Microsoft has released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19008 (20H1) to Insiders in the Fast ring and brings various fixes and improvements, but no new features.

With the release of Windows 10 1909 (19H2) right around the corner and all Insiders being moved to the 20H1 builds, we should not expect new features for the time being.

If you are a Windows Insider in the Fast ring, you can update to the Insider Preview Build 18999 by going into Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Update and then checking for new updates.

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

For Insiders that were experiencing their PCs getting stuck on restart and shutdown on Builds 18999-19002 : A fix for this was included with the update to Build 19002.1002, but in case you didn’t see it, including a note here too. If you didn’t install Build 19002.1002, you may need to use the workaround in order to upgrade to this build.
