Microsoft has confirmed that the modern-looking Registry Editor making the rounds online is simply a sample app designed to showcase Microsoft.UI.Reactor. It’s not a developer preview, nor is it intended to replace the Registry Editor currently included with Windows 11.

The confusion began after reports highlighted the sample without making its purpose particularly clear, leading many to believe Microsoft was preparing to ship it and sparking criticism of the design.

Microsoft executives have now stepped in to clarify that it’s just a sample.

That doesn’t mean the Registry Editor will never get a makeover, however 👀

Windows 11 has 11 notable changes coming in November, but two stand out to us.

Microsoft is finally letting you clean up the cluttered right-click menu, while a new recovery feature can reinstall Windows without requiring a bootable USB drive.
