Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19608
Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19608 to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring.
What’s new in Build 19608
Improving your default apps experience
Over the years, we’ve made a number of improvements to Settings based on your feedback, and we’re happy to share the next one is starting to roll out. We’re adding the ability to search the lists of file types, protocols, and apps when setting a default.
Your Phone app updates
Seamlessly Drag and Drop files between your devices with the Your Phone app
Continuing our partnership with Samsung, we’re excited to bring you an early preview into the newest feature for the Your Phone app—
File drag and drop
This feature allows any Samsung smartphone that supports phone screen to wirelessly drag and drop files from their phone to their PC and vice versa without having to dig for cables. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Messages node
Compose new messages, within the Messages node, is getting a brand-new rounded user interface (UI). Check it out and let us know what you think!
UI updates
We recently introduced a number of UI changes to improve the overall look and feel of the Your Phone app.
Fixes
- We fixed an issue where Sticky Notes windows couldn’t be moved.
- We fixed an issue resulting in language packs failing to install on the previous build. Anyone impacted by this may have noticed some parts of the UI weren’t displaying in your preferred language.
- We fixed an issue resulting in Task Manager showing an incorrect icon for Microsoft Edge Canary.
- We fixed an issue resulting in the Snip & Sketch App launching in the background instead of foreground (on top of all windows) when the app was invoked via pen click.
- We fixed an issue where using the arrow keys in the taskbar volume flyout was unexpectedly backwards in Arabic, inconsistent from the direction it went in other slider controls.
- We’ve done some work to improve the performance when loading the Windows Update history page.
