Latest Windows 10 Insider Build expands handwriting support, adds feedback shortcut

Microsoft has released preview build 14367 of Windows 10 to members of the Insider Program. Those who have opted in should receive the update imminently across PC and mobile devices.

The latest version of the operating system expands handwriting recognition support for different languages. A whopping 23 languages are being added, including Indonesian, Malay, and for the first time, African tongues like Swahili and Zulu.

There’s also a new shortcut that should make it easier for Insider Program members to give feedback. Using the Windows key + F combination opens up the Feedback Hub and attaches a screenshot of whatever’s on your display at the time, replacing the former shortcut of Windows key + Shift + ?, which will now be discontinued. Users on mobile devices can use the volume down and power buttons in conjunction to head straight to the Feedback Hub.

Build 14367 also marks the official debut of the clean install tool that was uncovered on Thursday. The utility provides an easy way to perform a fresh installation of Windows 10; it can be accessed from the Settings app.

Meanwhile, there’s a host of smaller tweaks and fixes included with the updates. These include improvements to cross-device notifications via Cortana, which should be quicker to appear and generally more reliable.

Microsoft has also announced its intention to remove a feature from Windows 10 Mobile alongside the impending Anniversary Update. Owing to a lack of usage, development of Kids Corner is coming to an end, and the option will no longer be available as of the update this July.

Insider Program members in the Fast Ring should receive the update soon, although there were some reported delays as a result of the development team testing out new builds internally.

Full patch notes for build 14367 can be found in this post on the Windows Blog.

Microsoft is axing support for its own apps on Windows 10

Microsoft has announced that support for Microsoft 365 apps on Windows 10 will end this year on October 14, as reported by The Verge. This is also the end-of-support date for Windows 10 as a whole, but the move is still a little surprising considering that Microsoft is now offering the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) Program.

Anyone who joins this program for $30 can continue to safely use Windows 10 for a whole extra year -- so you might think that Microsoft would let them continue to use the Office apps too. That said, it's not like the apps will disappear, they just won't receive any more updates. According to Microsoft, this could cause "performance and reliability issues over time" but whether these issues will pop up within the ESU program's duration or not is anyone's guess.

As spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft has confirmed in an update to its Windows 11 24H2 problems page, that Windows 11 24H2 is causing issues with its Auto HDR feature. The result of the bug is that incorrect colors are being displayed or, even worse, are breaking games entirely and causing them to not be responsive.
