You can now install Windows 11’s next big update early

Microsoft’s 24H2 update for Windows 11 includes HDR background support, energy saver, Sudo for Windows, Rust in the Windows kernel, and more.

Microsoft is releasing its next Windows 11 update to its Release Preview ring today. It’s the final ring of testing before the 24H2 update will be available to all Windows 11 users. The update includes HDR background support, energy saver, Sudo for Windows, Rust in the Windows kernel, and more. Microsoft will officially roll the update out through Windows Update later this year, but you can grab the final version through the Windows Insider option inside the Windows Update section of Windows 11.

Microsoft is using sudo inside Windows to let developers run elevated tools directly from an unelevated console session. You can configure the sudo command in three modes: a new window; with input disabled; and inline. The most similar mode to Linux’s sudo is inline, whereas the other modes are more locked down.
