Microsoft is now giving the finishing touches to the next Windows 10 feature update, and today the company rolled out a new cumulative update for Windows insiders ahead of the big launch.

Windows 10 19H2 build 18362.10024 is available as cumulative update KB4508451 for the Slow ring, but Microsoft says that all insiders running build 18362.100xx should get the same pack of improvements regardless of the rings they are currently enrolled in.

Windows 10 19H2 Build 18362.10024 comes with a rather important changelog, as it includes the latest 19H2 features that Microsoft rolled out to insiders, as well as the most recent improvements that were included in the October 2019 cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1903.

This is update KB4517389, and it brings several important fixes that were published by Microsoft on this month’s Patch Tuesday cycle.

November 2019 Update just around the corner

Microsoft provides more details about this new cumulative update and who gets it in an update to the original November 2019 Update announcement:

“Today we have released 19H2 Build 18362.10024 to Windows Insiders in the Slow ring. This update includes all of the latest 19H2 features as well as the latest fixes included as part of KB4517389.

This update also includes a fix necessary to move Insiders in the Slow ring to the final 19H2 build as noted in the below blog post. Any Insider on Build 18362.100xx should receive this update regardless of your ring settings. If you already moved from the Slow ring to Release Preview ring as recommended below last week – you will still get this update.”

Windows 10 19H2 is officially called November 2019 Update, and Microsoft says the final build could be 18363.418, with the rollout to begin in the coming weeks. An ETA isn’t yet available, but it should take too long before the first wave of production devices gets the new feature update.
