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

What's the build number?  I'm running 22000.132 and it has the new UI.

10.0.21996.1, This was a clean install from the windows 11 ISO... the new start menu / taskbar are there, rounded corners are there, but all the other new UI is missing... even the system tray changes are missing

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

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

duno, this is my first try to get a running install with the ISO before I just upgraded windows 10 installs

Doing something, taking a while too...

ha....... now it's on 10.0.22000.160 but now I have no rounded corners but the other UI elements are there... it flip flopped

 

This is why beta software is fun :)

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 remember back when WDDM came out and it was like this...... didnt get aero randomly, did get it, then didnt......

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.

    • Sure - let's expand on that a bit then to try and be of more help. It's not a one-time use code that can be gamed - each time the proof is required a new transaction takes place to go through the "proof" process. It's a unique step each time. Not a...reusable QR code or pass so to speak. Each time proof is required, a new cryptographic transaction is required. The tricky part here, is trusted issuers. That is still needed. Since this is open source - it doe snot mean that Google has to be the issuer. Google has just provided the tooling to do this, but they don't store the data - to be clear. Presumably, again - you would have some type of government or state issued digital ID that supports the zero-knowledge functions. Effectively, the same entities today that have your information and you (assumingly trust) would continue to have it, it would just be able to be leveraged in a more private manner when you go somewhere or interact with anything requireing age verification. To fake this, someone would need to have a legitimate private key tied to an actual real identity. Cryptographic checks using zero-knowledge would fail otherwise - and again - it can't be used over and over again. Can someone screw up and somehow leak that private key? Sure. No different than leaking your password to your private accounts - a password change would be necessary and let's hope that future implementation of ZKP-based identities bake in some kind of 2FA/MFA for better security. There's not much to hack here, as I said - really comes down to the issuer. If you receive this from the government, none of your real data gets sent to say "MyHubOfChoice.com" when doing age verification - the protocol is only designed to say "Yes - I meet the requirement." Reality is, this keeps you more anonymous than you could ever be today with age verification without having to share anything else about you. However, it's worth stating that anonymity isn't the goal with ZKP - it's removing disclosure. True anonymity is more difficult, as how everything works today to an extent you need to prove who you are with a "trusted" source (ie government/state issued ID). And that data, at the end of the day, does sit in a centralized db as designed. Could that change in the future, perhaps. But the goal of this is just to not have to hand over anymore information than you need to.
    • Oh yeah because its SO hard to duplicate some of the server's logic on the client
    • Software versions increase while older ones are deprecated. This is nothing new, except now it's not included with Windows. Do you not upgrade your software? The biggest issue for me living with 2.0 was that the new versions never upgraded it, it installed side-by-side. I accidentally launched the shite version more than once on accident.
    • They would have to include .NET (not be to be confused with legacy .NET Framework), and they don't. That might be why...dunno. Or maybe because it's open source (guessing)? It's kind of nice to have it separated from the OS.
    • the version 7 needs to be installed separately, why not include it in windows 11 release ?
