Changes[edit | edit source]

The feature has been expanded to many new languages and markets by this point. In addition, the option to disable it in the taskbar, which is in its right click menu, now reads "Turn off" instead of "Hidden" for better understanding of what the option does.

Input Method Editor (IME)[edit | edit source]

These changes are only available to a small group of Insiders, meaning that not everyone will see them right out of the box, and will roll out to the rest of Insiders soon.

The design of the candidate window has been updated to support an enhanced selection view, acrylic transparency, and complete dark theme. Font sizes in the offered text suggestions have been optimized, and a button to quickly access the emoji picker. By this build, only the following languages and input methods support these additions:

Japanese – Microsoft IME
Chinese (Simplified) – Microsoft Pinyin
Chinese (Simplified) – Microsoft Wubi
Chinese (Traditional) – Microsoft Bopomofo
Chinese (Traditional) – Microsoft ChangJie
Chinese (Traditional) – Microsoft Quick
Korean – Microsoft IME
Hindi – Hindi Phonetic
Bangla – Bangla Phonetic
Marathi – Marathi Phonetic
Telugu – Telugu Phonetic
Tamil – Tamil Phonetic
Kannada – Kannada Phonetic
Malayalam – Malayalam Phonetic
Gujarati – Gujarati Phonetic
Odia – Odia Phonetic
Punjabi – Punjabi Phonetic

Version numbering[edit | edit source]

The version displayed in winver and Settings has been updated from 2004 to Dev, reflecting that builds on this channel are not linked to any specific feature update. With this change, and like Windows Server 2022 and the October 2020 Update, the ReleaseId key in the Registry now displays version 2009. In winver also, the copyright date has been changed from 2020 to 2021.

Other changes[edit | edit source]

The new window animations introduced in build 21277 have received updates to feel smoother and faster.
The touch keyboard's candidate bar now only displays 5 maximum candidates, these being centered above the keyboard.
The Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge is now bundled with the operating system itself, replacing the previous one almost entirely. Remnants of legacy version still exist, albeit it is just empty application, which will close immediately after opening it.
The new voice typing experience, first introduced in Iron build 20206 under a controlled rollout, is now available to all Windows Insiders on the Dev Channel.
The ability to pin items in the enhanced clipboard design introduced in build 21296.1000 is now available to all Windows Insiders on the Dev Channel.
More improvements to emoji search in the emoji picker.
The ability to create a screen snip and paste it directly into a File Explorer folder introduced in build 21277 has been temporarily removed due to a bug.
The icon for the Narrator app has been updated.
The default accent color has been updated from 0078D7 to 0078D4, and now just reads "Blue" instead of "Default blue" when hovered over in Settings → Personalization → Colors.
The Microsoft-Windows-CoreSystem-Cellcore-CellularAPI component has been removed in this build. All component owned libraries have thus been removed (ihvrilproxy.dll, rilproxy.dll, cellularapi.dll), except for the wsplib.dll component, which moved to Microsoft-Windows-CoreSystem-Cellcore-SMSRouter.

Bugs[edit | edit source]

News and interests[edit | edit source]

Sometimes the flyout cannot be dismissed with pen.
The flyout uses more taskbar space on the left than expected.

ARM64 Emulation[edit | edit source]

The x64 and x86 emulation subsystem (XTA) is broken in this build. Attempting to launch x64 or x86 executable files may lead to a crash. A workaround is to run the applications under a different x86 emulation mode.
Because the x86 emulation subsystem is broken, first party OS applications such as Microsoft Management Console, PowerShell, any MMC applet is broken in this build.

General[edit | edit source]

Reset this PC with the Keep my files option enabled will fail with the PC rolling back to its previous state. In the meantime, use the Remove everything option instead.
The update process to this build has a chance of hanging for extended periods of time.
The reliability of the Start menu and other modern apps may be affected in this build.
Apps might not be able to be unpinned from the Start menu.
Domain networks appear with the wrong firewall profile, which may block some local network services. As a workaround, configure the network as private to allow local network traffic.
Chinese text for the lunar calendar in the clock and calendar flyout is no longer displaying properly.
Chinese text for the preparing windows screen is incorrect and impolite.
Live preview doesn't work for pinned site tabs on some machines, a gray window is seen instead of the intended content.
It is not recommended to install this build in devices with Bitdefender installed, as these may experience black screens and/or Windows Explorer crashes.
After upgrading to this build, Remote Desktop Connections to Azure Active Directory-joined devices will fail. To workaround this issue, merge the following to the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IdentityStore\LoadParameters\{B16898C6-A148-4967-9171-64D755DA8520}]
“Enabled”=dword:00000001
