Microsoft has dropped a new Windows 10 2020 Insider Preview Build to Fast ring Insiders. Today's Preview Build brings an improved Bluetooth pairing experience. But more importantly, it also brings back optional updates to Windows 10. These will show up in Windows Update as a new listing. Here is the complete changelog:
Improving your Bluetooth pairing experience
For Windows 10 version 1803, we announceda new streamlined experiencefor pairing supported Bluetooth devices. The idea was simple - if a supported device was nearby and in pairing mode, we’d show a notification that prompted you to go through pairing. This saved you from opening Settings yourself and finding the right place to go. Today, we’re rolling out an update with improvements we hope you’ll like.
Here’s what’s new:
Pairing is all done in notifications now. You don’t need to go to the Settings app anymore to finish pairing.For faster pairing time, we improved the UI by showing one less notification.We added a Dismiss button to the first notification to give you more control while using Swift Pair.To make the notification more helpful, now we show the device name and category when we can.
We’re excited for Insiders to try it out and share feedback. This new experience is currently rolled out to 50% of Insiders, and we’ll let you know as the rollout increases. Supported devices include:
Surface Ergonomic KeyboardSurface Precision MouseMicrosoft Modern Mobile MouseSurface Mobile MouseMicrosoft Arc MouseSurface Arc MouseSurface Headphones
Improving your optional update experience
As some Insiders have noticed, we’re working on making it easier for you to see all optional updates (including drivers, feature updates, and monthly non-security quality updates) in one place. Once optional updates are detected, they will be listed in a new page under Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View optional updates. For drivers, you no longer need to browse Device Manager for a specific device to update. Windows Update will automatically keep your drivers up-to-date, same as before, but if you’re having a problem one of those optional drivers might help.
Other updates for Windows 10 2020 Insiders
Snip & Sketch app update
After spending time in both the Fast and Slow rings, we’re now starting to roll outSnip & Sketch version 10.1907to 100% of Insiders in the Release Preview ring. We will also be rolling this update out to a small percentage of those using retail builds. As a reminder, this update includes two notable improvements based on your feedback:
Single window mode: We’ve heard that some of you prefer your previous snip to close when you click New in Snip & Sketch, so you don’t end up with a bunch of windows. Going forward, this will be the default option. If you liked having multiple windows, don’t worry! That’s still an option too if you go to Snip & Sketch settings.Zoom support: You can now zoom in on your screenshots if they’re a bit too small for you to annotate on (and yes, touch, CTRL+Plus, CTRL+Minus and Ctrl+Mouse wheel are supported!) If you prefer keeping a small Snip & Sketch window, we’ll also zoom out to ensure the whole snip fits in the Snip & Sketch window.
What snipping improvement would you like us to work on next? Let us know! Fastest way to get to the right place is to select the “…” menu in Snip & Sketch, and then choose Send Feedback.
