Microsoft Issues Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18898

Microsoft today issued a new Windows 10 20H1 build to Insiders that includes a single new feature.

Beyond this, Microsoft fixed a few issues. And there continue to be a long list of remaining issues, including the problem with anti-cheat software that seems like it’s been present forever.

Basically, not much to see here.
