Microsoft announced a newWindows 10Insider build is now rolling out for Fast ring Insiders. This release ticks the build number up to 19577, bringing a new Windows Security icon, a ton of fixes and improvements, and more. Assistant conversations are also now enabled for Cortana, and there are also some improvements to Ease of Access features.
Here’s a look at what’s new and improved in Windows 10 build 19577.
What’s new in build 19577
Diagnostic data changes in Settings: As part of the Microsoft initiative to increase transparency and control over data, we’re making some changes to the Settings app and Group Policy settings that will start showing up in Windows Insider builds this month. Basic diagnostic data is now known as Required diagnostic data and Full diagnostic data is now Optional diagnostic data. If you’re a commercial customer and choose to send Optional diagnostic data, we will also be providing more granular Group Policy settings to configure the data that’s collected within your organization. We’ll publish more specifics around the new policies when we get closer to the retail release, and in the meantime, check out the Microsoft Privacy Report for more information around our data collection practices.More new icons: Windows Security: We’re continuing to roll out updated icons to many of the built-in apps in Windows 10. In today’s build, we’ve updated the Windows Security icon to match the new design principles outlined here from the Microsoft Design Team. Unlike many of the built-in apps in Windows 10, which can be updated through the Store, the new Windows Security icon is updated through the OS and will rollout in a future Windows 10 feature update.
