Windows 10: What’s new in Windows 10 Build 18277 for Insiders

Windows 10 Build 18277 is available for those subscribed to the Fast and Skip Ahead rings. Windows 10 19H1 Build 18277 brings many features on board and there are some changes that will greatly improve the user experience.

What’s new in Windows 10 Build 18277


Microsoft has added new features to Windows 10 with Build 18277 and here’s a closer look at the changes introduced in today’s build.

Focus Assist in Full screen


Microsoft had introduced Focus assist in the Windows 10 April 2018 Update to help users to reduce the notifications. Today the company is improving the feature by adding a new option which lets you turn on focus assist automatically when you are working in Full-screen mode. For Example, when you’re watching a movie, studying etc. in full-screen mode, the focus assist gets turned on automatically.

This feature basically helps you to reduce the number of distractions while you are working or studying. To enable this option, you would need to go to Settings > System > Focus Assist > Customize Priority List and check the box.

Action Center Improvements




Microsoft is improving the Action Center and the brightness quick action button is now available as a slider. You will be able to customize your quick actions directly from the Action Center without having to go to the Settings page.

Introduction of Emoji 12


One of the most important changes which Build 18277 has introduced is the new Emoji 12 support. You will be able to use the emoji by going to the emoji panel (WIN +.) and the touch keyboard. However since the feature is still in beta, users might find some changes or improvements before the final release.

High DPI Improvements


The High DPI setting was introduced with Build 17063 and Microsoft has today enabled the new High DPI feature by default in the latest build which automatically addresses scaling issues and also reduce the “Fix blurry apps” notification.

New Windows Defender Application Guard Setting for Windows Security


Microsoft is introducing a new toggle which lets you manage access to camera and microphone while browsing using the Application Guard for Microsoft Edge. For this to be enabled you need to go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone & Settings > Privacy > Camera.

Cortana + Amazon Alexa improvements


Microsoft recently announced a preview program for US customers to allow them to call up Cortana on Amazon Alexa Echo device and Alexa on Windows 10 PCs by enlisting Cortana through Amazon Alexa Echo device. Today the company is launching a new survey to improve the experience even further.

You would need to click the microphone icon in Windows Search on your Windows 10 PC and say ‘’Hey Cortana, open Alexa’. Or, on your Amazon Echo device, say “Alexa, open Cortana” on Echo devices.

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

Wow, sounds like those who are bandwidth limited could be screwed, or find a internet cafe or library to get the needed ISO.
