The Windows 11 preview has it's own version of an I/O uring API. This suggests that a design that takes into account I/O uring on Linux will also benefit Windows.

The only official documentation I have found is some headers in the SDK (ioringapi.h and ntioring_x.h). There is also a blog post on windows-internals.com.
