Microsoft is now releasing Windows 10 build 19619 for devices enrolled in the Fast ring of the Windows Insider Program. This is the preview number 18 rolling out to testers, and it’s a small update without significant changes.

In addition, build 19619 fixes problem resulting in “stordiag.exe” crashing on launch, and more.
Outside the changes available for Windows 10, this flight now introduces an update for Windows Search, which allows you to quickly access timely and trusted information about the coronavirus pandemic from within the search bar.
For example, you can View interactive map for fast access to the Bing COVID-19 Tracker, updated daily with the latest information both locally and around the globe. Also, you can select See headlines on our COVID-19 module to launch the latest coronavirus news on MSN and explore news from across the country.
Finally, the company is also making available a new version of the Your Phone app with a new feature that allows you to control your music and audio apps. When using the new features your audio tracks will remain in sync between your phone and PC, and you can switch between multiple sources using the dropdown in the player.
