Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23403
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23403 to the Dev Channel.
As a reminder, we have rebooted the Dev Channel to begin flighting 23000 series builds as announced earlier this week
Note: Windows Insiders who were previously in the Dev Channel on 25000 series builds are being moved to the new Canary Channel.
If you are on Build 25309 and haven’t been moved to the Canary Channel yet, you will not receive this build as it has a lower build number than the build you are already on.
However, the migration continues to happen in the background and once complete you will receive the latest build available.
Can’t wait? If you want the latest builds immediately, you can move yourself to the Canary Channel on your own via Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program.
Or follow these instructions to do a clean installation of Windows 11 and then re-join the Dev Channel to receive 23000 series builds going forward.
Insiders in the Beta Channel can move to Dev Channel via the settings as well and receive this build without additional steps.
Since we have rebooted the Dev Channel for flighting 23000 series builds, we’re also rebooting the content in the blog posts for Dev Channel flights
