No, this isn't Windows 11's new modernized Registry Editor - Microsoft confirms "this is a sample" and not the real thing after outrage online
Windows Central • • technology
Key Points:
- Microsoft clarified that the recently discovered modern Registry Editor app for Windows 11 is merely a sample app created to demonstrate Microsoft.UI.Reactor technology, not an official replacement for the existing Registry Editor.
- The sample app was mistakenly reported by some outlets as a real upcoming feature, leading to user criticism due to its unfinished design, prompting Microsoft executives to publicly correct the misunderstanding.
- Microsoft VP Scott Hanselman and Windows Insider lead Marcus Ash confirmed on X that the app is a sample, not a developer preview or an imminent update for Windows 11.
- Although the showcased app is not representative of any current Windows development, sources indicate that a modernized Registry Editor is planned under the Windows K2 initiative, but it is not an immediate priority.
- The future modern Registry Editor for Windows 11 is expected to differ significantly from the sample app and is part of ongoing efforts to update Windows components in due course.
