Windows 10 Build 18247 Released (Skip Ahead)

Microsoft today released Windows 10 Build 18247 to Windows Insiders who have opted in to Skip Ahead. This build doesn't include new features. It comes with bug fixes only.

This build represents the branch 19H1, which hosts preview builds of Windows 10 version 1903.

Note: This build won’t be available for PCs running 64-bit Windows 10 Home and Pro editions in Czech (cs-cz).

The change log of this build comes with the following highlights.

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

• We fixed an issue resulting in Narrator text to speech not making sense when reading Narrator’s Quick Start pop up in Japanese.
• We fixed an issue resulting in app icons sometimes becoming invisible in the taskbar in recent flights.
• We fixed an issue that could result in an IME not working in Microsoft Edge the first time it was launched.
• We fixed an issue resulting in WebView controls potentially not responding to keyboard.
• Rolling out this week, along with more bug fixes, we have added a “Preview” tag to Your Phone app as we continue to finetune the based on your feedback. Keep it coming via Feedback Hub.

Known issues

• When using dark mode, File Explorer’s context menu has an unexpectedly thick white border.
• Task Manager is not reporting accurate CPU usage. This should be fixed in the next flight.
• Arrows to expand “Background processes” in Task Manager are blinking constantly and weirdly.

Known issues for Developers

• If you install any of the recent builds from the Fast ring and switch to the Slow ring – optional content such as enabling developer mode will fail. You will have to remain in the Fast ring to add/install/enable optional content. This is because optional content will only install on builds approved for specific rings.

To get this build, open the Settings app and go to Update & Recovery - Windows Update. Click on the button 'Check for updates' on the right. Your PC must be configured to receive updates from the 'Skip Ahead' stream.
