Windows 10: Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20185.1000 (rs_prerelease) - August 5

Brink · Aug 5, 2020

Hello Windows Insiders, today weâre releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20185 to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.

Whatâs new in Build 20185

Improving DNS configuration in Settings

Weâre making a few changes to the Network section in Settings:

Making DNS settings more easily accessible: Editing your DNS server assignment is now a top-level option when you go into your networkâs properties page.

Encrypted DNS controls in the Settings app: Encrypted DNS (DNS over HTTPS, or DoH) can help increase privacy and security while browsing the web. You can now configure DoH directly in the Settings app to more easily take advantage of this feature:

For ethernet connections: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status. Click Properties, then select Edit IP assignment or Edit DNS server assignment and it will be available in the popup

For Wi-Fi connections: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi. Click the adapter properties link, then select Edit IP assignment or Edit DNS server assignment and it will be available in the popup. Currently you will not see the encryption options if you go to the individual networkâs property page

You can add any IP address listed here to unlock the DoH dropdown and choose to use encryption. Once encryption is enabled, you can confirm itâs working by looking at the applied DNS servers in the network properties and see them labeled as â(Encrypted)â servers. If you want to try a custom DoH server we donât recognize yet, you can configure an IP address to be recognized as a DoH server by using the netsh command documented here at the end of the blog post.

As always, appreciate your feedback!

New ADMX Backed Policies for MDM

Starting with Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20175, we have enabled 647 new MDM policies across 56 ADMX files to enable commercial customers to configure policies that are also supported through Group Policies. Contains ADMX based Policies such as App Compat, Event Forwarding, Servicing and Task Scheduler. These new policies can be configured using Intune custom profile. Intune UX is planned to be available later this year.

Other updates for Insiders

Introducing Your Phone Apps â access your Android phoneâs apps directly from your PC

The Your Phone app continues to evolve. We are happy to announce another exciting feature, a seamless continuation of our vision and promise to help you be more productive and keep you in your flow. Tap into the power of Your Phone app with Link to Windows integration on select Samsung devices to instantly access your phoneâs mobile apps directly from your Windows 10 PC. Thereâs no need to install, sign-in or set up your apps on your PC, saving you time and hassle. You can conveniently pin your favorite mobile apps to your Taskbar or Start menu on your PC for quick and easy access. When you launch an app, it opens in a separate window outside of the Your Phone app enabling you to multitask. So, whether you need to quickly reply to a conversation, respond to your social posts, or order food, you can do it fast using your PCâs large screen, keyboard, mouse, pen and touch screen alongside your other PC apps!

And we are not stopping here. Later in the year, Samsung Galaxy Note20 users will experience the power and convenience of running multiple apps side by side and we will continue to work with Samsung to bring this feature to additional devices. Apps will launch in separate windows enabling you to interact with multiple apps at the same time. So, whether you are working on a document, keeping up on your social media feed or simply staying connected with family and friends, everything is accessible in one place, so your flow is never broken.

Starting today, Android phones supporting Your Phone appâs Phone screen feature will be able to preview the Apps feature. See list of supported devices here. The ability to run multiple apps simultaneously is currently not available and will be introduced later this year. Give this feature a try and provide us with your valuable feedback as we continue to test, learn, and improve the overall experience. You can provide feedback within the Your Phone app under Settings -> Send Feedback.

Key Features:

See a list of your installed Android apps directly within the Your Phone app.

Add your frequently used apps to the favorites section or search among your apps for even quicker access.

Launch any mobile app directly from your PC.

Apps and your mirrored phone screen launch in a separate window on your PC.

Pin your mobile apps to Windows Task bar or Start menu.

Stay in the know by keeping an eye on the app notification badging (unread notifications) in the All apps list or your Favorites.

Apps feature requirements:

PC running Windows 10 October 2018 Update or later. However, we always recommend updating to the latest version of Windows 10, Your Phone app and Link to Windows.

