1200 with the awaited new Windows Hello security feature, WPA3 HPE support, and GPU computing in the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
In July, Microsoft officially released the Windows 10 21H2 feature update to Insiders for testing but stated that its new features would be coming later.
GPU compute support in the Windows Subsystem for Linux and Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows deployments for machine learning and other compute intensive workflows.
With today's preview build, Windows 10 21H2 supports the WPA3 protocol on compatible hardware.
GPU compute now supported in WSL2. With the new GPU compute support, Windows Subsystem for Linux users will be able to use NVIDIA CUDA and DirectML to perform machine learning and AI development.
"This feature allows Windows users to use their graphics card to"to accelerate math-heavy workloads and uses its parallel processing to complete the required calculations faster, in many cases, than utilizing only a CPU. This support includes running popular frameworks, such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, directly within WSL2. The Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 is built into all Windows 10 versions, including Windows 10 Home, allowing users of all experience levels to get started with machine learning and AI as long as they have compatible graphics cards.
