Windows 10: Bookmark Tip: Windows Release Information by Microsoft

Microsoft published a new support page on its Docs website that provides administrators and users with information about known issues and fixed issues for Windows.

The page, which is titled Windows 10 release information, includes information for Windows 10, Windows Server, and previous versions of Windows including Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.

If you check the issues of the current version of Windows 10, Windows 10 version 1809, you will find a list of current and resolved known issues listed on the page.



Each issue is listed with a summary, the update it originated in, the status, and last update. Links point to the KB article of the update and to additional details on the Windows 10 Release Information page.

Note: The formatting of the table is fixed, it appears which means that you may not see all columns of the table on the page.

A click on the details link jumps to a section on the same page that describes the issue in detail. There you find information about affected platforms, workarounds, and other information that may help you mitigate the issue ore solve it.

Microsoft lists Windows 10 version 1507 to 1809, Windows Server 2019 and 2016, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2 and 2012 on the page currently. Windows 7, 8.1 and the old server versions are listed under previous versions on the page. The May 2019 Update release will see Windows 10 version 1903 added to the page.

That's not all though; you find a message center listed on the page that lists recent announcements. These announcements provide important information from Microsoft teams and employees in regards to Windows.

Recent announcements include an article on the benefits of Windows 10 Dynamic Updates, information that Windows Server 2008 R2 systems need a servicing stack update to add support for SHA-2 code signing, or that Windows 10 version 1809 is designated for broad deployment. These announcements are posted on various blogs and sites that Microsoft maintains.

Closing Words


The Windows 10 Release Information page is a useful addition as it collects information from various sources and displays them all in a single location. Instead of having to browse dozens of pages to find relevant information, administrators and users find them in a single location.

Known issues alone is useful, as you find all known issues for all supported versions of Windows there. Summaries, descriptions, and links provide all the information that is available in a single location.

The message center offers useful information from Microsoft. While you can follow teams and blogs using various methods -- not all support RSS or email notifications -- it is quite the hassle to stay up to date when it comes to vital Windows related information.

The message center does not support RSS, unfortunately, but you can use a website monitor like Distill for web browsers, Web Alert for Android, or these site monitoring tools.

The usefulness of the resource depends on the update frequency. If Microsoft manages to update the page regularly and shortly after information become available, it could very well become one of the best resources for Windows administrators and users (apart from this blog, of course).

Now You: what is your take on the release information page?

Windows 10 Hub - Bookmarks

Hi Gary,



Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I can understand, how frustrating it can be, when things don’t work as expected.

I'd be glad to help you.

As per your post, it is difficult to retrieve the Bookmark files, which are lost.

There is no option to open Bookmark folders in Microsoft Edge. Alternatively, we can use Internet Explorer to open all the bookmarks at once.

I would suggest you to leave a Feedback in the feedback app. You may simply search for “Windows Feedback” from the search box, or give your feedbacks on Microsoft Edge browser.

Let's try to follow these steps, mentioned below:

• Click on More actions (...) option on right top end corner of Microsoft Edge browser.
• Click on Send feedback tab in the More actions (...) Window, then select
  Problem with Browser and type your feedback in Tell us more Window.

Hope this information helps you. Kindly post back with the updated issue for further assistance.



Thank you.
