New Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 18247 (19H1) Sept. 26 Insider - Windows 10 ForumsUPDATE 9/26:
Hello Windows Insiders!
Today, we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18242 (19H1) to Windows Insiders who have opted in to Skip Ahead.
General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC
- We fixed an issue resulting in the background of notifications and the Action Center losing color and becoming transparent in the last two flights.
- We fixed an issue where thumbnails and icons might not be rendered if there were any video files saved to the desktop.
- We fixed an issue resulting in the back button in Settings and other apps becoming white text on a white background if you hovered over it.
- We fixed an issue resulting in certain apps crashing when you tried to save a file from the app.
- We fixed an issue resulting in nearby sharing not working for local accounts where the account name contained certain Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters.
- We fixed an issue resulting in rendering issues in certain types of PDFs in Microsoft Edge.
- The Emoji Panel is now draggable if you would like to move it to a different position.
- We fixed an issue resulting in Narrator not reading selected word choices when typing using an IME (for example, in Japanese).
- Some Insiders who have opted in to Skip Ahead may notice differences when using the Japanese IME in today’s build. We’re trying something out and will have more details about it later. If you have any feedback about your experience when using the IME, please let us know via Feedback Hub.
- We fixed an issue where certain Bluetooth audio devices wouldn’t play sound in apps that also used the microphone.
- We fixed an issue resulting in slower resume from hibernation on certain devices in the last few flights.
- We fixed an issue resulting in Windows Hello spending more time in the “Getting Ready” state in recent builds.
- We fixed an issue resulting in an unexpectedly increased use of battery recently when using certain apps like OneNote.
- We fixed an issue in PowerShell where it wasn’t displaying characters correctly in Japanese.
Known issues
- Task Manager is not reporting accurate CPU usage.
- Arrows to expand “Background processes” in Task Manager are blinking constantly and weirdly.
Known issues for Developers
- If you install any of the recent builds from the Fast ring and switch to the Slow ring – optional content such as enabling developer mode will fail. You will have to remain in the Fast ring to add/install/enable optional content. This is because optional content will only install on builds approved for specific rings.
No downtime for Hustle-As-A-Service,
Dona <3

Somebody posted that they thought there would be no further skippy builds. Downloading this now. No new features in this build - I thought that was what Skippy was about. You'd think they would at least have trotted out Sets for further testing on a Skippy build - perhaps its dead?
Wow, another build to download. Two computers are busy with this skippy build. My two fast builds installed and are resting—since I had to rest and have a little nap this afternoon.
1 VM already on Fast Build and running Disk Cleanup. One VM working on update and the ISO is moved to onedrive and will sync after upgrading. This skippy build is upgrading and its ISO has also been moved to onedrive. All these upgrades are boring which is probably exciting for MS.
This build has downloaded ever so slowly and installed very slowly. Been 1.5 hours so far and just completing install phase 1. after restart, took 7 minutes. Don't know why phase one download and install took so long.

Mine went thru like 5 phases of Getting ready>Downloading>Installing....back to Getting ready>Downloading>Installing... rinse/repeat... 5 times till I got Restart! Hour and 20 minutes. Really abnormal for this machine. After resrtart, 5 minutes to desktop. MS is playing with the setup again. Something. Very similar with the Fast ring, too.
