Windows 10 Redstone 5 Comes to Windows Insiders in the Slow Ring

As we are nearing the public release of Windows 10 Redstone 5, Microsoft has started the release with a wider group of Windows Insiders. Last night, the firm released build 17692 of Redstone 5 to Windows Insiders in the Slow Ring, introducing a bunch of new features for those who are yet to try out Redstone 5.

While one of the biggest features of Redstone 5 was removed just recently, the release still brings a bunch of new features. This includes a dark theme for the File Explorer, a redesigned Game Bar, a redesigned Microsoft Edge, a brand new screenshotting experience, improvements to Cortana, improvements to Fluent Design, and much more.

    <p>How about they actually slow down on the development of this thing they call Windows 10? One big update a year is plenty, the fact that 1803 had so many issues that they're fixing with the normal updates is showing that they can't keep up this twice a year thing.</p><p><br></p><p>Please Microsoft, slow down. Even Google with Android and Apple with iOS and MacOS only do once a year big updates and nobody complains about updates being too slow; just please slow down.</p>

    <p>Why would I want to upgrade when I still can't print with the previous release. Apparently, I'm not the only one. This is principle stuff and the more I can't do this on my desktop the more I use my phone for other stuff. </p>
