Windows 11 will provide new features through the Online Service Experience Packs
Since Windows 10, Microsoft has been testing various service experience packs. The purpose of such experience packs is to provide users with independent feature updates outside of the system update.
Earlier, Microsoft had tested a new content called the update stack package in the Windows 11 development version. The update stack package was mainly used to optimize system module components.
Now Microsoft has begun to test a new type of update called the Online Service Experience Packs, which can provide users with new features without major version updates of the operating system.
The nature of the Online Service Experience Packs is no different from the functional experience package. The essential purpose is to directly provide independent functions to users outside the major version update.
As for why it is renamed, Microsoft may think that it is better to name each experience package independently. The existing ones include functional experience packages, update stack packages, and service experience packages.
The first Online Service Experience Packs is being tested in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22489, and the new feature it brings is to set up account integration in the application.
When the user gets this experience pack update, the account interface of the Windows 11 settings application will be updated to integrate account information such as Microsoft 365.
As Microsoft mentioned in the blog, this new feature is currently only available for testing for some users, so not all users will receive the update.
