The 20H1 development branch for Windows 10 is getting another minor update today. Windows Insiders on the Skip Ahead ring can now download the 20H1 build 18860, which brings support for the following 39 new languages in the built-in SwiftKey touch keyboard:

Afrikaans (South Africa),  Albanian (Albania),  Arabic (Saudi Arabia),  Armenian (Armenia), Azerbaijani (Azerbaijan), Basque (Spain), Bulgarian (Bulgaria), Catalan (Spain), Croatian (Croatia), Czech (Czech Republic), Danish (Denmark), Dutch (Netherlands), Estonian (Estonia), Finnish (Finland), Galician (Spain), Georgian (Georgia), Greek (Greece), Hausa (Nigeria), Hebrew (Israel), Hindi (India), Hungarian (Hungary), Indonesian (Indonesia), Kazakh (Kazakhstan), Latvian (Latvia), Lithuanian (Lithuania), Macedonian (Macedonia), Malay (Malaysia), Norwegian (Bokmal, Norway), Persian (Iran), Polish (Poland), Romanian

Microsoft’s SwiftKey keyboard uses AI to improve the accuracy of autocorrections and word predictions, and it replaced the previous touch keyboard in Windows 10 version 1809. The new supported languages is the only new features coming in this new 20H1 build, though the new bits also bring the following list of bug fixes and improvements:

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

• We fixed a Microsoft Edge crash encountered when interacting with combo boxes in PDF forms.
• We fixed an issue that could result in night light being on after an upgrade, even though all the settings showed that night light should be off.
• We fixed an issue where using the slider to adjust the night light strength could result in night light getting stuck on.
• We fixed an issue where night light was skipping the fade transition when it was turned off (manually or scheduled).
• We fixed an issue resulting in increased battery drain while the screen was on in recent builds.
• We fixed an issue resulting in the “…” menu contents being clipped for certain apps like Voice Recorder and Alarms and Clock when the app was full screen.
• We fixed an issue resulting in some Insiders experiencing bugcheck green screens citing a KERNEL_SECURITY_VIOLATION error.
• We fixed an issue preventing certain VMs from being able to install or update Windows Insider Preview builds – the VM would hang on the black screen with the Windows logo.

Known issues

• Launching games that use anti-cheat software may trigger a bugcheck (GSOD).
• When performing Reset this PC and selecting Keep my files on a device that has Reserved Storage enabled, the user will need to initiate an extra reboot to ensure Reserved Storage is working again properly.
• Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue.
• Creative X-Fi sound cards are not functioning properly. We are partnering with Creative to resolve this issue.

Known issues for Developers

• If you install any of the recent builds from the Skip Ahead and switch to either the Fast ring or the Slow ring, optional content such as enabling developer mode will fail. You will have to remain in the Fast ring to add/install/enable optional content. This is because optional content will only install on builds approved for specific rings.

Microsoft has yet to introduce a major new feature in the 20H1 development branch, and this may wait until the company is finally done with the 19H1 update. In the meantime, Skip Ahead Insiders can also enjoy cool app updates like the latest version of Sticky Notes with multi-desktop support.

Microsoft and Nintendo are becoming a bit cozier these days as they walk hand in hand advocating cross platfom gaming and are now ready to start sharing exclusive titles.

Nintendo just announced an Xbox exclusive headed to its wildly popular Switch platform. According to Xbox Wire, the details of the exchange are as such:

Growing out of these recent discussions, we are partnering with StudioMDHR to investigate bringing Xbox Live features beyond Xbox and PC to Nintendo Switch. Yes, this means that fans will now have the opportunity to experience StudioMDHR’s award-winning debut game on Nintendo Switch with Xbox Live! We’ll be working with StudioMDHR to implement Xbox Live features into Cuphead on the Nintendo Switch in the coming months. Given the early stage of our work with StudioMDHR, the Xbox Live features will appear in a post-launch update to Cuphead on Nintendo Switch. We’d like to thank Studio MDHR and Nintendo for their help in this investigation!

