How to Download and Install Windows 10 Build 18890 (April 2020 Update)
Windows 10 Build 18890 is the latest preview version of the upcoming Windows 10 2022 Update, also known as version 22H2. This update brings some improvements and fixes to the Windows 10 operating system, such as:
- Improved Narrator reliability.
- Fixed an issue that could cause a bug check when using East Asian IMEs.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent some apps from launching or updating from the Microsoft Store.
- Fixed an issue that could cause some devices to lose audio after installing updates.
If you are a Windows Insider in the Fast ring, you can download and install Windows 10 Build 18890 by following these steps:
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select Check for updates.
- If you see Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18890 available, select Download and install now.
- After the download is complete, your PC will restart automatically to finish the installation.
- Once the installation is done, you can check your Windows version by going to Settings > System > About and looking for the OS build number.
If you are not a Windows Insider yet, you can join the program by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program and following the instructions. You will need a Microsoft account and a PC running a licensed version of Windows 10. You can choose to join the Fast ring, which gives you access to the latest preview builds, or the Slow ring, which gives you more stable builds with fewer bugs.
Please note that preview builds are not final versions of Windows 10 and may contain bugs or issues that could affect your PC's performance or data. Before installing any preview build, make sure you back up your important files and data. You can also use the Recovery options in Settings to go back to a previous version of Windows 10 if you encounter any problems with the preview build.
For more information about Windows 10 Build 18890 and other preview builds, you can visit the Windows Insider Blog or the Windows Insider Forum. You can also provide feedback and report any issues you find through the Feedback Hub app on your PC.
Windows 10 Build 18890 also introduces some changes to the Wi-Fi list in the network flyout. The new design no longer shows a warning for open networks, but instead uses an icon to emphasize the protection you get from using secured Wi-Fi networks. The per-network "open" or "secure" text is now moved to the details shown when you interact with a Wi-Fi network. This allows more networks to be shown in the list without scrolling.
Another change in this build is that Friendly Dates in File Explorer are no longer available. This feature was introduced in previous builds to show dates in a more natural and readable way, such as "Yesterday" or "Last week". However, based on user feedback, Microsoft has decided not to roll out Friendly Dates to users as part of the 19H1 release. Insiders will see this option go away starting from this build.
As usual, Windows 10 Build 18890 also comes with some known issues that you should be aware of before installing it. For example, there is an issue with older versions of anti-cheat software used with games that could cause PCs to crash. There is also an issue with some Realtek SD card readers that are not functioning properly. You can check the full list of known issues on the Windows Insider Blog or the Windows Insider Forum.
