I’m on beta and release preview channels and got it on both via WU

OH ok so it strictly a beta thing , i won't do beta as this is my main machine and no spare one anymore. i only have a laptop now.

wow so many fixes. and added things.

Christmas in august

Hi there
Updated very quickly via WU -- not sure why it wanted 2 restarts but who cares as the update was quick enough.

Finally Ms -- languge seems for me at least to be working again properly -- not sure why this keeps working on one release and then fails with a hodgepodge mixture of Eng and Isl on the next release !!.

Installed this build on a "physical machine" -- on a spare HP laptop.

No defects to report so far from me.



Cheers

He said it was beta AND release preview, and that he got it on both. He didn't say it was strictly a beta thing.

Beta is 19042.487. Release Preview is 19041.487 but both have the same fixes as they are being serviced in parallel.

Hi there
If you've got 2 machines or want to create a VM or two - it's perfectly possible to get BOTH of these builds although what the difference really is in practice --who can tell.

Ah! Thanks for the clarification - I was a bit muddled...

I had to manual install for my release preview. windows update wasnt bringing it up.

Hi folks

One possible defect with this release --it's intermittent so hard to trap -- OUTLOOK 2019 starts but doesn't display anything - just disappears -- then when you close down the system notification that Outlook still active --shut down anyway. After reboot it's all OK again . Note this is only for OUTLOOK -- other office apps are fine.
