As Microsoft just release the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20150 on June 17th 2020, I’m also check the updates on my test laptop and starting to try it as this is a “Fast Ring” (aka weekly update channel) please do not install it on your production environment.
Let’s see what’s new in that build 20150?
First, starting with this build Microsoft releasing builds from “rs_prerelease” branch. And there are 3 major new feature comes: GPU compute / WSL install / WSL update
For the GPU compute, this feature will allow Linux binaries to leverage your GPU and make it to do more machine learning development and data science workflow directly in WSL pretty cool! And for WSL install they just added a new command called “wsl -install” just let you install WSL(Windows Subsystem for Linux) via one command. The last one also is a command which let you to update the WSL more quickly and easily.
Okay, let hit the “Check for updates” button and try it.
After 25mins it complete the downloading but I encounter a install error with the Intel display drive…
Never mind just let it retry again so it is installed successfully, so just restart it to install the build 20150.
Around 15mins on my test laptop it complete the install and configure, check the OS build version by type “winver”. Good, that’s the new build.
As I park around with both WSL -install & WSL -update command it do have some good switch then work with WSL. I’ll update with both of new command on next time, here just check with both screenshot:
But there is strange bug it happened on the Task manager, when the CPU utilization was 33% and the Speed just show “0.00GHz”?? Gee that’s weird! Hope the next release could fix it.
Other Known Issue:
- Working on a fix for an issue causing some systems to crash with a HYPERVISOR_ERROR bugcheck.
- Update process hanging for extended periods of time when attempting to install a new build.
- Notepad might fail to reopen files which were automatically saved during a PC upgrade (or restart, if enabled in Settings). Documents can be recovered from %localappdata%\Notepad.
