Hope they laid off whatever middle managers thought it was a good idea to rebrand AAD as "Microsoft Entra ID" and Yammer as "Viva Engage," costing Microsoft some valuable brand recognition. -

Microsoft removes PowerShell 2.0 from Windows 11 in build 27891 by Taras Buria Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 preview build from the Canary Channel. Build 27891 is out with several improvements and fixes, a new feature for the Microsoft Store, and the removal of PowerShell 2.0, which is now deprecated. Microsoft deprecated PowerShell 2.0 all the way back in Windows 10 version 1709. Last month, it issued a reminder about it, and now, PowerShell 2.0 is gone from the latest Windows 11 Canary builds. Microsoft says it will publish more information about PowerShell 2.0 removal in the upcoming update for Windows 11. Also, Microsoft is rolling out a new update for the Microsoft Store. Version 22406 is rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels, offering the ability to install a product right from the Store's home page, as seen in the screenshot below: Here is what was fixed: [General] We fixed the issue causing the “Reset this PC” option under Settings > System > Recovery to not work after upgrading the last few Canary Channel builds. Fixed the underlying issue which was causing the taskbar to unexpectedly not showing acrylic material after upgrading to the latest Canary builds. This also impacted a few other scenarios, leading to unexpected black or white in some UI. Fixed an underlying issue believed to be the cause of some Insiders seeing Windows update downloads to get stuck at 2% recently. Fixed a few more languages including Vietnamese and Arabic that were still having issues with certain characters not rendering correctly for Insiders after the latest builds, causing nonsense to display in places like Task Manager and more. This impacted characters outside of A-Z. [File Explorer] Fixed an issue where if you opened the “…” menu in the File Explorer address bar to show the full list of folders for the current path, the dropdown might be cut off and the bottom of it inaccessible. [Settings] Fixed an issue in the previous build which could cause Settings to crash when opening microphone properties under Settings > System > Sound. Fixed an underlying issue related to Bluetooth which could cause Settings or Quick Settings to crash on launch for some people. [Windowing] Fixed an issue which was causing the window minimizing animation to not display correctly in the previous flight. [Task Manager] Fixed an issue where the CPU graphs in the Performance page were still using the old CPU utility calculations. Fixed an issue where after adding the new CPU Utility column, you might notice that System Idle Process always showed as 0. [Audio] Fixed an issue which could cause all system sounds to stop working (for example notification alert sound and the sound that plays when clicking the volume slider in quick settings), although audio in general was working on your PC. [Other] Fixed an underlying issue which was causing fonts in certain app menu items to unexpectedly appear corrupted or overlapped for some people. This also impacted typing in Word – where when using Hebrew a period may unexpectedly show as a 3, and in Thai typing space may show a 2. Fixed an underlying issue which could cause the playback controls in Media Player to become distorted in the latest Canary flights. Fixed an underlying issue believed to be the cause of LDAP queries from apps to take an unexpectedly long time in the previous flight. Fixed an issue which could cause print previews to appear slightly blurry in recent Canary flights. Here is the list of known issues: [General] [IMPORTANT NOTE FOR COPILOT+ PCs] If you are joining the Canary Channel on a new Copilot+ PC from the Dev Channel, Release Preview Channel or retail, you will lose Windows Hello pin and biometrics to sign into your PC with error 0xd0000225 and error message “Something went wrong, and your PIN isn’t available”. You should be able to re-create your PIN by clicking “Set up my PIN”. [Settings] [NEW] We’re investigating an issue in this build which could cause Settings to crash when interacting with the options under Settings > System > Power & Battery. [Remote Desktop] [NEW] You may see extreme graphical distortion and rendering issues using remote desktop on Arm64 PCs in this build. You can find full release notes for build 27891 in a post on the official Windows Blogs website. -

Sounds like corporate spamming being painted as a "feature"...so long as it can be blocked like any other random creep messaging you, no biggie. -
