14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just released a new Windows 10 Insider Preview build to users in the Fast ring, as the Windows development team continues work on finalizing the next OS feature update.
Windows 10 build 17754 is specifically aimed at users in the Fast ring, and it comes specifically with improvements and general fixes.
Microsoft is no longer developing new features for the next update, as work is entirely supposed to help refine the performance ahead of the public launch.
The upcoming feature update, codenamed Redstone 5, will be finalized in September and released next month to users worldwide as Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
What’s new in this build?
While you can check out the full changelog in the box after the jump, very important to note is that build 17754 no longer comes with a watermark on the desktop.
However, as mentioned in the previous build, this doesn’t mean this is the final build, as work on Redstone 5 continues and Microsoft still has a bunch of bugs to fix.
“The build watermark at the lower right-hand corner of the desktop is no longer present in this build. This does not mean this is the final build as we are not done yet. We’re just now beginning the phase of checking in final code to prepare for the final release,” Dona Sarkar, Windows Insider chief, explains.
And speaking of known issues, there are two of them that need to be fixed. First and foremost, Microsoft explains that when making Ease of Access text bigger using the dedicated tool in this regard, text clipping issues may be experienced.
And then, Narrator sometimes fails to read in the Settings app when navigating using tab and arrow keys.
Users can download the new build right now from Windows Update, and if everything goes smoothly, the same build could be published to the Slow ring too.
