14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has released a new preview build of Windows 10 20H1 for users enrolled in the Fast ring of the Windows Insider program.
Windows 10 build 19002 isn’t necessarily a significant release, as it includes no major change, and is mostly focused on refining the performance of the operating system and squashing a series of bugs.
The only mention in the “what’s new” section this time concerns the streamlined Bluetooth experience that Microsoft introduced in Windows 10 build 18985 and which now becomes available for everyone.
Thanks to this new Bluetooth feature, the whole pairing process takes place seamlessly and with almost zero input, as users are only notified with a toast notification that the pairing task is in progress. With today’s release, Microsoft is also announcing two new devices that are supported by this updated Bluetooth experience, namely the Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard and Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse.
Bug causing devices to get stuck on shutdown or reboot
There are several other general improvements and known issues, and you can check them out in full in the box after the jump.
One notable bug, however, concerns a series of devices that could end up stuck during shutdown or restart. Microsoft says a fix is already in development, so it will most likely be included in a future build.
“We’re working on a fix for an issue that started with the previous flight where some devices are getting stuck during shutdown or restart and appreciate your patience. If you’re impacted by this issue, please see this forum post for workaround options,” Microsoft explains.
Windows 10 20H1 is projected to be finalized in the first months of 2020. According to Microsoft’s release calendar, this should happen in March, while the first rollout wave for production devices is expected to land in April or May.
