Although Windows 10 “Redstone 4” δεν έχει ολοκληρωθεί ακόμη, η Microsoft already started the first tests on Windows 10 “Redstone 5”.
On February 14th, Microsoft simultaneously released two new betas builds: Redstone 4 build 17101, but also the first build of Redstone 5 (17604).
Fast Ring testers can access Redstone 4, while those in the "Skip Ahead" ring can try Redstone 5, though it's too early to notice any new features.
Microsoft officially announced a new preview program for Windows 10 applications along with the two new builds.
The new program allows Windows Insider testers to choose to preview individual applications instead of having to be part of the "Skip Ahead" ring to access the latest company app updates.
Insiders will be able to choose to have previews of Feedback Hub, Microsoft apps Photos, Microsoft Sticky Notes, Microsoft Tips, Paint 3D, Windows Alarms & Clock, Windows Calculator, Windows Camera, Windows Mixed Reality Viewer and Windows Voice Recorder.
To choose to preview an app, go to the app's "Settings" or "Information" page and click on the "Join preview" or "Leave preview" button.
Microsoft currently has a limited number of previews but will open more slots gradually. Internal collaborators already in the Skip Ahead ring do not have to choose to take these previews.
