After promising it for a few weeks now, Microsoft today released Windows 10 Insider Preview build 19536 to the Fast ring. It's the first preview of Windows 10 vNext or the one that will come after 20H1. Presumably, this will be 20H2, unless Microsoft decides to make 20H2 a servicing update like it did with 19H2, in which case this will end up being 21H1. However, this is the first build that isn't tied to any specific release of Windows 10, meaning it's newer than 20H1 but it isn't necessarily guaranteed for 20H2, 21H1, or any release going forward.

But also, things are getting changed up a bit. Moving forward, the Fast ring is just rs_prerelease. It will simply be the active development branch. That means that the features you see might show up in the next update, or they might be in the one after that. They might ship in full builds, or in servicing.

This build actually has a bunch of new features, and you can expect the features to keep rolling in with the new way that things will be going. There probably won't be that period before a feature update where there are just fixes for a couple of months.

WHAT'S NEW IN BUILD 19536?
OPTIONAL DRIVERS
● We’re still working on making it easier for you to see all optional updates (including drivers, feature updates, and monthly non-security quality updates) in one place. When optional updates are detected, they will be listed under Settings 🡲 Update & Security 🡲 Windows Update 🡲 View optional updates.

For drivers, you no longer need to browse Device Manager for a specific device to update. Windows Update will automatically keep your drivers up to date, but if you’re having a problem, one of those optional drivers might help.

RE-RELEASING THE UPDATED KOREAN IME
● During 19H1 development, we’d started work on an updated version of the Korean IME as part of our ongoing efforts to modernize and improve your typing experience in Windows. Based on feedback, we decided not to ship this with 19H1, and instead worked on further improving the experience first. With Build 19536, we’re re-releasing the updated IME, along with some improvements that help it work better with various apps.

○ For those who’re familiar with typing in Korean when writing in Hanja, we have a new candidate selection window that uses modern controls and clearer typography.
○ The new IME version also comes with an updated algorithm used for text prediction when writing Korean using the touch keyboard. Text suggestions should now be more accurate and relevant to what you are writing.

FAMILY GROUP SETUP
● Microsoft has family features that span across multiple platforms, like Windows, Xbox, and Android. On Windows, you can set things up for your family, like screen time limits, content filters, have kids ask before they buy things, or even stay organized with a shared family calendar, OneNote, and Office 365 Home subscription. If you share a device with family, it’s easy to get their account set up in a family group to take advantage of all these features.

In this build, we want to help customers set up their device to be used by multiple people in their family. While we’re not releasing an ISO for this build, some Insiders who choose to reset their PC may see a screen during setup that asks who’ll be using the device. If they select People in my family, we’ll help them get set up in a family group once they get to their desktop, so that they’re ready to get started with all the features.

AND MUCH MORE!

KWOWN ISSUES:
● BattlEye and Microsoft have found incompatibility issues due to changes in the operating system between some Insider Preview builds and certain versions of BattlEye anti-cheat software. To safeguard Insiders who might have these versions installed on their PC, we have applied a compatibility hold on these devices from being offered affected builds of Windows Insider Preview.
● We’re looking into reports of the update process hanging for extended periods of time when attempting to install a new build.
● We’re looking into reports of certain external USB 3.0 drives not responding with Start Code 10 after they’re attached.
● The Optimize Drives Control Panel is incorrectly reporting that optimization has never run on some devices. Optimization is completing successfully, even though it is not reflected in the UI.
● The Documents section under Privacy has a broken icon (just a rectangle).

Of course, there are also a bunch of fixes, improvements, and known issues to be aware of. You can check them out in the Microsoft release notes.

As always, you can grab today's build through Windows Update. If you're not on the Fast ring yet, you can sign up through the Windows Insider Program tab.