Seems as though Microsoft’s gambit with expanding Xbox Live beyond the Xbox console could be paying off for game developers soon. While the release date for Cuphead on the Switch is slated for April 18, 2019, Microsoft’s Xbox Live integration may be a ways off from that date and come via an additional update to the game.

Microsoft and Cuphead studio MDHR have obvious incentives to work deligently on getting the Xbox Live integration pushed out as quickly as possible as both a proof of concept but also keep players engaged with the game as the move across a growing list of potential gaming devices in the near future.

Microsoft has just announced the release of the Windows 10 SDK Preview Build 18356, which developers can now use in conjunction with Windows 10 19H1 build 18356 or higher. This new version of the SDK brings more bug fixes and API changes, and we invite you to check the full blog post for more details.

In addition to this new SDK build, Microsoft also released yesterday the build 18356.1 for Windows Server vNext. The release notes mentioned no new features, but that’s not completely surprising as this Semi-Annual Channel release of the Server OS is near.

As usual, you can download the new preview SDK from developer section of Microsoft’s Windows Insider website, and the new Windows Server build is available from this page. Stay tuned to OnMSFT as there will probably be more news coming from the Windows Insider team this week, including new Windows 10 builds and maybe the new Chromium-Edge browser.

If you are the proud owner of a Surface tablet, or any other Windows 10 tablet for that matter, the Leonardo drawing app has made its way to the Microsoft Store. It has been available for Windows 10 users via the development company’s website for some time now, but now that it’s on the Microsoft Store, it should be easier to discover for new Surface artists.

The app normally runs at $79.99, but if you decide to go ahead and get it today, you can get it for half off at $39.99. It comes with all the same features as the desktop version of the app available on its website, including the infinite canvas, the same user interface, and all the same tools and performance that other Leonardo users get.

If you’re interested in downloading the app, you can go ahead and buy it from the link below. The developers have also promised to update the app just the same as it does the third party download version of it, so there should be no risk involved in getting it from the Microsoft Store.

Subscribers of Xbox Live Gold can play Vigor for free this weekend, as the game will be available starting tomorrow (March 21^st) and ending March 24^th. The game offers “shoot ‘n’ loot” style of play, and players must survive by gathering resources and building a shelter in the post-war Norway.

The game development company, Bohemia Interactive, mentioned that the free trial weekend will give players a chance to try the recent 0.8 “Signal” beta update of the game. It adds numerous features such as new player lobby, gestures system, as well as other new content and various improvements to enhance the overall experience in the game.

The development company is also planning to release the full 1.0 version game later this year, which will use a free to play model as opposed to making players by the game. However, the developers also encourage those wishing to play the game immediately to go ahead and buy the game now, which will give them access to exclusive in-game items not available in the free version. Keep in mind though that when the game is officially released, all progress that was in the beta will be erased.

Something that also might be worth mentioning, Vigor was one of the Xbox One games that recently received keyboard and mouse support. This gives users the full advantages that keyboard and mice offer, and the Razor Turret that will be released at the end of this month could make the experience all the better.

Japanese video games company Konami is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and for the occasion several classic Konami games will be re-released on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch. The first game in the Konami Anniversary Collection series will be the Arcade Classics collection, to be released on April 18.

This $19.99 bundle will includes 8 arcade classics from the 80s: Haunted Castle, Typhoon (A-Jax-, Nemesis (Gradius), Vulcan Venture (Gradius II), Life Force (Salamander), Thunder Cross, Scramble and TwinBee.

Coming in early summer 2019 are the Castlevania Anniversary Collection and the Contra Anniversary Collection. Several Castlevania and Contra games have been previously ported on the Xbox 360, and some of them are currently available on Xbox One via backward compatibility, but it’s certainly a good to bring back these old classics to the spotlight. In case you missed it Square Enix is doing the same this year with its Final Fantasy series, with several old episodes being ported on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

The Konami Anniversary Collection series will only be available digitally, and Konami will also offer in-game bonus books showing concept sketches from the development of these games.

