Microsoft is now releasing Windows 10 build 20190 for PCs enrolled in the Dev Channel of the Windows Insider Program. This is the update number 32 available for testers, and it bundles some new features and improvements.
Windows 10 build 20190, according to the company, introduces a new first run experience with the Tips app to highlight the most significant changes after a major feature update installs on your device. (This feature replaces the Microsoft Edge welcome page after installing a new feature update.)
You can enable or disable this feature on Settings > System > Notifications & actions and checking the Show me the Windows welcome experience.
In addition, starting with build 20190, the “Graphics settings” page has been updated to allow you to select default high performance GPU. If you have multiple graphics cards, you can specify which of those GPUs should be the one used for high performance uses cases on Settings > System > Display > Graphics settings or Settings > Gaming > Graphics settings.
Once you configure the settings, when an app asks for a high-performance video processor, it’ll by default use the GPU you specified on the page. Also, the page has changed to allow you to pick a specific GPU on a per application basis using the new “Specific GPU” option.
Finally, this flight updates the new Japanese IME to support switching between Hiragana and Katakana by using CTRL + CAPSLOCK and ALT + CAPSLOCK (respectively), as it was supported with the previous version.
Microsoft is listing the complete set of improvements, fixes, and known issues for Windows 10 Insider Preview build 20190 at the Windows Blog.
