Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 Insider Preview update in the Canary Channel, bringing significant changes for musicians, gamers, and everyday users.

Revamped MIDI Experience

One of the biggest updates is the new Windows MIDI Services, which completely improves how MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) works on Windows. MIDI, a technology used by musicians to control electronic instruments and lighting, is now more powerful with support for MIDI 2.0.

What’s New in MIDI 2.0?

  • Faster and more accurate sound control
  • Better timing and smoother playback
  • Works well with all modern processors, including ARM64
  • Multiple apps can use the same MIDI device at the same time

Better Game Installation Options

Gamers will also benefit from this update. The Microsoft Store now allows flexible game installations, meaning you can choose which parts of a game to install. For example, if you're installing Halo, you can skip high-resolution textures or the campaign mode to save space.

Easier OneDrive Sync Between Phone and PC

Microsoft is also making file transfers between your phone (iOS/Android) and PC easier. Now, you can resume downloading OneDrive files in one click, making work and file management smoother.

This update is part of Microsoft’s ongoing effort to enhance user experience on Windows 11. Stay tuned for more improvements!
