Microsoft has released Windows 11 Build 27975 to Insiders on the Canary channel. It doesn't include drastic changes, instead focusing on bugfixes. Recently, the branch name from which builds are released changed to BR_RELEASE. This is due to internal operating system development cycles. The Windows Insider team treats these builds the same as builds from the RS_PRERELEASE branch.
However, due to the branch change, some features have been temporarily removed from Insider builds. Microsoft plans to bring them back in the future. BR_RELEASE builds do not represent any feature update for Windows 11.
