Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19042.450 (20H2)

Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing 20H2 Build 19042.450 (KB4566782) to Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel. We have fixed an issue in Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps that allows single sign-on authentication when an app does not have the Enterprise Authentication capability...

MS has released August updated 2004 MVS ISO (19041.450). It is probably another step for the upcoming 20H2, since it is supposed to be just a service pack and the last one actually. Beginning the next year, MS will release only one major version per year.

EDIT: Microsoft refreshes Windows 10 Media Creation Tool with Build 19041.450

20H2 ESD's available, so RTM is probably behind the door. I just wanted to reinstall, but I will use 20H2, it has Edge integrated among other things.

20H2 is running great, but I really miss the old System Info with a custom picture, hopefully MS will re-add it back again.

20H2 is running great,

Sorry if you already answered this somewhere else, but is the disk optimizer "never run" issue present in 20H2? Am strongly considering going back to some sort of Insider build but this issue is a roadblock.

 

[TairikuOkami]

but is the disk optimizer "never run" issue present in 20H2?

I guess so. I ran Optimize and after restart (1 min later), it still says: Never Run.

 

[amirr]

So the disk optimizer bug is still present in 20H2?

So the disk optimizer bug is still present in 20H2?

Yep and hopefully fixed with the optional updates coming out next week...

Microsoft announced this week that it enabled TLS 1.3, the latest version of the security protocol, in the latest Windows 10 builds starting with build 20170. The company notes that TLS 1.3 is enabled by default in IIS/HTTP.SYS, and that Microsoft Edge Legacy and Internet Explorer administrators may enable it in the Internet Options under Advanced.

The new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser supports TLS 1.3 out of the box according to Microsoft. It does not use the Windows TLS stack
Support for TLS 1.3 will also be added to .NET versions 5.0 and newer.

The enabling of TLS 1.3 in recent Windows 10 builds is the first step in the wider adoption of the security protocol on Windows 10. The company has not revealed when it plans to enable it in stable versions of Windows 10. It seems unlikely that TLS 1.3 will be enabled in the next feature update for Windows 10, Windows 10 version 20H2. A more likely candidate is Windows 10 version 21H1, the first feature update of the coming year; this would also coincide with the disabling of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 which Microsoft announced won't happen before Spring 2021.

I see that Windows to Go is gone w/2004. Anyone miss this?

 

[codswollip]

Just took the 2004 update on a Dell Desktop... What was immediately observable is that my network adaptor says "no internet" although I can surf the web. I suppose this is another buggy thing I'll have to track down.

@Telos you are right. Per documents from Microsoft: Windows To Go feature overview (Windows 10) - Windows Deployment

Interesting..!

That would be great
Hope to see this bug finally being fixed this week.
With a little help of our friends at Wilders my memory integrity issue was fixed:

Then I have no more remaining bugs in 2004 and can safely begin to upgrade the systems of my family members.

Don't you have event 642?

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Don't you have event 642?

Yes, unfortunately that one is still there, but I don't know if it causes any problems:

Maybe this helps?

To fix Event ID 642 ESENT error you may encounter after you upgrade Windows 11/10, you may have to restore Windows Update Datastore. Here's how!

Yes, I still have ESENT id 642 warnings: went from literally dozens per day when I first installed 2004 to two of them at every machine start/restart. They seem to do no harm and if start-up time is impacted in any way, it's not noticeable really.

Speaking for myself, adios 2004. When's 2009 coming down the track, October maybe? Or is it 20H2 now?

Adios to both. When is 2104 coming?

"2004" is the last "year-month" (long: 2020/04) named one. Finally.
