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.

    • Sony's region restrictions on PC begin lifting, bringing back PlayStation ports for everyone

    • Sony's region restrictions on PC begin lifting, bringing back PlayStation ports for everyone

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Sony's region restrictions on PC begin lifting, bringing back PlayStation ports for everyone by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe 2023 was when Sony began its region-locking initiative on the PC platform. The move affected over 100 countries, restricting the purchase of popular PlayStation ports and live service experiences for anyone in the regions outside of Sony's choosing. However, it seems the company is finally opening up access to these countries, starting today. While Sony has made no official announcements, which was also how the original restrictions came to be, users in these regions have begun seeing most of the publisher's catalog reappearing on their Steam store platforms. The change can be seen on affected games' SteamDB histories as well. For example, on Helldivers 2, a popular but blocked multiplayer game from before, it can be seen that the 'PurchaseRestrictedCountries' flag has been removed from a large number of countries just a few hours ago, on June 13. The controversy began in 2023 when Sony began requiring PlayStation Network accounts for their PC ports, even for games that did not have any online elements. Following an uproar, especially regarding Helldivers 2, the company reversed course and made it an optional account on PC. Unfortunately, Sony did not lift the regional restrictions it placed on the countries that do not officially support PlayStation Network accounts, which amounts to well over 100 regions. As for what may have changed the company's mind about this, Stellar Blade may have played a big role. The Sony-published action game by Shift Up just released on PC to an absolutely massive audience, with it already touting almost 200,000 concurrent players on the Steam platform. While its demo was originally region restricted, the developer had worked with Sony to remove these locks and launch the game globally. Just a few days later, almost the entire PlayStation catalog has gone through the same process. Interestingly, while massive PlayStation titles like Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered are back to being available across most regions, it seems Ghost of Tsushima is still under the original restrictions. It's unclear why the title has not joined the rest in shedding its locks.
    • Microsoft launches Copilot Vision on Windows, allowing AI to see what is on your screen

      Easy to switch off Ai on macOS, just a couple of clicks, something that is not possible on Windows, it is just hidden. Even Android it is possible at the moment to switch off AI, by not installing the app and keeping Google Assistant as it is. Not really possible to use anything else but IOS or Android for smartphones, since that is all that is available, unless I go for a non-smart phone. My problem, certainly with Windows, is that Ms thinks we all want to use AI and don't make it easy to disable. I only use my Windows machine for games these days and will be staying with Windows 10. I use my Mac for everything else, at least Apple gives the choice as i said above to turn AI off.

      I think X3D is distinct from "X" alone, weren't most early X3D chips clock locked?
