New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast+Skip Build 18898 (20H1) - May 15 Insider

I lost mine several builds ago also and it never came back. I liked it, maybe should have told them differently.

I've just had an Action Centre notification that Tamper Protection was turned off. Tbh I've never looked at this setting before although I had noticed yesterday that the Defender icon in the tray had a yellow exclamation mark. No idea on that really.

Hi folks
About time for a new 20H1 build

Surely this time they will add WSL2 (I think that's been promised for some time now even for 1903 - 19H1 builds), Sandbox improvements - also with better persistency and connectivity and please fix the stupid language issues - working brilliantly in 19H1 but still broken in 20H1.

The Sandbox persistence and connectivity issue is a tricky one since the main point of a sandbox is presumabaly to be an isolated test bed machine -- not to operate as a "pseudo Virtual Machine" - although that is really what it basically is but using real hardware.

The more connectivity and persistence you allow the Sandbox to have to outside its immediate area the more security issues you can encounter. Sandbox testing usually allows people to operate in a privileged environment rather more than as bog standard users - especially since you might want to do quite exhaustive and often unconventional testing.

One use I have for a Sandbox is to test a quite large SQL database system (obviously a modelled one in a sandbox) and want to submit queries to it etc from the Internet and return the responses or make the required updates. It's often tricky if not impossible running 2 versions of a large SQL DB on the same machine !!! and you probably wouldn't want to either. Having it on a Sandbox you can comapre results with the standard version rather than having to compare across different machines which might not be identical in hardware / software. Using a VM for this type of testing also has problems as to performance on specific hardware - especially with long sequential queries on a relational DB !!!!

I personally like the idea of a decent sandbox and really hope Ms will continue to develop this into a useful tool rather than leave it as a nice "Play Toy" for geeks. !!

Cheers

Interesting...


I remember that a while ago (due to a bug) in the Photos app appeared a panel to enable a lot of new hidden functions, this could be similar to that.
