Windows 10 Latest Insider Build 19536 Brings Optional Updates
Dec. 29, 2019Microsoft is working to give Windows 10 users more control over the way Windows updates work. Announced with the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19536, the tech giant will now let you choose optional updates.
“When optional updates are detected, they will be listed under Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View optional updates.”,wrote Brandon LeBlanc, Senior Program Manager of Windows Insider Program in a blog post.
In case you’re wondering what optional updates are, they are mostly drivers and monthly non-security updates aimed to improve the user experience. In short, optional updates could help you troubleshoot your Windows PC better.
This way, youno longer need third-party softwareto keep track of driver updates. Also, you won’t have to go through the hassle of browsing the Device Manager to find a specific driver update. Neat addition, isn’t it?
Other changes introduced with the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19536 includes an updated Korean IME, Family group setup to let users manage the device to be used by others in the family, and updates to Your Phone app. Check out the entire changelog of the buildhere.
