Microsoft releases new Windows 10 preview for PCs and phones with handwriting recognition in 23 more languages

Microsoft today announced the release of new Windows 10 builds for PC and mobile for people participating in the fast ring of the Windows Insider Program.

Build 14367 is rolling out just two days after Microsoft released build 14366 for PC and build 14364 for mobile.

Now Windows can perform handwriting recognition in 23 more languages, including Indonesian, Malay, Swahili, Xhosa, and Zulu, Dona Sarkar, a software engineer in Microsoft’s Windows and Devices Group, wrote in a blog post.

And on the PC, the keyboard shortcut for the Feedback Hub has changed. Windows + shift + ? will no longer work; instead you can just hit Windows + F to take a screenshot and open up the Feedback Hub, where you can submit the screenshot.

But also, Sarkar wrote, Microsoft now has a new application called Refresh Windows that will let Windows Insiders easily install a clean installation of the latest version of Windows 10. It’s available here. (Note that it’s only available for builds 14342 or later.)

This build speeds up notifications coming from Windows Phone to your PC. They’ll now appear in a new Windows Phone section in the Action Center. Also on the PC, there are new icons for Update & Security, Windows Update, and Recovery in Settings. On mobile, those new icons will show up too, and Edge will use less battery when it’s running in the background. (See Sarkar’s blog post for a complete list of this build’s bug fixes and known issues.)

And starting with the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update, the Kids Corner feature for mobile will be removed from Windows 10 Mobile. “While not a replacement with the same functionality, you can try out Apps Corner under Settings > Accounts > Apps Corner, which has some of the functionality as Kids Corner such as the ability to give people access to selected apps on your phone, as well as a customized Start screen when they use your phone,” Sarkar wrote.

If you want to try the new previews but you’re not a Windows Insider, you can sign up here.

Update on June 17: The corresponding software development kit (SDK) for build 14367 is now available, Microsoft program manager Clint Rutkas wrote in a blog post.
