Windows 11 Free Upgrade for Windows 10 Users Only by 1H-2022
Microsoft, in a tweet late last week, announced that while Windows 11 launches later this year in 2021, the operating system won't be made available as a free upgrade to existing Windows 10 users before the first half of 2022. This would mean that existing Windows 10 users wanting to try Windows 11 out this year, might have to purchase a retail or OEM license to Windows 11. "Windows 11 is due out later in 2021 and will be delivered over several months. The rollout of the upgrade to Windows 10 devices already in use today will begin in 2022 through the first half of that year," tweeted the official Windows handle.

For Windows insider builds, Windows Update checks whether you have "optional" diagnostic data enabled. If you don't, it won't provide new insider builds.
Not sure if you can get around that through some hack (maybe with wumgr?), but if you don't get new build updates, it might be that.
Something small they've changed is the taskbar icons by the clock. There's no setting to show all and disable ones you don't want to see. Hope that's not a permanent change.
