Windows 10: Microsoft tests Build 18362.263 for Windows 10 May 2019 Update

Windows 10 Build 18362.263 could be the next cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1903. The update is currently rolling out to Insiders in Release Preview Ring and it comes with noticable improvements, including fixes for a bug when dragging emoji panel.

Build 18362.263 comes without a changelog, but some users are reporting that Microsoft has backported fixes from Windows 10 20H1 Build 18917. The fixes included in the update should go live for non-Insiders in the coming days after Microsoft evaluates feedback from the early testers.

Microsoft has fixed an issue that caused unexpected lags when dragging the emoji and dictation panels on desktop. Microsoft has also addressed a bug associated with taskbar and system will now hide the taskbar before launching the Start menu when autohide taskbar feature is enabled.

The recent Windows updates


It’s also worth noting that Microsoft released fresh updates for Windows 10 version 1803 and older earlier this week, but an update for version 1903 is pending and it should show up by next week. The second July cumulative update is expected to include quality improvements and general fixes.

The last patch (KB4507453) for May 2019 Update was released on July 9, but it included a limited number of fixes and most of the changes were aimed at enterprises.

Microsoft is also testing a Windows 10 Servicing Stack Update with Insiders and it should be pushed to the general public alongside with the patch.

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

 

Microsoft Office 2019 Will Run on Windows 10, and Only Windows 10

How is this news or surprising to anyone?

Especially when there are viable and arguably better open-source alternatives out there.. For those of us who don't use Microsoft Office, this isn't a problem.

 

Microsoft Office 2019 Will Run on Windows 10, and Only Windows 10

As reported yesterday, Microsoft changed the way how they license Windows 10 to their OEM partners. But buckle in folks, the changes just keep on coming. In what looks like an effort to push Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 owners to upgrade, Microsoft has officially announced that Office 2019 will only work on machines with Windows 10 and the next LTSC release of Windows Server. That's only the tip of the iceberg though. Unlike previous version of Office that came with 10 years of support, Office 2019's support lifecycle is shortened to five years of mainstream support and two years of extended support. Additionally, the client applications are only available with a Click-to-Run installer. However, Microsoft will continue to provide a MSI installer for the server applications.
