Final build now available for more insiders

Microsoft is expected to kick off the rollout of Windows 10 November 2019 Update, or version 1903, in the coming weeks, and the company has now made the final build available for more insiders.

The software giant recently confirmed that Windows 10 build 18363.418 is the final release that would be pushed to production devices as well, and today, it’s making it available for Release Preview ring insiders running build 18362.10024.

Previously, this build was available for insiders on 18363.xxx builds in the Release Preview ring, but users moving from Slow ring to Release Preview didn’t get it as the whole thing is an enablement package that activates the new features coming to users with the November update.

“Today, we have released 19H2 Build 18363.418 to Windows Insiders who are on Build 18362.10024 and in the Release Preview ring. If you are on Build 18362.10024 and still in the Slow ring, you will *not* receive this update,” Microsoft explains in an announcement today.

“You will need to switch to the Release Preview ring as recommended in the below blog post to pick up the final 19H2 build today. If you remain in the Slow ring, you will be updated to 20H1 very shortly. Now’s the time to double-check your Windows Insider Program settings!”

Update just around the corner

Windows 10 November 2019 Update won’t be a massive update, as the number of new features is rather small. On the other hand, this new release tests a new update system that allows feature updates to be shipped as typical cumulative updates. This means it won’t land as a full new build, making the whole update process smoother and reducing the likelihood of hitting issues.

According to recent speculation, Windows 10 version 1909 could land for production devices on November 12, the same day when the software giant releases the November Patch Tuesday updates with security fixes.
