Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20246 Releases

Microsoft currently has released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20246. This test version not only does not bring new features but also deletes some existing features.

New features recently provided, including the new emoji selector, redesigned touch keyboard, voice input, and theme-aware startup screen have been removed.

Microsoft said that these deleted features will be re-available in future versions, but Microsoft did not explain why these new features have been removed.

In addition to this part of the content, this version does not bring other new features worthy of attention. The main update content is to continue to fix known system issues to improve stability.

Changelog

Other updates for Insiders

• Starting soon, the preview experience of the Calendar app will be removed in an upcoming update and return to its classic look and feel. Windows Insiders will see a pop-up notifying them of the changes to the preview experience. No action is needed at this time.  We appreciate all your great ideas and are excited to continue building the best Calendar experience.

Changes and Improvements

• We added automatic Linux distro installation to the wsl.exe --install command! This means that users who wish to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux quickly can just type in wsl.exe –install into the command line and then will have a fully set up WSL instance ready to go, including their Linux distro of choice.
