Microsoft today released a new Windows 10 preview with new features like Windows Sandbox, support for symbols and kaomoji, and Automatic Restart and Sign On (ARSO) for enterprises. It also includes improvements to Start, Windows Security, the Clipboard, sign-in, the Task Manager, troubleshooting, settings, and File Explorer. This build is from the 19H1 branch, which will arrive in the first half of next year.
Start fresh with a clean installation of Windows 10. Or University on your PC for information on reinstalling Office after the clean installation of Windows. If you have Office 2010 or earlier, you will need to locate your Office product key. Go to Settings > Update & security >Windows Update to download the latest device drivers. Windows 10 About settings page displaying version; Head over to the Microsoft Update Catalog website. Download the most recent Servicing Stack Update which is described as KB4090914 for version you’re running (32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)). Double-click the file to install the update.
Windows 10 is being developed as a service, meaning it receives new features on a regular basis. Microsoft has released six major updates so far: November Update, Anniversary Update, Creators Update, Fall Creators Update, April 2018 Update, and October 2018 Update.
This build simplifies the default Start layout for new devices, new user accounts, and clean installs. It features a one-column design, reduced top-level tiles, and tailored version for commercial and educational customers. If you’re upgrading to this build, you won’t see a new layout because Windows updates aren’t going to change what you see in your Start menu.
Microsoft describes Windows Sandbox as “a new lightweight desktop environment tailored for safely running applications in isolation.” It’s where you can run an executable file you’re not sure about or fire up a clean installation of Windows without setting up a virtual machine. Any software installed in Windows Sandbox stays only in the sandbox, and once it is closed all its files are deleted. The feature will ship with Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise.
Speaking of security features, Windows Security has a new Protection History experience. It still shows you detections by Windows Defender Antivirus, but it also includes results from the Windows Defender Offline scanning tool and offers more detailed information about threats and available actions. Additionally, there’s now a Tamper Protection setting that provides additional protections against changes to key security features, including limiting changes that are not made directly through the Windows Security app.
When you press WIN+(period) or WIN+(semicolon), in addition to emoji, the picker now includes symbols (punctuation, currency, geometric, math, Latin, language) and kaomoji. This experience started rolling out with build 18252 but is now available to all Windows Insiders.
The cloud-powered Clipboard (Windows key + V) has been updated to offer a more compact UI. Because 90 percent of items in the clipboard history are text, the design is now optimized for text snippets, which means you can see more entries without having to scroll.
As part of Microsoft’s quest to kill the password, the company is adding support for setting up and signing in to Windows with a phone number account. You can use an SMS code to first set up your account and then use Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint, or a PIN to sign in. Speaking of PINs, the Windows Hello PIN reset experience has been redesigned to match the look and feel of the web version.
In addition to critical troubleshooting, which happens automatically and can’t be turned off, Windows 10 will now also recommend troubleshooting for other problems. One example is offering to temporarily turn off a setting that sometimes causes an app or feature to crash. You can then turn it back on once the problem has been resolved with an update.
ARSO automatically signs a user in after an update to finish setting up, and then it locks the PC. This feature (Settings => Accounts => Sign-in options => Privacy) will be enabled on Cloud Domain Joined devices that meet certain security requirements: BitLocker is enabled and is not suspended during the upgrade, TPM 2.0, and SecureBoot.
If you have a preferred tab in Task Manager, you can now set it as the default tab (Options => Set default tab). When you launch Task Manager, it will now start right there.
The Settings home page now has a header at the top that allows you to take quick action for things like signing in and managing your Microsoft account. It also gives you an easily visible system status, such as when updates are available.
With build 18272, File Explorer got a new default date format called Friendly Dates. It’s now easier to turn off (just right-click on the date modified column and toggle).
The new Japanese IME is back, after being taken offline a few weeks ago, although it has returned via a staggered rollout. It includes enhanced key customization options and improved candidate window reliability.

- Fixed an issue from the previous flight where on some systems the High Definition Audio Controller failed to start with Code 10, resulting in no audio from the onboard speakers and microphone.
Microsoft Windows 10 Startup Programs
Today’s update bumps Windows 10 from build 18298 (made available to testers on December 10) to build 18305.
This build has 11 known issues:
- The hyperlink colors need to be refined in Dark Mode in Sticky Notes if the Insights are enabled.
- The Windows Security app may show an unknown status for the Virus & threat protection area, or not refresh properly. This may occur after upgrade, restart, or settings changes.
- The cmimanageworker.exe process may hang, causing system slowness or higher than normal CPU usage. This can be bypassed by rebooting the machine if it occurs.
- Launching games that use BattlEye anti-cheat will trigger a bug check (green screen).
- USB printers may appear twice in the Devices and Printers under Control Panel. Reinstalling the printer will resolve the issue.
- Clicking your account in Cortana Permissions isn’t bringing up the UI to sign out from Cortana (if you were already signed in) for some users in this build.
- If you’re using Hyper-V and have added an external vSwitch in addition to the default, many UWP apps won’t be able to connect to the internet. Removing the additional vSwitch will resolve this.
- The Task Scheduler UI may appear blank even though there are scheduled tasks. For now, you’ll need to use the command line if you want to see them.
- Creative X-Fi sound cards are not functioning properly.
- When attempting to update to build 18305, some S Mode devices will download and restart, but fail the update.
- 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.
As always, don’t install this on your production machine.
Summary This patch resolves crashes with geoprocessing services after installing certain Microsoft Windows updates on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. This affects key system functionality including the ability to publish new services, printing, and running geoprocessing jobs.
DescriptionEsri® announces the ArcGIS Server Geoprocessing Service Startup Patch. This patch addresses an issue where geoprocessing services crash upon startup after installing Microsoft Windows update KB4056894 or the combination of KB4056568 and KB4056897 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. Without this patch, you can't publish new services, use the print service, or run geoprocessing jobs. While the loss of functionality has only been encountered on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, Esri encourages all customers running on Windows to install this patch during regular maintenance. This patch deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.
Important Note: After the patch is installed, please check and ensure all geoprocessing services have started and are functioning appropriately. This includes custom published geoprocessing services as well as the ArcGIS Server System and Utilities geoprocessing services, particularly System/PublishingTools and Utilities/PrintingTools. If any of these services do not start correctly, do not restart ArcGIS Server; instead, stop and start each affected geoprocessing service manually from within ArcGIS Server Manager.
