Windows 12 — Almost Ready

After a thorough analysis of build 29580, I’ve identified several indicators pointing toward the next-generation Windows experience:

- the system contains new wallpapers prepared for the upcoming release  

- there are new UI icons and refreshed interface elements present in the build  

- the build includes new animations and transitions that are not used in the current Windows 11 UI  

- WinSxS already holds components of the new shell, which are present but not yet activated  

- based on Microsoft’s information published on the Build site, the new system is expected to arrive this summer, which aligns with the stabilizing nature of 29580

 

Overall, this build feels like the final staging phase before the new UI is enabled, with all major components already in place and waiting for activation.
