Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18351

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 “Change 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.

Known issues for Developers

• If you install any of the recent builds from the Fast ring and switch to the Slow ring, optional content such as enabling developer mode will fail. You will have to remain in the Fast ring to add/install/enable optional content. This is because optional content will only install on builds approved for specific rings.

REMINDER: Getting the latest Windows 10 app updates

We have locked down the inbox apps in 19H1. These simplified versions of some of the inbox apps are what will ship with 19H1 when it is released. As a result, Insiders may have noticed that some features have disappeared from these apps. This was probably most noticeable with the Photos app. Insiders can get these features back by going into the settings of an inbox app like Photos and clicking the “Join preview” button.
