14 DAY TRIAL // A few years ago, when Microsoft launched Windows 11, Windows 10 more or less became a second-class citizen in the product lineup of the tech giant.
This made perfect sense. Windows 11 was the new cool kid on the block, and with Windows 10 projected to be retired in 2025, it was pretty obvious that most resources had to be aimed at the latest operating system. As such, Windows 10 is no longer getting much love, and the builds that it receives as part of the Windows Insider program are mainly focused on fixes and improvements.
New build for Windows 10 users
This is the case with build 19045.2670, which is available right now in the Release Preview channel.
The changelog includes zero new features and is focused mostly on fixes, many of them aimed at enterprises in the first place.
For example, Microsoft says it has resolved glitches in Microsoft Edge and Appx State Repository.
“We fixed an issue that affected the Appx State Repository. When you removed a user profile, the cleanup was incomplete. Because of that, its database grew as time passes. This growth might have caused delays when users signed into multi-user environments like FSLogix. We fixed an issue that affected Microsoft Edge. The issue removed conflicting policies for Microsoft Edge. This occurred when you set the MDMWinsOverGPFlag in a Microsoft Intune tenant and Intune detected a policy conflict,” Microsoft explains.
For home users, the only notable fix is aimed at an unnamed streaming app that apparently stopped video playback after playing an advertisement. Microsoft doesn’t reveal the name of the app though.
In the meantime, Windows 10 is projected to receive most of these improvements in the stable channel sooner rather than later, especially as such fixes can also be delivered with quality updates that ship every month.
