Thank you for your continued interest in Windows Admin Center! This month, Windows Insiders get early access to our 1809.5 release before it is made generally available.

Release Summary


1809.5 is a cumulative update to our 1809 GA release in September. This release includes various quality and functional improvements and bug fixes throughout the product:

General

  • Accessibility improvements
  • Notification message improvements
  • Certificate handling improvements for upgrades
  • New splash screen when loading Windows Admin Center
Hyper-V

  • Add/remove virtual disk or drive for running VMs
  • VM Connect web console now works in the Virtual Machines tool on Failover Cluster and HCI Cluster connections
  • VM state refresh time is improved on Windows Server 2019 HCI clusters
  • Azure Site Recovery protection status is shown for VMs across all cluster nodes
  • VM health alerts now show VM name instead of VM ID
Clustering

  • UI improvements for Cluster Aware Updating
Extension Manager

  • User-installed extensions are persisted across Windows Admin Center upgrades
  • Increased resiliency against extension errors
Hyper-converged infrastructure


There are several notable new features for hyper-converged infrastructure:

Multi-select bulk actions for drives, volumes, and servers


With full support for shift/ctrl + click keyboard shortcuts, confirmation dialogs, and improved notifications. For example, you can now delete multiple volumes with just one click:



Monitor storage per-server


How much storage capacity is used per server, and how much needs to repair (normal after restarting), is now visible on the Server detail. Now you can track exactly how resync is progressing without relying on Get-StorageJob!



Better network activity monitoring


The Server detail page now has separate charts for non-RDMA and RDMA networking, each showing inbound and outbound traffic separately (summed over all adapters in the server).

In addition to the new features described above, this update also brings many other minor fixes and improvements throughout HCI.
