UPDATE YOUR WINDOWS 10 NOW
What's the difference between feature updates and cumulative updates?
The 19H2 release won't have as many new features or changes as normal Windows 10 feature updates do, but that's by design. Microsoft is dedicating 19H2 to fixing bugs, improving performance, and introducing minor new features for customers to take advantage of. With that in mind, there are still changes to be noted, and as with every new Windows 10 feature update, we're going to compile every change into an easy to view list so you can keep track.
OS Details
Codename: 19H2
Version: 1909
Expected Release: September 2019
19H2 changelog (so far)
As Windows 10 19H2 is still in development, this changelog is considered incomplete. We will continue to update it with every new preview build that Microsoft rolls out up until public release.
Windows Shell
You can now quickly create an event straight from the Calendar flyout on the Taskbar.
A "Manage notifications" button has been added to the top of Action Center that launches the main "Notifications & actions" Settings page.
The navigation pane on the Start menu now expands when you hover over it with your mouse to better inform where clicking goes.
Options to configure and turn off notifications from an app/website right on the notification, both as a banner and in Action Center.
File Explorer search is now powered by Windows Search and features an updated UI that brings in local and cloud-based files.
Settings
Notifications settings under Settings > System > Notifications will now default to sorting notification senders by most recently shown notification, rather than sender name.
Thumbnail previews have been added to the notification settings area to show what is meant by "banner" and "Action Center."
Miscellaneous
General battery life and power efficiency improvements for PCs with certain processors.
Windows containers require a matched host and container version. This restricts customers and limits Windows containers from supporting mixed-version container pod scenarios This update includes 5 fixes to address this and allow the host to run down-level containers on up-level for process (Argon) isolation.
A fix to allow OEMs to reduce the inking latency based on the hardware capabilities of their devices rather than being stuck with latency selected on typical hardware configuration by the OS.
Key-rolling or Key-rotation feature enables secure rolling of Recovery passwords on MDM managed AAD devices upon on-demand request from in-tune/MDM tools or upon every time recovery password is used to unlock the BitLocker protected drive. This feature will help prevent accidental recovery password disclosure as part of manual BitLocker drive unlock by users.
Third-party digital assistant support on the lockscreen is now available.
A new rotation policy is present that distributes performance more fairly among favored cores available with a CPU.
We have enabled Windows Defender Credential Guard for ARM64 devices for additional protection against credential theft for enterprises deploying ARM64 devices in their organizations.
We have enabled the ability for enterprises to supplement the Windows 10 in S Mode policy to allow traditional Win32 (desktop) apps from Microsoft Intune.
The ability for Narrator and other assistive technologies to read and learn where the FN key is located on keyboards and what state it is in (locked versus unlocked) has been added.
This changelog includes all the changes noted up to build 18362.10019.
