Windows 10 build 20221 is the fourteenth Insider Preview build of Iron, the 21H1 development semester of Windows as a service. It was released to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel on 23 September 2020.
New features and changes[edit | edit source]
Shell[edit | edit source]
The "Meet Now" Skype feature contains integration to the Windows taskbar. This feature is disabled by default on clean installations, but it can be enabled by toggling Velocity ID 28170999 via ViveTool, and then restarting Windows. It is not available on Azure Active Directory (AAD) user accounts or Enterprise SKUs.
The People app no longer appeared as a standalone app in the Start menu when upgrading, and as a result, it was only accessible from the Mail and Calendar apps.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
- The update process to this build has a chance of hanging for extended periods of time.
- Live preview doesn't work for pinned site tabs.
- Some Office applications may either crash or go missing after updating to this build.
- There's a chance of the Settings app crashing when opening Manage Disks and Volumes.
- There's a chance of randomly encountering a BSOD with the error code
KMODE_EXCEPTIONwhen using certain virtualization technologies. - Sometimes, when starting up a WSL2 distro, there's a chance of randomly encountering the error “The remote procedure call failed”.
- The vEthernet adapter used in WSL2 distros can randomly disconnect itself after a certain period of time.
- When some Insiders updated to this build, they encountered a Compatibility Assistant notification that said “Microsoft Office is no longer available”. Despite the warning, the installed apps from the suite were still available and functional.
- Clean installations for this build still contain the People app on the Start menu.
