14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has released a new Windows 10 preview build to users enrolled in the Dev channel of the Windows Insider program.
Windows 10 build 20215 doesn’t come with any new features, but it includes plenty of fixes and updates for developers.
“The Windows SDK is now flighting continuously with the Dev Channel. Whenever a new OS build is flighted to the Dev Channel, the corresponding SDK will also be flighted. You can always install the latest Insider SDK from aka.ms/InsiderSDK. SDK flights will be archived in Flight Hub along with OS flights,” Microsoft explains in the release notes of this build.
As for the fixes, this build resolves the Windows Security app handing on some devices, while also including improvements for restore points.
“We fixed an issue where using a restore point that had been created prior to a Microsoft Edge update to do a system restore could result in Microsoft Edge not launching after the restore was finished,” the company explains.
Linux fixes
Today’s build also includes improvements for the Start menu, as Microsoft says that on some devices where users weren’t provided with information when an update was waiting for reboot.
Microsoft says that it’s also working on improvements for the Linux experience on Windows 10.
“We’re working on a fix for the Linux kernel not being installed when using the `wsl –install` command in the Windows Subsystem for Linux. For an immediate workaround run `wsl –update` to get the latest kernel version,” the company says.
Users who are enrolled in the Dev channel of the Windows Insider program can download the new build today from Windows Update. And of course, even though no new feature is included in this build, the number of fixes makes it a welcome build in the Insider program.
