Win10 RS1 Preview 14251 or contains the mysterious Linux subsystem Android migration project regression?

Previously, we also reported that we first discovered the Android subsystem Project Astoria project on a Win10 Mobile system version. A similar file appears on the latest Win10 Redstone desktop system 14251, suggesting that the system is also accessing the Linux subsystem.

Windows Hacking Walking Cat said on Twitter that it found LXCore.sys and LXss.sys on Windows 10 Preview 14251, but only Win10 Mobile existed before and was removed later.

“What the hell? Windows 10 14251 has lxcore.sys and lxss.sys? Are they part of the Astoria project? Is it not a mobile version? - WalkingCat(@ h0x0d)January 28, 2016”

But things are not clear. Because the Win10 desktop system does not require a Linux subsystem, the application ecosystem is not as large as Win10 Mobile, but the Win10 Server server version may benefit from the Linux subsystem, so this has little to do with the average Win10 consumer.

As an alternative, Project Astoria related to the Android porting application is still likely to return. Build 14251 is the first Win10 unified core system, meaning that Win10 Mobile, desktop and Xbox One will be coordinated. Another reason why Project Astoria is out of favor may be that it is only available on Win10 Mobile. Turning an Android app into a generic mode may be a new idea. Anyway, it’s still too far from the truth.

One of the reasons why the Astoria project fell out of favor is that Android apps can only run on Windows 10 Mobile, and generic apps can solve the problem of lack of applications. Whatever the reason, it really should be announced soon. The great gods may wish to study it first.
