Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18252 Hello Windows Insiders! Today, we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18252 (19H1) to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring AND those who have opted in to Skip Ahead. Going forward, Insiders in the Fast ring and in Skip Ahead will receive the same 19H1 Insider Preview builds at the same time. As is normal with builds early in the development cycle, builds may contain bugs that might be painful for some. If this makes you uncomfortable, you may want to consider switching to the Slow ring. Slow ring builds will continue to be higher quality. If your PC automatically takes this build before you switch your rings, you can roll-back and then switch rings.

We promised to communicate more about what’s happening in the MSRC that affects our customers and research partners. We weren’t expecting to get an opportunity to demonstrate this commitment quite so soon. Back in June 2018, Microsoft updated the terms and conditions of our mitigation bypass bounty. As Joe Bialek of MSRC’s Vulnerabilities & Mitigations Team explained in a blog about the scope change, we’ve learned a lot from the great research into CFG bypasses and what we need to do to harden it, so we removed it from the [ more… ]
