Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18362.10000 (19H2)

Today, as part of our commitment to transparency, we are providing an overview of how we plan to further optimize the delivery of our next feature update. This optimization is specific to devices running the Windows 10 May 2019 Update. For devices running earlier versions of Windows 10, the process remains unchanged.

In April, we announced enhancements to the Windows 10 May 2019 Update experience with an increased focus on user control, quality and transparency. These were a collection of improvements based on requests from customers like you to make the Windows update experience better with less disruption. With the next Windows 10 feature update, we’re taking this further.

Next feature release of Windows 10

The next feature update for Windows 10 (known in the Windows Insider Program as 19H2) will be a scoped set of features for select performance improvements, enterprise features and quality enhancements. To deliver these updates in a less disruptive fashion, we will deliver this feature update in a new way, using servicing technology (like the monthly update process) for customers running the May 2019 Update who choose to update to the new release. In other words, anyone running the May 2019 Update and updating to the new release will have a far faster update experience because the update will install like a monthly update.

For consumer or commercial users coming from versions of Windows 10 earlier than the May 2019 Update (version 1903), the process of updating to the new release will be the same as it has been and work in a similar manner to previous Windows 10 feature updates, using the same tools and processes.

As this release is a September-targeted release of Windows, commercial customers using Windows 10 Enterprise and Education editions of version 19H2 will continue to enjoy 30 months of servicing; for more specific information see this blog post.

Yesterday after the latest Windows Update (WU) Cumulative update (on the test rig) WU showed a message that version 1909 was available to download & install (DL&I) & to just click the DL&I button to start the installation.

I am going to hold off installing this new version on the Main Rig & Laptops until I am satisfied all/most of the bugs are gone.

*Edit: Friday 7/10/2020 the Main Rig, main Win10 (x86) OS decided to install this one, probably because I only set the delay feature updates for 180 days.
It runs very good & I haven't had any glitches, even my 16-bit app runs fine.
So after that I let the 2 - other x64 Win10 OSs update too on that PC.
