14 DAY TRIAL // The most recent Windows 10 preview build for users in the Fast ring comes with a bug that automatically kicks out insiders of the testing program.
What’s important to know is that this doesn’t seem to be a widespread issue, but Dona Sarkar, the chief of the Windows Insider program, confirmed on Twitter that some users might have to opt in once again after installing Windows 10 build 18356.
“#WindowsInsiders: some of you may have had your devices opted out of receiving new builds after installing 18356. You can check via Settings > Update and Security > Windows Insider Program. If your device was opted out, you can simply opt back in to receive the next new build,” she said.
The bug didn’t occur on our systems enrolled in the Fast ring, but one user confirmed in a tweet reply that this thing did happen on their testing PC.
Hopefully, the issue won’t make it to builds released to the Skip Ahead ring, as re-enrolling in this ring is no longer possible. Microsoft only provided limited seats for Skip Ahead, and registration is now closed.
Hello, Android screen mirroring!
Windows 10 build 18356 was released earlier this week to devices in the Fast ring with a series of improvements, including the Android mirroring feature that’s now possible through the Your Phone app.
This is the first build that supports Android screen mirroring, though the feature is currently limited to Samsung Galaxy S models and the Surface Go. However, as more improvements are finalized, it should become available on more smartphones and Windows 10 devices.
Other than that, the build is all about fixing bugs and improving general performance, which is something that makes total sense given that we’re approaching the day when Microsoft should sign-off Windows 10 19H1 and ship the RTM build to insiders.
