Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing 20H1 Build 18865 to Windows Insiders who have opted into Skip Ahead. Remember – these builds are from the 20H1 development branch. Some things we are working on in 20H1 require a longer lead time.

IMPORTANT: As is normal with builds early in the development cycle, these builds may contain bugs that might be painful for some. If you take this flight, you won’t be able to switch back to the Fast or Slow rings without doing a clean-install on your PC and starting over.

If you are looking for a complete look at what build is in which Insider ring – head on over to Flight Hub. You can also check out the rest of our documentation here including a complete list of new features and updates that have gone out as part of Insider flights for the current development cycle.

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

• We fixed the issue where Narrator read “has finished loading” multiple times when loading a new page in Chrome.

• We fixed the issue where Narrator did not read aria-label information from button.
• Improved Narrator’s fallback logic for controls with no accessible name.
• Narrator will now present “invalid” or “required” properties on more controls.
• We fixed the issue where Narrator Braille showed the window title instead of the first line on the braille display when navigating to the beginning of the document with Ctrl + Home in a text editing area.
• Narrator Braille user can now reliably activate links by routing key.
• We fixed the issue where Narrator Braille did not render information on the braille display about the login pop up while creating a page in Facebook.com.
• We fixed the issue where Narrator Braille would show the accessible name in the beginning of every line in a text area.
• We fixed an issue resulting in a duplicate empty copy of certain folders being created on upgrade for some users.
• We fixed an issue where, if your computer supported Wi-Fi and you had the Performance tab set as default in Task Manager, on Task Manager launch, the Wi-Fi section in the Performance tab would appear to be selected, but the details displayed would be for the CPU section.
• We fixed an issue resulting in some Insiders experiencing unexpected BitLocker prompts to encrypt certain drives, and then subsequently failing to encrypt.

Known issues

• Launching games that use anti-cheat software may trigger a bugcheck (GSOD).
• Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue.
• Creative X-Fi sound cards are not functioning properly. Creative has released updated drivers for some affected X-Fi sound cards. Please refer to Creative’s website for details on your particular hardware and any available updates.

Known issues for Developers

• If you install any of the recent builds from the Skip Ahead and switch to either the Fast ring or the Slow ring, optional content such as enabling developer mode will fail. You will have to remain in the Fast ring to add/install/enable optional content. This is because optional content will only install on builds approved for specific rings.
