hardware-specific problem with Samsung Odyssey G5 monitors endlessly turning on and off because of a faulty DDC implementation. KDE responded by blacklisting the device. In addition to that, the update fixed an accessibility regression in Discover, corrected an issue where deleting a favorited app left behind a ghost item you couldn't un-favorite, and restored the Window List widget's ability to minimize windows. As for fixes planned for 6.4.2, here's the full list as outlined by the Plasma team: Fixed a case where System Settings' Flatpak App Permissions page could cause the whole app to crash. Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause Plasma to go back to sleep again right after waking up, when the "Sleep then hibernate" setting is in use. The appearance of text labels in Folder View pop-ups is once again correct. You're no longer erroneously prompted to authenticate for a Wireguard VPN whose credentials are already stored in KWallet, and the wallet is set up to automatically open at login. Fixed an issue in the KDE desktop portal's screenshot implementation that prevented the delay setting from taking effect. Missing app backends listed in Discover's Settings page once again show the correct names. The brightness level shown on System Settings' Display & Monitor page now matches the one shown in Plasma. Fixed an issue that caused the panel to have too much space in it until restarting Plasma if you stop displaying the date on a horizontally-laid-out Digital Clock widget. The older Plasma 6.3.6 fixed video stuttering on variable-refresh-rate screens and patched the Weather Report widget after Environment Canada changed its data format. You can check out the full update on the official KDE Blog.

      Enterprise support (ex. Premier Support) is a bit different cup of coffee. I am not saying it is great, but they have SLAs and I have received solution within hours and even patches within 3 days.
