Windows 10: What’s new and improved in Windows 10 Build 18298 for Insiders

Microsoft today surprisingly released a new Windows 10 Build 18298 for Insiders in the Fast Ring. The latest build is from the next update dubbed ’19H1′ and it comes with many new improvements.

There are no new features included in the build but Microsoft has made a lot of improvements based on the feedback by Insiders.

What’s new in Windows 10 Build 18298


Windows 10 Build 18292 comes with File Explorer improvements, new Start menu changes, Notepad features and more.

File Explorer improvements




Microsoft has updated the File Explorer icon to make it better with the new light theme introduced some time back.

Default downloads folder sorting


Microsoft is now making changes to the default sorting by introducing “Most recent downloaded file” at the top of the sorting list. This makes it easier for users to find the latest downloaded file even if they have not changed the file name. You also have the option to switch the sortings by going to the View tab in File Explorer.

Start menu improvements




Microsoft had introduced the ability to unpin groups and folders in Start via a context menu entry. This is now available for all Insiders in the Fast Ring.

Touch keyboard improvements


Microsoft has made some improvements to the Touch keyboard which now brings more accuracy to the words while typing faster.

Console Updates


There are some improvements made to the console with a new “Terminal tab” introduced in the properties page with new settings to enable new and experimental features to be rolled out in future updates.

Notepad Updates


There are some improvements made to the Notepad encoding with Microsoft adding the option to save files in UTF-8 which now will be the default Byte Order Mark for new files.

Additionally, a new column to the status bar has also been added that displays the encoding of the document. Notepad now has a new Modified indicator and will show an asterisk (*) in the title bar which indicates any unsaved changes to the documents.

Narrator Improvements


Starting with this build, you will find a new Narrator Home which gives access to everything you need for the Narrator or to learn the Narrator basics. You can turn off or remove the Narrator Home by going to the Alt + Tab list.

Windows Update Notifications


With Windows 10 19H1, Microsoft is making improvements to the Windows Update Notifications which now shows the Power button in the Start menu with orange indicator alerting you to restart your device to update to newer builds.

As you can see, Microsoft has updated Windows 10 with tons of changes based on the feedback provided by Insiders. The latest build is currently rolling out and if you are enrolled in the Fast Ring, then you can get it by going to Settings > Windows Update > Check for Update.

Get a Windows 10 licence for free if you register on Windows Insider

from Gabe Aul today : http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwi...changes-to-windows-10-insider-preview-builds/

well from the sounds of it, anyone who UPGRADED to windows 10 Preview wont have to do anything as it already has your Serial win 7/8.1 key logged.

The crux of it is this:

• Do you want to continue as a Windows Insider and keep getting preview builds after 7/29?
• Or do you want to upgrade your Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 system that has been getting Windows 10 Insider Preview builds to the 7/29 release and stop being an Insider?

“I want to continue as a Windows Insider!” If you want to continue as a Windows Insider past 7/29 there is nothing you need to do. You’re already opted in and receiving builds in the Fast or Slow ring depending upon your selection. This is prerelease software and is activated with a prerelease key. Each individual build will expire after a time, but you’ll continue to receive new builds so by the time an older prerelease build expires you’ll have received a new one. Since we’re continuing the Windows Insider Program you’ll be able to continue receiving builds and those builds will continue to be activated under the terms of the Windows Insider Program. We provide ISOs for these builds for recovery from any significant problems, but they are still pre-release software. As part of the program we’ll upgrade Insiders to what is for all intents and purposes the same build as what other customers will get on 7/29, but that will be just another build for Insiders, and those who stay in the program will simply get the next build after as well.

“I want to opt out of the Windows Insider Program on 7/29.” If you decide to opt-out of the program and upgrade to the 7/29 build you will be subject to exactly the same terms and conditions that govern the offer* that was extended to all Genuine Windows 7 and 8.1 customers. This is not a path to attain a license for Windows XP or Windows Vista systems. If your system upgraded from a Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 license it will remain activated, but if not, you will be required to roll back to your previous OS version or acquire a new Windows 10 license. If you do not roll back or acquire a new license the build will eventually expire.

It is our hope that the vast majority of Windows Insiders who have been with us since we announced the program last year will continue forward, and it was in that light that we authored the blog post about upcoming changes to the program. I regret that this caused confusion about who was or was not eligible for the Windows 10 upgrade offer, but hope that this helps to clarify.

Thanks,
g
