Yesterday, along with releasing Windows 11 Beta Channel builds 22621.2048 and 22631.2048, Microsoft also released a couple of Release Preview Channel builds, as well as a Windows 10 Release Preview Channel build (why there’s a Windows Insider program still for Windows 10 is a bit beyond us, but hey). Let’s get caught up:

Windows 11 Release Preview Channel build 22000.2243 (original release)

Along with a long list of addressed issues, there’s one new addition to this build:

  • New! This update affects the Handwriting Software Input Panel (SIP), the Handwriting Engine, and the Handwriting Embedded Inking Control. They now support GB18030-2022 conformance level 2. Because of this, they meet the level 3 requirements.

This build also adds the Handwriting Software Input Panel update as above, as well as addressing a number of the same issues as the original release update. Check out the blog post for the details.

Windows 10 Release Preview Channel build 19045.3269

Many of the same fixes to the builds above also are coming to Windows 10 with this Release Preview Channel build.
