The above requires 1.44.97 or higher for 1.44.x verification 👍

We'll still need to run through the affected area's mentioned via #24517 (comment) on macOS, Linux and Android Tablet as they haven't ran through the affected areas.

Both Windows & Android ARM (mobile) just need to run a few spot checks.
