I wish they release a tool for their system to work properly. Like connecting to Bluetooth headphones or no full cpu load out of nowhere.
Those are premium windows 14 features.
Imagine they skip 12 and call it 13 like they did with W10
Microsoft always has such a weird relationship with naming conventions... just look at Xbox and all of its descendants.
Instructions unclear, advertisements added to start menu 
That "system interrupts" is extremely important.
The bug bash quests can be found in the Windows Feedback Hub, and partaking in the bug bash often concludes with a badge in the Feedback Hub that acknowledges your participation.
Imagine doing free QA for a multibillion dollar corporation. I hate Microsoft so much.
If you’re curious and always eager to get new features what’s the problem. You fulfil your curiosity and give some feedback to the company,
So what are the hidden features? The article doesn't say and I scrolled through all the comments and nothing popped out at me other than a bunch of comments of people bashing windows and sucking their own dicks over Linux?
sucking their own dicks over Linux
This one trick explains why people who use Linux love it so much!
The hidden features are flags that Microsoft enables or disables for random users as part of A/B testing. The article contains a link to the various flags that can be enabled depending on your edition and version of Windows.
Usual info-free article with clickbait headline. Tinfoil-heads will call it a "troll / honey-pot", designed to attract and identify 'troublemakers'.
And from that comment section, it's working.
I just want it to stop self-destructing every two hours when I’m running it as a VM under Linux.
Maybe that's one of the features you can enable.
Ah, you must have it set to Windows Millennium Edition mode
Assuming it's precisely at the 2 hour mark, do you have snapshots enabled for that VM? If so, try turning them off.
The biggest thing I want is to just move the task bar to the top of the screen. I can't use my finger on my Surface tablet unless I remove the keyboard. Such idiocy..
Use StartAllBack. Not only does it restore the old Taskbar features, it also lets you do even more things, like have the Start button on the left but keep the icons centered, and customize the transparency level (among other things). You can even use your favorite era of Start menu (7, 8.1, 10). Personally I'm using Win7's Start Menu with Windows 11-related buttons added in (like Settings).
(Edit: It does cost $5 after a 90 day trial, but that's less than the cost of lunch, and with all the features you're getting I'd gladly pay 10x the amount.)
Nice try, Microsoft, trying to get people to use Windows 11. Just focus on fixing Windows 12 and cut your losses.
Does it make Windows 11 not total dogshit?
Oh wait, no, it's still Windows 11.
It says that the tool is being shared around online but I can't find it, anyone know where to get it? Just curious is all.
Isn't this the same as BMW locking away functionality that exists in the product you purchased?
Not at all. It's to by-pass the A/B testing of features part of the early insiders ring. And as the article says, there are already unofficial tools to do the same thing. Now we just have the 'official' command line tool made by MS, nothing more.
