Microsoft Releases Two Windows 10 19H2 Builds, Again

For the second time, Microsoft has released two separate Windows 10 19H2 builds to the Insider Program’s Slow ring.

“Today we are releasing 19H2 build 18362.10014 and build 18362.10015 to Windows Insiders in the Slow ring,” the Microsoft announcement notes. “We are testing the ability to ship these updates with features turned off by default so that we can then turn them on via controlled feature rollouts. This helps us gain better feedback on overall build quality. A subset of Insiders in the Slow ring will have features turned off by default, and another subset will have them turned on by default.”

Those who receive 9H2 build 18362.10012 will have new features disabled by default. Those who receive 9H2 build 18362.10013 will have new features enabled by default.
