In the latest Insider builds, we're working on adding the ability to set a custom user folder name during setup / OOBE.

Thanks everyone that's shared feedback about this over the years 🙏

@JenMsft is there a blog for when all this stuff makes it to general release? It's great that insiders get all this info, but no one tells everyone else, who are 99% of users?

Or rather that is left to third party blogs and sites. It would be good to have an official blog from Microsoft

@Quentin We do have release notes for retail too when stuff rolls out, yeah. Also a roadmap
@JenMsft oh great! Do you know where it is hidden? Last time I asked someone at Microsoft they weren't aware of anything.

@Quentin the general release notes are here - features like this tend to go out in the optional updates (those are the ones later in the month) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-11-version-24h2-update-history-0929c747-1815-4543-8461-0160d16f15e5

The roadmap with things being worked on is here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/business/roadmap

Windows 11, version 24H2 update history - Microsoft Support

@JenMsft Thank you! Is it possible to subscribe to these via email? It would be great to get these in an email when they come out rather than having to look for them.
