That means thatWindows 12is right around the corner, so there’s a lot to look forward to in the near future for PC aficionados.

What’s new in Windows 10 Build 19044.1862?

As we previously mentioned, Microsoft has just released a brand new build to the Release Preview Channel for Windows 10 Insiders.

KB5015878 adds improvements to Input-Output operations Per Second (IOPS) performance, better reliability in push-button reset after an OS upgrade and more.

First of all, let’s focus on the fact that the tech giant has provided the ability for users to consent to receive urgent notifications when focus assist is on.

This will make the experience much less annoying and more tailored to everyone’s needs, as we know that we all have different tastes and habits.

Furthermore, Microsoft restored functionality for Windows Autopilot deployment scenarios that are affected by the security mitigation for hardware reuse.

Thus, KB5015878 removed the one-time use restriction for self-deploying mode (SDM) and pre-provisioning (PP).

It has also re-enabled any User Principal Name (UPN) display in user-driven mode (UDM) deployments for approved manufacturers.

The rest of the release changelog is comprised of fixes and other tweaks, as we are about to share with you right now:

These are the changes that Microsoft implemented for the latest software rollout on the Release Preview Channel.

Remember that Windows 10 will reach the end of its life in 2025, just in case you are looking for a reason to switch to Windows 11.

And, speaking of end of service, Windows 8.1 will reach the end of the line in January 2023, and Microsoft has already startedsending users notifications.
