Windows App Essentials
- Authors: Joseph Lee, Derek Riemer and others
Note: Originally called Windows 10 App Essentials, it was renamed to Windows App Essentials in 2021 to support Windows 10 and future releases such as Windows 11. Parts of this add-on will still refer to the original add-on name.
This add-on is a collection of app modules for various modern Windows apps, as well as enhancements and fixes for certain controls found in Windows 10 and later.
Note:
- This add-on requires 64-bit Windows 10 22H2 (build 19045)/11 23H2 (build 22631) or later.
- Feature update support duration is tied to consumer support duration (Home, Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations editions) and the add-on may end support for a feature update prior to end of consumer support. See https://aka.ms/WindowsTargetVersioninfo for more information and support dates.
- Although installation is possible, this add-on does not support Windows Enterprise LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) and Server releases.
- Not all features from Windows Insider Preview builds will be supported, more so for features introduced to a subset of Windows Insiders.
