Microsoft releases new Windows 10 preview with bugfixes

Microsoft today released a new Windows 10 preview. This brings Windows 10 to build 18358 and contains a number of bugfixes. The build fits within the 19H1 industry, and is part of the next major Windows 10 update that is reported to be available to everyone as early as next month.

The new update not only brings bug fixes, but also a new tool. Windows Insiders can use Windows Defender Application Guard extensions for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. When you open a website, the extension checks if the URL is on a list of trusted sites. If the site is not listed, you will end up in an isolated Edge session, so that you can browse a site that has not been explicitly designated as trusted by your employer.

Fixes and improvements

Build 18358 from Windows 10 contains a number of bug fixes and other improvements:

  • A problem with Game Mode that caused the quality of the recordings to deteriorate has been solved.
  • There are more free State of Decay slots. To get the latest update, launch the Store app and look for the downloads and updates menu.
  • A problem caused the thumbnails in Alt + Tabs to look strange sometimes. That’s solved now.
  • It also solved a problem where the contents of the recycle bin were sometimes saved under Windows.old.
  • For some Insiders an update stopped at 18% or 25%. This should not happen again.
  • Microsoft also solved a problem where some Insiders saw a green screen with the error message Kernel_Security_Violation.
  • Finally, an issue has been resolved where the installation of some apps using the Windows Installer failed.

The update also contains six known problems:

  • Installing updates within the Microsoft Store from version 18356 is no longer automatic. You can just download and install them manually.
  • Launching a game containing anti-cheat software can lead to an automatic bug check (GSOD).
  • Creative X-Fi sound cards don’t work well.
  • Some Realtek SD card readers are not working properly.
  • VMware cannot be installed or updated in the Windows Insider Preview builds. Hyper-V is a good alternative.
  • If you switch from the Fast-ring to the Slow-ring, some options will no longer work, including turning on the developer mode.
