    I'm sure I'm not alone but thought I'd mention it.

    I notice that even though the channel is set to Canary both the output from winver and System > About show Dev.

    Yes, it showed that on the 1st post on page 1. 😎

    Yes, and also, notice it does not, any longer, show 24H2 😉

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Thanks,

    I already saw that. 😉

    And this:

    • The builds we release to the Canary Channel represent the latest platform changes early in the development cycle and should not be seen as matched to any specific release of Windows and features and experiences included in these builds may never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features may change over time, be removed, or replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they’re ready.

    The 1st bold bit is why I said, notice it's not saying 24H2, anymore, either. They come together, they split apart and the same cycle repeats... IF, one is working with Canary Builds, of course.

    Myself, I took Dev to be short for developmental... since it was, indeed, Canary channel.

    Anyway, cool to have that clarified 👍👍

    Cheers,
