Microsoft a publié une nouvelle version de prévisualisation de Windows 10 20H1. Cette build 18945 est disponible pour les utilisateurs dans l’anneau rapide du programme Windows Insider. Elle apporte une série d’améliorations intéressantes.
Microsoft propose au travers de Windows 10 build 18945 un nouvel aperçue de la première mise à niveau 2020 de Windows 10. Du coté des nouveautés nous avons un nouveau Cortana avec une interface basée sur le chat afin d’avoir des interactions plus naturelle.
Ce changement est pour le moment disponible que pour les utilisateurs aux États-Unis. L’assistant prend en charge la plupart des fonctionnalités de Cortana mais certaines fonctionnalités sont encore en cours de développement. Il est toutefois annoncé la prise en charge des thèmes clair et sombre.
Le système d’exploitation propose des améliorations pour WLS (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Elles apportent la connexion à des applications WSL 2 Linux via Localhost et des options de configuration globales.
A ce sujet Dona Sarkar, responsable du programme Windows Insider, précise
“Ce sont des options qui s’appliqueront à chacune de vos distributions WSL. Cela vous permet de spécifier des options relatives à la machine virtuelle WSL 2, car toutes vos distributions WSL 2 s’exécutent à l’intérieur de la même machine virtuelle. L’option la plus intéressante est de pouvoir spécifier un noyau Linux personnalisé. “
Windows 10 build 18945 et l’explorateur de fichiers
L’explorateur de fichiers profite d’amélioration autour de sa fonction Recherche. Elles ont été annoncées la première fois en mai dernier. Redmond explique
“Ces résultats améliorés peuvent être lancés directement en cliquant sur l’entrée dans la zone des suggestions. Vous souhaitez aussi ouvrir l’emplacement du fichier avec un simple clic droit de la souris. Une option vous le permet.”
Etant dans le cadre du programme Windows Insider, cette build 18945 n’est pas parfaite. Elle s’accompagne de problèmes connus et non corrigés.
General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC
- We have fixed the issue causing some Insiders to experience install failures with error code c1900101 due to a compatibility bug with a storage driver on their device.
- We’ve made a few fixes to improve reliability when installing a Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 distro.
- We are extending Windows Defender ATP capabilities beyond the Windows OS and as a result are renaming to Microsoft Defender to reflect our cross-platform approach to endpoint security.
- We fixed an issue where Settings might crash if you selected Activation under Updates & Security.
- If your network connection is unexpectedly disconnected, the Miracast banner will now have a close button for you to use if needed.
- We fixed an issue where the Performance tab of Task Manager wouldn’t expand from a collapsed state if you double clicked on the text.
- We’ve updated the Details tab of Task Manager so if you right-click a process, Provide Feedback will now be listed after End Task and End Process Tree (rather than between).
- We fixed an issue where the network icon in the taskbar might show that there was no internet, even though there actually was connection.
- We fixed an issue impacting Windows Hello reliability in recent flights.
- We fixed an issue where if you manually updated the DNS server settings in Settings, it wouldn’t apply.
- We fixed an issue from the previous two flights resulting in mobile hotspot unexpectedly turning off if enabled.
- We fixed an issue that could result in the system hanging after resume from hibernation.
- We fixed an issue potentially resulting in the error, “MMC has detected an error in a snap-in and will unload it.” when you try to expand, view, or create Custom Views in Event Viewer.
Known Issues
- There has been an issue with older versions of anti-cheat software used with games where after updating to the latest 19H1 Insider Preview builds may cause PCs to experience crashes. We are working with partners on getting their software updated with a fix, and most games have released patches to prevent PCs from experiencing this issue. To minimize the chance of running into this issue, please make sure you are running the latest version of your games before attempting to update the operating system. We are also working with anti-cheat and game developers to resolve similar issues that may arise with the 20H1 Insider Preview builds and will work to minimize the likelihood of these issues in the future.
- Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue.
- Tamper Protection may be turned off in Windows Security after updating to this build. You can turn it back on. In August, Tamper Protection will return to being on by default for all Insiders.
- Occasionally, the candidate selection in prediction candidate window for the Japanese IME doesn’t match with the composition string. We are investigating the issue.
- Insiders may notice some changes in Magnifier with today’s build. These aren’t quite ready yet for you to try, but we’ll let you know once they are in an upcoming flight.
