Microsoft is now installing the Windows 10 21H1 build in the Release preview channel, indicating that it will likely be released later this month or in May. Windows 10 21H1 is the next feature update to be released and delivered as an enablement package that enables dormant features already installed on Windows 10 2004 and Windows 20 20H2. Microsoft began testing the Windows 10 21H1 feature update in February after releasing it on the Windows Insider 'Beta' channel.

Yesterday, Microsoft announced that they had moved the Windows 10 21H1 feature update to the 'Release' channel, which indicates that they are very close to releasing it.

"Hello Windows Insiders, today we're releasing 21H1 Build 19043.928 the Beta Channel for those Insiders who are on 21H1. This update is also available for commercial devices in the Release Preview Channel on 21H1 as mentioned here in this blog post," Microsoft announced yesterday.

Now that Windows 10 21H1 is in the release channel for users, we will likely see it released to seekers, those who manually check for new Windows updates, next month.

Microsoft released Windows 10 20H2 in the third week of October, on the 20th, to users who manually 'Checked for updates' in Windows Update.

As Windows 10 21H1 just made it into the Release channel for testing, it will likely not be released to the general public this month and should instead expect it sometime in May. Sadly, Windows 10 21H1 is a very dull release with only a few new features aimed at business users.
