According to Azure CTO Mark Russinovich, the most recent Windows 11 Insider Preview build is the first to include the memory-safe programming language Rust. Thurrott reports:
"If you're on the Win11 Insider ring, you're getting the first taste of Rust in the Windows kernel," Russinovich tweeted last night. It's not clear which Insider channel he is referring to, however.
Regardless, that that was quick: Microsoft only went public with its plans to replace parts of the Windows kernel with Rust code in mid-April at its BlueHat IL 2023 security conference in Israel. At that event, Microsoft vice president David Weston said that "we're using Rust on the operating system along with other constructs" as part of an "aggressive and meaningful pursuit of memory safety," a key source of exploits. And it's not just the Windows kernel. Microsoft is bringing Rust to its Pluton security processor as well.

I hate Win 11 so much. My computer runs win 11 and updated this morning. When I got on my lunch break and went to use it instead of my work laptop my second monitor and headphones had stopped working. Fully reinstalled graphics drivers and now my monitor works again but headphones are still borked.

Don't ever get a new version of Windows until at least a year into it's release, if not two.

I don't get on a new version of windows until the previous one is on the last year of security updates.
And even then I'll hold on.

Absolutely. I only swapped to Win10 when MSFS came out because it literally doesn't run on 7.
