Despite the delicate situation in which we find ourselves in many countries, some forced into their homes due to a global threat such as COVID-19, at Microsoft they do not stop developing the versions of Windows that are coming our way, the most immediate being the one that corresponds to the 20H1 branch and that should arrive in spring.
The American company follows the line set in its release schedule, and thus they have released Build 19608, launched for those who are part of the Insider Program within the Fast Ring.A compilation that, as usual, focuses on adding improvements, fixing bugs and improving system stability.
Configuration Improvements

Improvements in the Your Phone application

It is necessary to have the latest version of the application Your phone> and the application to link on the Samsung phone, which must be the one with version 1.5. To send the files, just click on the file you want to send, one or more, and drag and drop them to the Your Phone window."
However, this function has some bugs that you should be aware of:
- Only files can be dragged and copied
- Will be coming to devices other than the S20 and Z-Flip via an upcoming share update.
- If you drag a file too fast from the phone it may give an error
- Minimizing the Your Phone application during the process interrupts the operation.
- The number of files per transfer is limited to 100.
- Only one transfer is allowed at a time.
This feature is being rolled out gradually, so it may take a few days to appear in the Your Phone app in version 1.20032. 104).
The clipboard feature is now being made compatible with Samsung Galaxy S10e / S10 / S10+, Note 10 and Galaxy Fold devices .

Known Issues
