14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has released a new Windows 10 preview build to users enrolled in the Fast ring of the Windows Insider program, and the changes this time aren’t necessarily impressive.
There are no new features in Windows 10 build 19008, but on the other hand, there are several other improvements under the hood, and you can find them in full in the box after the jump.
For example, one of the most notable is the fix for the shutdown and restart bug discovered in the previous builds. Microsoft has already resolved this error with build 19002.1002, and the company explains that you may have to follow this workaround to upgrade to this new build and thus fix the issue once and for all.
BattleEye compatibility issue
The known issues section, however, is the one that insiders must pay more attention to when it comes to Windows 10 build 19008. This new build comes with a compatibility bug with BattleEye software, and the software giant explains that a compatibility hold has already been put in place to prevent devices that could be affected from getting the update.
“BattlEye and Microsoft have found incompatibility issues due to changes in the operating system between some Insider Preview builds and certain versions of BattlEye anti-cheat software. To safeguard Insiders who might have these versions installed on their PC, we have applied a compatibility hold on these devices from being offered affected builds of Windows Insider Preview,” Microsoft notes.
Windows 10 20H1 is projected to be finalized in the spring of 2020, and according to Microsoft’s typical release calendar, it should go live in April or May the latest. Insiders in the Fast ring can download this new build right away, while the Slow and Release Preview rings are currently getting preview builds of Windows 10 November 2019 Update (version 1909).
