Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18351 (19H1) to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring.

If you are looking for a complete look at what build is in which Insider ring – head on over to Flight Hub. You can also check out the rest of our documentation here including a complete list of new features and updates that have gone out as part of Insider flights for the current development cycle (which currently is 19H1).

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC


  • If you haven’t been able to get the game State of Decay for free (for a limited time), we’ve just made more slots available! Whether you’ve tried it in earlier builds or haven’t had the chance yet, these instructions have everything you need. We’ve also made fixes to improve the download and install experience thanks to your feedback, so please try again if you had problems before.
  • We fixed an issue from recent builds that could result in monitors being missing from the built-in Color Management application.
  • We fixed an issue causing Explorer.exe to crash for some Insiders when Jump list content was updated.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in some devices unexpectedly experiencing a 30 second wait before pin re-entry was available after a pin was incorrectly entered on the lock screen.
  • We fixed an issue where the time shown on the clock in Windows Sandbox might not match the clock outside of Windows Sandbox.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in Emoji 12 emoji showing up as boxes in certain XAML text fields.
  • We fixed an issue where text scaling values did not persist across upgrades for Win32 applications.
  • Due to a Narrator reading reliability issue for the β€œChange how capitalized text is read” feature, the feature has been disabled starting in build 18351.
  • We fixed an issue where the mouse pointer color might be incorrectly switched to white after signing out and signing back in.

Known issues


  • Launching games that use anti-cheat software may trigger a bugcheck (GSOD).
  • Creative X-Fi sound cards are not functioning properly. We are partnering with Creative to resolve this issue.
  • While this flight contains some night light improvements, we’re continuing to investigate reported issues in this space.
  • Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue.
  • We’re investigating reports of the Chinese version of multiple games not working.
  • We’re investigating an issue where region settings are being reset on upgrade for some Insiders.
  • We’re investigating an issue preventing VMware from being able to install or update Windows Insider Preview builds. Hyper-V is a viable alternative if available to you.

Hi Guys..failed to get this Build updated in my VM. Freezing screen upon restart.



I am at a loss now..unless I start over with a clean install of Windows..😫
That Sherry is what I have done occasionally in the past, but it is not something we should have to do.
@Ssherjj @Jasper_The_Rasper what I'm going to do is install the last build of VMware Workstation 14 Pro to see if that makes any difference as you never know? Probably tomorrow.

That sounds like a great idea Daniel. Maybe there is something to this VM that isn't letting us install these updates, especially when we are not hearing from anyone else who is having the problems that we are having. πŸ€”
Well I'm trying again but this time I have VMware Workstation 14 Pro installed so wish me luck!



Good luck Daniel.
Oh I am crossing my fingers Daniel!!!πŸ™ƒ
Pretty fast so far and look at the times.

Wow! I sure hope you found the solution for this update turmoil!πŸ˜†
It didn't work so now I'm still on VM 14 Pro but reinstalling the older VMware Tools within the VM to see if that will help? I guess this is the last thing I can try so if it doesn't work I will contact VMware support.
Thank you for trying Daniel!
We are not the only ones having issues with Vmware and Insider Builds from here down: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/windows-10-announced-released-29-jul-2015.368734/page-183#post-2811466
I did not think it could be only us.
This time I can restart and now with error code???? https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/help/935677/fix-error-code-0x800706ba-may-be-generated-when-a-client-computer-make



That Microsoft link you posted with that Windows Updated error is for XP? Huh?

Hyper-V but not for me at this time as I'm not in the mood: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v



Check Requirements


  • Windows 10 Enterprise, Pro, or Education
  • 64-bit Processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).
  • CPU support for VM Monitor Mode Extension (VT-c on Intel CPUs).
  • Minimum of 4 GB memory.
I am glad to see they are investigating it. I posted 3 messages in the feedback hub, 3 on the Insiders Twitter account plus a message to Dona plus we posted in Yammer and that is on top of other messages they had received from others.

I have seen Hyper-V In settings before but didn't understand what it was. Thank you for the MS link! @TripleHelix I am definitely not in the mood! πŸ˜‚
I had not noticed the Hyper-V settings before but I had quickly looked through that Blog but somehow never noticed that part about VM Ware

I didn't need to use Hyper-V and I knew about it but I always had VMware WorkStation Pro and it's always been easy until the last couple of Insider previews....
Now are you going to go back to your newer VM? Now that you know what some of the issues are...@TripleHelix
