Windows 10 19H1 Insider Preview Build 18247 Releases

Microsoft this morning pushed the latest preview version of Windows 10 19H1, Build 18247, to members of Skip Ahead. 19H1 is Microsoft’s next function update code, v1903, is expected to end the preview next spring and turn to the official version to release upgrades to stable users.

KB4346783

Unfortunately, there are no new features on the Build 18247, but the same as last time, focusing on bug fixes and stability improvements. This unusual move may not be lazy to the engineers of the Insider team. Perhaps a reasonable explanation is that some development plans have to be shelved or temporarily waiting for Microsoft to reorganize the Windows 10 team after the October update.

There are five main bugs fixed, including some icons are not visible in the taskbar, the input method cannot be called after the Edge is first started, the keyboard is not responded under the Web view, and more…
