Microsoft announces Windows 10 19H2 Insider Preview Build

With the Windows 10 May 2019 Update still rolling out to eligible PCs, Microsoft begins discussing the beta build for the next feature update. In other words, Microsoft has just announced the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18362.10000. Windows 10’s next feature update is codenamed 19H2, and by the looks of things, it will be a relatively small update. It will be focussed on bringing improvements and mild enhancements to features brought in the Windows 10 May 2019 Update (19H1).

For those of you interested in testing the new beta build, you can sign up to become a Windows 10 Insider here, and then visit the Windows Update section in Settings to ensure you’re on the Slow ring. “19H2 will be delivered to Insiders in the Slow ring via servicing as a Cumulative Update and not full build updates,” writes Microsoft in its blog post on the matter, which clarifies that 19H2 will be less focussed on new features.

In another blog post, John Cable, Director of Program Management for Windows Servicing and Delivery talks a little more about what the next Windows 10 feature update will have. He calls 19H2 a “scoped set of features for select performance improvements, enterprise features and quality enhancements.” According to him, Microsoft will employ a new delivery fashion for this update. It will use one that is “less disruptive” and faster in terms of rollout speed.

Microsoft only recently began rolling the Windows 10 May 2019 Update out to eligible Windows 10 PCs. The much-awaited update brings with it numerous new features and improvements, including new emoji, Windows Sandbox, RAW image support, a new light theme, improved font management, refreshed Reset PC UI, and improvements to the Windows Subsystem for Linux Command Line Tool.
