Notes and messages

General

IMPORTANT Release notes are changing! To learn about the new URL, metadata updates, and more, see What’s next for Windows release notes.

IMPORTANT Starting in July 2020, we will resume non-security releases for Windows 10 and Windows Server, version 1809 and later. There is no change to the cumulative monthly security updates (also referred to as the «B» release or Update Tuesday release). For more information, see the blog post Resuming optional Windows 10 and Windows Server non-security monthly updates.

IMPORTANT Starting in July 2020, all Windows Updates will disable the RemoteFX vGPU feature because of a security vulnerability. For more information about the vulnerability, seeCVE-2020-1036 and KB4570006. After you install this update, attempts to start virtual machines (VM) that have RemoteFX vGPU enabled will fail, and messages such as the following will appear:

If you re-enable RemoteFX vGPU, a message similar to the following will appear:

“The virtual machine cannot be started because all the RemoteFX-capable GPUs are disabled in Hyper-V Manager.”

“The virtual machine cannot be started because the server has insufficient GPU resources.”

«We no longer support the RemoteFX 3D video adapter. If you are still using this adapter, you may become vulnerable to security risk. Learn more (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2131976)”

What’s new for Windows 10, version 1909 and Windows 10, version 1903 release notes

Windows 10, versions 1903 and 1909 share a common core operating system and an identical set of system files. As a result, the new features in Windows 10, version 1909 were included in the recent monthly quality update for Windows 10, version 1903 (released October 8, 2019), but are currently in a dormant state. These new features will remain dormant until they are turned on using an enablement package, which is a small, quick-to-install “master switch” that simply activates the Windows 10, version 1909 features.

To reflect this change, the release notes for Windows 10, version 1903 and Windows 10, version 1909 will share an update history page. Each release page will contain a list of addressed issues for both 1903 and 1909 versions. Note that the 1909 version will always contain the fixes for 1903; however, 1903 will not contain the fixes for 1909. This page will provide you with the build numbers for both 1909 and 1903 versions so that it will be easier for support to assist you if you encounter issues.

For more details about the enablement package and how to get the feature update, see the Windows 10, version 1909 delivery options blog.

End of servicing

IMPORTANT Windows 10, version 1903 will reach end of servicing on December 8, 2020. To continue receiving security and quality updates, Microsoft recommends that you update to the latest version of Windows 10. If you want to update to Windows 10, version 1909, you must use the Enablement Package KB4517245(EKB). Using the EKB makes updating faster and easier and requires a single restart. For more information, see Windows 10, version 1909 delivery options.

Windows 10 Build 20279 (Dev): Финальная сборка Windows 10 «Iron»

Windows 10 Insider Preview build 20279.1 – сборка, которая относится к ветви разработки FE_RELEASE, доступна участникам программы Windows Insider на Канале Dev.

Полный номер сборки: 20279.1.fe_release.201209-1322

Канал Dev предназначен для опытных, технически подкованных пользователей.

Инсайдеры на этом канале получают самые ранние сборки в цикле разработки (Active Development Branch). Данные сборки могут иметь проблемы стабильности, нарушения функциональности или требовать ручного исправления проблем.

Сборки на канале Dev не соответствуют определенной версии Windows 10. Новые функции и улучшения ОС на этом канале появятся в будущих выпусках Windows 10, когда они будут готовы.

Финальная сборка Windows 10 «Iron» (FE_RELEASE)

Начиная со сборки Windows 10 Build 20246, название ветки, на которой Microsoft выпускает инсайдерские сборки на канале обновления Dev, изменилось на FE_RELEASE – от кодового названия «Iron» (Fe).

«Iron» – это кодовое имя для Windows 10, версия 21H1, но обновление может не появиться на десктопной версии Windows 10. Это релиз в больше степени предназначен для Windows 10X и Windows Server 2021.

Поэтому сборки FE_RELEASE, по сути, не предлагают значительных изменений, потому что вся работа инженеров Microsoft, происходящая в рамках тестирования Windows 10 «Iron», выполнялась для доработки новой легковесной ОС. Microsoft завершает работу над Windows 10X (и, в конечном счете, над кодовой базой Iron) на сборке 20279. Согласно Windows Central, Microsoft продолжит выпускать обновления для исправления ошибок, но все они будут недоступны для настольных систем.

Работа над Windows 10 продолжится в рамках тестирования сборок крупного обновления Windows 10, версия 21H2, известного под кодовым названием «Cobalt» – на прошлой неделе Microsoft предоставила возможность получать сборки из ветки RS_PRERELEASE.

Новое в Windows 10 build 20279

Эта сборка в значительной степени повторяет Build 20277, но инженеры Microsoft хотели протестировать возможность быстрого выпуска новой сборки на Канале Dev, когда одновременно доступны сборки из двух веток FE_RELEASE и RS_PRERELEASE.

Инсайдерам Windows, которые обновились до Build 21277 (RS_PRERELEASE) на прошлой неделе, эта сборка не будет предложена, так как они находятся на более новой сборке. Microsoft работаем над тем, чтобы эти инсайдеры получили новый билд в ближайшее время. Ожидается, что все инсайдеры на канале обновления Dev Channel вернутся к получению сборок с RS_PRERELEASE через некоторое время после рождественских / новогодних праздников.

Известные проблемы

• Изучаются отчеты о проблеме с зависающим в течение длительного периода времени процессе обновления при попытке установить новую сборку.
• Предварительный просмотр закрепленных сайтов доступен не для всех инсайдеров и при наведении курсора на эскиз на панели задач отображается серое окно.
• Ведется работа над исправлением проблемы, когда новые функции для закрепленных сайтов на панели задач не работает для некоторых веб-сайтов. В качестве решения, вы можете открепить сайт от панели задач, удалить его со страницы edge://apps , а затем снова закрепить сайт.
• Некоторые пользователи сталкиваются с ошибкой 0x80070426 при использовании своей учетной записи Microsoft для входа в различные приложения. Если вы столкнулись с этим, выполните перезагрузку компьютера для временного решения этой проблемы.
• Исследуется проблема, из-за которой в последних сборках в разделе «Параметры» > «Система»> «Память»> «Управление дисковыми пространствами» не отображаются диски. В качестве обходного пути вы можете управлять своими дисками с помощью классического инструмента управления дисками.

Полный список улучшений, изменений и известных ошибок доступен в официальном анонсе на сайте Microsoft.

Установка через Центр обновления Windows

Перейдите в меню Параметры > Обновление и безопасность и нажмите Проверить наличие обновлений . Для завершения установки потребуется перезагрузка компьютера.
