Being a Windows Insider can be very confusing these days. It used to be there was only one Windows 10 preview version to test — the next feature update of the OS — but now there are Skip Ahead flights rolling out which let users test versions of Windows 10 that won\u2019t see the light of day for another year. Crazy.<\/b>
\nBeing a Windows Insider can be very confusing these days. It used to be there was only one Windows 10 preview version to test — the next feature update of the OS — but now there are Skip Ahead flights rolling out which let users test versions of Windows 10 that won\u2019t see the light of day for another year. Crazy.
On Tuesday Microsoft released Windows 10 19H1 Build 18346 to the Fast ring, and today we get Windows 10 20H1 Build 18845 for Skip Ahead Insiders. To access this build you will need to have opted in to Skip Ahead. That branch is now closed, but it’s still possible to get access should you wish to. Follow the instructions here.
Microsoft explains that the reason it\u2019s making builds from the 20H1 branch available now is that some of the things it\u2019s working on „require a longer lead time“, which is fair enough (and ZDNet has more on that here), but I think most people who signed up to Skip Ahead were expecting to be testing builds from the 19H2 branch, and those aren\u2019t likely to be issued until after 19H1 gets released this spring. Perhaps we need a Skip Ahead branch.
Anyway, I digress. The main change in this build is the addition of keywords assigned to new Emoji 12.0 content. I know. Exciting right?
Calm down at the back there.
