Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18346 (19H1) to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring.

If you are looking for a complete look at what build is in which Insider ring – head on over to Flight Hub. You can also check out the rest of our documentation here including a complete list of new features and updates that have gone out as part of Insider flights for the current development cycle (which currently is 19H1).

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

We fixed an issue which caused the Bluetooth Hands-Free audio driver to hang.

We fixed an issue with the new Adlam keyboard resulting in not being able to type certain common words.

We fixed an issue where, when typing Vietnamese, the touch keyboard was auto-capitalizing ever word in certain apps.

We fixed an issue where, when friendly dates were enabled in File Explorer, in certain languages (such as Japanese and Chinese) Insiders would see the wrong day name displayed.

We fixed an issue resulting in an unexpected and non-functional Family Safety icon in the notification area of the taskbar.

Known issues

Launching games that use anti-cheat software may trigger a bugcheck (GSOD).

Creative X-Fi sound cards are not functioning properly. We are partnering with Creative to resolve this issue.

Please note that while we’ve made some improvements to night light reliability in this flight, we’re continuing to investigate reported issues in this space.

For display calibration scenarios, monitors may be missing in the built-in Color Management application. As a work around, please use the Settings app to select color profile instead, under the Display Settings page.

Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue.

In Windows Sandbox, if you try to navigate to the Narrator settings, Settings app crashes.

Mouse pointer color might be incorrectly switched to white after signing out and signing back in.

We’re investigating reports of the Chinese version of multiple games not working.

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.

REMINDER: Getting the latest Windows 10 app updates

We have locked down the inbox apps in 19H1. These simplified versions of some of the inbox apps are what will ship with 19H1 when it is released. As a result, Insiders may have noticed that some features have disappeared from these apps. This was probably most noticeable with the Photos app. Insiders can get these features back by going into the settings of an inbox app like Photos and clicking the “Join preview” button.

REMINDER: Annual Windows Insider Program Survey

If you haven’t had a chance to take our 2019 Windows Insider Annual Survey, we’d love to hear from you before it closes on February 28. It only takes 10-15 minutes to complete, but your feedback helps us shape the program for the rest of the year.