Available on select Android phones running Android 9.0 or greater with the Link to Windows integration. Check out the list of supported phones here.

Phone and PC must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Known Issues/Limitations:

Some apps might block the ability to cast to other screens and you will see a black screen instead.

Some games and apps might not respond to interactions from your PC mouse or keyboard. You will need to use a touch-enabled PC to interact with them.

Audio from apps will play from your mobile device.

Ability to run multiple apps will rollout out later in the year.

Updates for developers

The Windows SDK is now flighting continuously with the Dev Channel. Whenever a new OS build is flighted to the Dev Channel, the corresponding SDK will also be flighted. You can always install the latest Insider SDK from aka.ms/InsiderSDK. SDK flights will be archived in Flight Hub along with OS flights.

Changes and Improvements

Weâre moving the 3D Viewer app into the Windows Accessories folder in the Start menu all apps list.

Fixes

We fixed an issue where sometimes the âclose all windowsâ action in the Taskbar wasnât closing all of the open tabs for pinned sites.

We fixed an issue that could result in the network icon in the Taskbar saying there was no internet although there was an active connection.

We fixed an issue where dragging and dropping an app from Startâs all apps list over to the tile grid to pin it wasnât working for certain apps.

We fixed an issue where the letter headers in the Start menuâs all apps list had unnecessary left padding when the all apps list was set to hidden.

In order to address an issue where the tiles were difficult to read against certain backgrounds when using full screen Start weâre adjusting the background to be slightly less transparent.

We fixed an issue where when using a Start menu layout applied by MDM, tile groups may disappear after a few days of uptime without rebooting.

We fixed an issue where if a notification included an inline image the app icon would be slightly out of line with it.

We fixed an issue where launching an app from its taskbar jumplist wasnât working for certain desktop bridge apps and instead would result in the app disappearing from the taskbar.

We fixed an issue resulting in excessive network traffic when using the Open File dialog to navigate to shared network folders where previous versions where enabled.

We fixed an issue that could result in a blank icon displaying instead of a plus button on the main Default Apps page in Settings after uninstalling the app set as default.

We fixed an issue where opening Storage Settings then immediately going into one of the sub-pages and then back could result in the page not loading.

We fixed an issue resulting in the new Microsoft Edge not being listed in the App History section of Task Manager.

We fixed an issue resulting in

We fixed an issue impacting touch keyboard launch reliability.

We fixed an issue where TextInputHost.exe would enter an unresponsive state, leading to clipboard history, the Emoji Panel, and dictation not appearing when pressing their corresponding keyboard shortcuts.

We fixed an issue that could result in not being able to paste the first entry in clipboard history.

We fixed an issue that could result in ARM64 devices bug checking when resuming from hibernation.

Known issues

Weâre working on a fix for an issue where some Microsoft Store games protected with Easy Anti-Cheat may fail to launch.

Weâre looking into reports of the update process hanging for extended periods of time when attempting to install a new build.

Weâre working on a fix for an issue where the min/max/close buttons are stuck in their original positions after resizing a UWP app. If you move the app window the position should update.

Weâre investigating reports that the new taskbar experience for pinned sites isnât working for some sites.

Weâre working on a fix to enable live preview for pinned site tabs.

Weâre working on enabling the new taskbar experience for existing pinned sites. In the meantime, you can unpin the site from the taskbar, remove it from the edge://apps page, and then re-pin the site.

Weâre working on a fix for an issue where pinned sites donât show all open tabs for a domain. In the meantime, you can fix this by pinning the siteâs homepage rather than a specific page (e.g. pin microsoft.com rather than microsoft.com/windows).

Weâre working on a fix for an issue where Alt + Tabbing to a browser tab sometimes moves the previously active browser tab to the front of the Alt + Tab list as well.

Opening a WSL 1 distribution can result in the error: âThe I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application requestâ. Please check out this

Mark your calendars for our next webcast!

We have announced that the new home for the Windows Insider Program webcast will be on Twitch! Join on August 18th!
