New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast+Skip Build 18917 (20H1) - June 12 Insider

This time made the upgrade with no Internet. Usually 60% to 80% takes long, but not the case for this build. An acceptable total of 38 minutes. Was on 18362.175 and dual boot with Tumbleweed KDE. The process boots 3 times in Grub.

Defender's all green, Cortana, Start Menu, event viewer, settings and setup are intact. 8 new MS cookies + 27 dead keys in Ccleaner. AMD virtualization is always OFF in the BIOS, re-enabling it was Ok. Sandbox works with no error. As usual and not a bug or a candy bug, the Radeon app was reset 19.5.2.

mokutil  --sb-state
SecureBoot enabled

We are not using MoKManager anymore to keep secure boot enabled. The OpenSUSE Kernel team made it simple. It is now an automated enrollment process, the machine boots in the MoK menu for about 10 seconds. Nothing to do and it is not systematic for a new Kernel. A Grub update is the only exception.

Let's play!

A ok...I'm scared to update because last build I had no search bar and had to go back to a previous build.

You could create a system image before updating to be extra safe if you're not able to roll back to the previous version if needed.
