Apparently that Windows Version is for the Windows 11 Preview.
That appears to be an alpha quality product, from bug fix announcements.
I didn't find anything much useful from MS or articles only features.
You might want to reach out for help via the Windows Feedback Hub, 
and/or MS App Assure re compatibility if your org has 150+ licenses.
