By the way, Device Cards in Settings has been updated to provide more clarity on information about your device for better readability and streamlined navigation for improved user experience and In Settings About, we’ve enhanced it to deliver a more structured and intuitive experience, empowering users with device insights, and seamless navigation to related device components – including quick access to Storage settings., that means what I see has changed?

As being insider almost ten years I have long time ago stop wondering why I have / dont' have some new features. Those may caome and go as MS is testing those. Just wait and eventually those will appear. At the moment some of my previews on different channels have new start menu, but not all of those even if it's already released those channel.

So, I assume what you posted is the new change by Microsoft. They have taken out part of the settings.

Hi Paul,

Things change. I believe this has now

replaced System Properties at least on Dev:

You also have Device and Windows Specs.

What more are you looking for?

KB5072033 is not an Insider version. I am in the Insider channel. You must be in the retail version.

If the System Properties section in the About settings of Windows 11 is intermittently disappearing, it could be due to a few reasons, such as issues with the Windows Insider Preview build you are using or temporary glitches in the settings interface. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue:

Restart Your PC: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary glitches.
Check for Updates: Ensure that your Windows 11 is up to date. Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for any available updates.
Reset Settings: If the problem persists, you might consider resetting the Settings app. You can do this by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, finding the Settings app, and selecting Advanced options to reset it.
Feedback Hub: Since you are using Windows Insider Preview, consider reporting the issue through the Feedback Hub. This can help Microsoft identify and resolve the problem in future updates.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be a bug specific to the Insider build you are using, and you may need to wait for a subsequent update to fix it.
