Significant changes for the FAST ring with latest Windows Insider build
With the latest Windows Insider Preview Build 19536, Microsoft announced a significant change to the FAST ring of the Insider program. FAST ring releases will no longer be tied to a particular Windows 10 release.
Microsoft says: “Internally, our engineers work in development cycles with various milestones. The active development branch (called “RS_PRERELEASE”) is where the teams check in all their latest code changes into the OS. Moving forward, the Fast ring will receive builds directly from this active development branch and new features will show up in these builds first.” More information is available at [url=https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/12/16/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-19536]Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19536[/url].
