The most recent Windows 10 preview build released by Microsoft the RP ring includes a fix for the slow file copying bug that some users have recently come across.

If you didn’t experience this problem, well, you’re lucky. If you did, you probably know precisely how awful it’s been, especially when trying to copy larger files.

Fortunately, Microsoft says in the release notes of Windows 10 build 19044.1739, currently offered to users in the Release Preview ring, that this problem has been resolved. The same fix is very likely to be included in the next cumulative update for production devices to go live on Windows 10 in June.

In addition, Microsoft says it has also addressed fixes related to OneDrive, Microsoft Office apps, and Windows systems that never shut down.

“We fixed a rare issue that prevents Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Outlook from opening. We fixed a memory leak issue that affects Windows systems that are in use 24 hours each day of the week. We fixed an issue that affects the behavior and shape orientation of a mouse cursor for Microsoft Defender Application Guard (MDAG), Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Edge. This issue occurs when you turn on a virtual graphics processing unit (GPU),” the company notes.

“We fixed an issue that causes Microsoft’s deduplication driver to consume large amounts of nonpaged pool memory. As a result, this depletes all the physical memory on the machine, which causes the server to stop responding. We fixed an issue that causes file copying to be slower. We fixed an issue that might cause a system to stop responding when a user signs out if Microsoft OneDrive is in use.”

The next Patch Tuesday cycle will take place on June 14, with all Windows versions to get new updates.
