Windows 20H1 branch continues its progression: Microsoft releases Build 18950 within the Fast Ring
Table of contents:
We release a month and simultaneously the users of the Fast Ring within the Insider Program release a new compilation. This time it's about Build 18950, which comes to help the development of branch 20H1, Microsoft's new development for Windows 10.
In this compilation we will see, along with the improvements to achieve better system performance, some striking new features that correct bugs commented by users. This is the case of the corrections for the Cropping and annotation application or the improvements added to the navigation using the keyboard.
Added improvements when using key navigation in the candidate prediction window, fixing an issue where the focus within the prediction candidate window would not move when using the down key arrow up.
- Regarding key customization, the detectability of key mapping settings has been improved. Also, and thanks to user feedback, the assigned default value of Ctrl + Space has been updated to be “None”. Ctrl + Space can still be used to enable/disable the IME by changing the value via settings. "
- Improvements for the Crop and Annotation tool>"
- In the same field and in the Zoom tool, screenshots can now be enlarged if they are too small for annotations. If you want to see the crop in the original size, just click on the Zoom button and then on “Actual size”.
- The new Zoom options are now shown in action.
- Improved the discoverability of WIN + Shift + S so that you can now use the canvas space in Snipping & Annotation to help you learn how to start a snip without opening the app First.
- These changes are currently available to a portion of the Insiders in the Fast ring, as they will assess the quality before proceeding with the implementation.
