Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18894 Releases: File Explorer improvements

by ddos ·

For the Fast Ring member of the Windows Insider project, Microsoft today released the latest preview of the Windows 10 20H1 branch, Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18894. This version update does not introduce new features but brings a new search experience to the resource manager.

After installing Build 18894, the File Explorer’s search box will display content from OneDrive, and the user can directly manipulate the search results. This new search experience is provided by Windows Search, and Microsoft says that only a small percentage of users will be the first to experience it.

In addition to the improved search experience of the resource manager, Microsoft has also brought some improvements to Narrator and Windows Magnifier
