14 DAY TRIAL // A new Windows 10 build is now available for users enrolled in the Fast ring of the Windows Insider program as the software giant keeps polishing the next feature update for the OS.
Windows 10 build 19569 doesn’t bring any new features, but only bug fixes and further improvements ahead of the RTM expected sometime next month.
This new build is a preview of the 20H1 update, or version 2004, which according to Microsoft’s typical release calendar, should reach RTM in March and then be pushed to production devices in April or May. People familiar with the matter said the work on this update was finalized in December, and Microsoft is now only trying to further polish it before the official launch.
No new features, obviously
Today’s build introduces a series of fixes (all of which are embedded in the changelog below), including for errors experienced with virtual machines. Microsoft explains:
“We resolved an issue where SCSI drivers weren’t being recognized with certain third-party virtual machines, which was causing c1900191 errors on these devices. We’re continuing to investigate additional c1900191 errors on other devices.”
This build also corrects some Start menu reliability issues, as well as OneDrive glitches that caused high CPU usage on some devices.
As far as the known issues are concerned, one of them affects the new Microsoft Edge browser and accessibility.
“We are aware Narrator and NVDA users that seek the latest release of Microsoft Edge based on Chromium may experience some difficulty when navigating and reading certain web content. Narrator, NVDA and the Edge teams are aware of these issues. Users of legacy Microsoft Edge will not be affected. NVAccess has released a NVDA 2019.3 that resolves the known issue with Edge,” Microsoft says.
The new build can be downloaded right now by users in the Fast ring from Windows Update.
