Windows 3.1 build 061d is the official Final Beta release of Windows 3.1 from December 1991.
It is the last build to contain the MS-DOS Executive, which was the shell for Windows 1.0 and Windows 2.x. It is also the last build to contain the Windows 3.0 Easter egg (implemented in USER.EXE), and the earliest build to be compatible with Win32s.
This build's Windows Help system was reused in Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions 1.0.
The incomplete DDK for this build was uploaded on 20 June 2024.[1]

Windows 3.1 BETA Build 68 12/20/91 Includes new files and updated Multi Media Drivers. This is the FINAL BETA Prior to RELEASE!
Changes[edit | edit source]
- The boot screen now has "Final Beta Release" written at the bottom.
- Setup has been revamped again, making it resemble the RTM version.
- The Windows 3.1 Easter egg has been added (implemented in
SHELL.DLL, but dead code in this build as its implementation function never gets called).
Bugs[edit | edit source]
The International applet in the Control Panel crashes when the user first opens it.
