Key notes
The most important updates for the Windows 10 operating system, all versions included, have been released via this month’sPatch Tuesdayevent.
EvenWindows 7 and Windows 8.1received important patches in September so that Microsoft can make sure that even outdated versions of the OS are still secure.
Windows 10 Insiders that are on the Release Preview Channel have received another cumulative update today, and we are going to see what it’s all about.
Windows 10 Build 19044.2075 is full of fixes
The Redmond-based tech giant has released a brand new Windows 10 build to all Insiders on the Release Preview Channel, in the form of Build 19044.2075, also known as KB5017380.
With this cumulative update, users gain the ability to view News and interests on the taskbar in any orientation.
Also, Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1 is now off by default in all apps and browsers by Microsoft, plus there is a huge number of fixes.
Furthermore, Microsoft added a functionality that lets you use Azure Active Directory (AD) authentication to sign in to Windows using Remote Desktop.
Using this, you can use Windows Hello or security devices, such as Fast Identity Online 2.0 (FIDO2) keys, for remote sign-in.
Now, as we mentioned, there is a long list of fixes that have been applied to this version of the operating system, containing various problems.
This is pretty much what is going on in terms of changes made to the Windows 10 OS for Insiders on the Release Preview Channel.
As you know, pretty soon, all of these tweaks will reach the Stable version of Windows 10 and all our worries will be gone.
