Welcome to version 0.18 of Dev Home! In this release, we focused on adding File Explorer source control integration, code health, and quality improvements! Check them out:

Accessibility fixes

  • Narrator should now read out content when the "committing changes" dialog appears on the Virtualization feature management page in Windows customization. (#3640)
  • Environments cards now have a higher contrast. (#3808)

Changes

  • File Explorer source control integration is now available as an experimental feature in Windows Insider Program Dev (26120.1620+) and Beta (22635.4082+) channels.
