Windows 10: Windows 10 Build 18262 now available for Insiders with new features

Microsoft has been busy fixing issues and bugs reported after the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update. Today the company is releasing a new Insider preview build 18262 from the 19H1 branch for Insiders enrolled in the Fast and Skip Ahead Ring.

What’s New:

Microsoft has introduced a new DPI Awareness option in the Task Manager. The option helps users in knowing the DPI awareness per process. To show the column, you need to right click on the column headers in the Details tab and then click “Select Columns” and then add “DPI Awareness” to the list.

Microsoft has also introduced the ability to uninstall preinstalled Windows 10 inbox apps by going to the context menu on the Start menu. You will now be able to uninstall apps like 3D Viewer (previously called Mixed Reality Viewer), Calculator, Calendar, Groove Music, Mail, Movies & TV and more.

Users were able to uninstall apps like Microsoft Solitare Collection, OneNote, Paint3D and more in Windows 10 October 2018 Update and earlier. The company has added more apps to the list in the latest insider build.

Microsoft has made some improvements to the Troubleshooting by allowing users to automatically fix or recommended troubleshooting for issues. You would need to go to Settings>Update & Security>Troubleshoot (new option in Build 18262). The feature has been currently disabled and will be available in future builds.

What’s Fixed:

• Microsoft fixed an issue resulting in App History being blank in Task Manager in the last flight.
• An issue resulting in Task Manager’s icon in the notification area of the taskbar not staying visible while Task Manager was open has now been fixed.
• In previous flights, Settings would crash if in Ease of Access users clicked “Apply” on Make Text Bigger. This issue has now been fixed in the latest flight.
• Microsoft fixed an issue where Settings would crash in previous flights when clicking Check for updates or applying an updated Active Hours range.
• Users reported that Notepad wasn’t listed on the Set Defaults by App page in Settings in previous flights. This issue has now been fixed in the latest flight.
• The Printers & Scanners page in Settings now includes a link straight to the troubleshooter.
• An issue resulting in File Explorer not launching if invoked from a pinned Start tile when in Tablet Mode has now been fixed.

As is expected in the preview build, Microsoft has also detailed out the Known issues:

What’s Broken:

• An issue resulting in Settings crashing when invoking actions on certain pages. This is expected to be fixed in upcoming flights.
• Users may face issues launching Inbox apps after upgrading to this build.
• Switching audio endpoints from the volume flyout in the taskbar doesn’t work.
• Task View fails to show the + button under New Desktop after creating 2 Virtual Desktops.

The latest build is currently live for Fast and Skip Ahead Ring Insiders and you can get it by going to Settings>Update & Security>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
