Windows 10 Build 19045.5194: What’s New?
On November 14, 2024, Microsoft released Windows 10 Build 19045.5194 to both the Beta and Release Preview Channels. This update marks a significant moment for Windows Insiders.
Major Updates to Expect
This build introduces several fixes aimed at improving user experience. Notably, it addresses issues with Win32 shortcuts, cloud file management, and Windows activation after motherboard replacements.
“Insiders on Windows 10 in the Beta Channel can also move to the Release Preview Channel on their own.”
For those on the Beta Channel, a transition to the Release Preview Channel is essential. This will be the last build released for Windows 10 in the Beta Channel. Microsoft encourages users to prepare for the eventual end of support for Windows 10 by considering an upgrade to Windows 11.
Key Features and Fixes
- App List Backup: Fixed an issue where Win32 shortcuts might not back up to the cloud.
- Copy Cloud Files: Resolved a problem where dragging files from a cloud provider folder resulted in a move instead of a copy.
- Motherboard Replacement: Addressed activation issues after replacing the motherboard.
- Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA): Updated profiles for certain mobile operators.
- Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) Printer: Fixed a bug causing Windows to stop responding when using an IPP USB printer.
“We recommend customers prepare for Windows 10 end of support by moving to Windows 11 today.”
What’s Important to Know
Insiders can opt to receive the latest features earlier by enabling a toggle within Settings. This allows for gradual rollout of new features. However, keeping the toggle off means updates will be rolled out at a standard pace.
As the Beta Channel closes, users should proactively manage their settings. Transitioning to the Release Preview Channel ensures continued access to updates and features.
In summary, Windows 10 Build 19045.5194 brings essential fixes and marks a pivotal shift in Microsoft’s support strategy. Stay tuned for more updates!