The next major update of the Minecraft Village and Pillage series of upgrades is already out now for the Bedrock Edition of the game. Several note-worthy new features have been added, including Shields, which have long been in the Java edition Minecraft since version 1.9 more than 2 years ago.

The crossbow is now also fully available in the game. Previously, it was an experimental feature that had to be manually turned on in the game settings. Now, it appears that the weapon’s development is finally complete, as anyone can enjoy the feature without having to turn it on.

Additionally, for all those Xbox One users out there, a new achievement can be earned in the game. Titled Fruit of the Loom, a player can earn 20 Gamerscore points for creating a banner using at the Enchanted Apple Stencil.

There are also many other new features in the update, such as the new cat skin which has been named Jellie by the developers. The new skin was part of a contest in which players voted before the best one, and Jellie proved to be the winner in the end.

Other noteworthy new features include Lanterns (which have also been removed from the Experimental Gameplay settings), Looms for additional banner pattern creation, Lecterns for allowing multiple players to read the same books, and the new hostile mob called the Pillager (which strangely is only available in creative mode for the time being).

The update is available today and will roll out to all the operating systems that the Bedrock Edition is available on, including the Xbox One, Windows 10, Android, iOS, and the Nintendo Switch. For users on mobile devices, the devs recommend not using any HD textures right now, as there is presently a bug in the game that causes it to crash when using them.

Microsoft’s Xbox One consoles have been supporting spatial audio since 2017, with more and more games like Forza Horizon 4 or Shadow of the Tomb Raider coming with Dolby Atmos mixes providing a much more immersive experience. Unfortunately, not all consumers want or can afford an expensive home theater or sound bar, but an upcoming Xbox One update will soon make it possible to add spatial sound functionality to any TV speakers.

Microsoft revealed some details about its spatial sound for TV speakers technology at the Game Developers Conference this week. Here’s the information, via Forbes:

Apparently this process is broadly similar to the feature delivered to Windows 10 last year enabling spatial audio via built-in laptop speakers.

Microsoft can’t or won’t say at the moment which of the audio systems on the Xbox One’s common spatial audio API (Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, or DTS:X) will carry the new TV speakers utility. It has confirmed to me, though, that it has already got an implementation up and running in internal demos.

We’re looking forward to see how effective this spatial audio technology will be on basic TV speakers, though you probably shouldn’t expect any miracle. Microsoft hasn’t officially announced this new functionality yet, but it will likely ship first to select Xbox Insiders.

Anyway, it’s worth reminding that Xbox One consoles already make it possible to enjoy spatial audio using any pair of headphones. Microsoft has built its own Windows Sonic audio technology for Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs, but you can also set up Dolby Atmos for headphones after installing the Dolby Access app from the Windows Store.

The Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance has released its new Alliance Intelligent Cloud, a service that will use the cloud, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things technologies to power connected vehicles from the three automotive companies. As a result, the automotive alliance will use the Azure to power these services, which Microsoft says will allow them to capture and analyze the data in a secure manner, and use it to deliver intelligence services. Additionally, with Microsoft infrastructure, the alliance will be able to provide diagnostic services, firmware update, and infotainment services.

Microsoft says that the new Renault Clio along with the Nissan Leaf will not only be the first cars to use the Alliance Intelligent Cloud technology, but will also be the first vehicles powered by the Microsoft Connected Vehicle platform available immediately to consumers at sale. The vehicles in question will be sold in either Japan or Europe, but hopefully it won’t be long before these services reach the other 200+ markets where the vehicles are sold. Microsoft’s EVP and president of Global Sales, Jean-Philippe Courtois, stated that:

“Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi is a longstanding partner and our first strategic partner for the Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform. Today’s production release of the Alliance Intelligent Cloud enables a new generation of connected services powered by Microsoft Azure to come to market.”

In addition to this smart the benefits that we just mentioned, Microsoft says that multiple vehicles across the automotive companies in the alliance will be able to benefit from the same shared technologies. These might include monitoring, connected navigation and assistance, remote services, as well as firmware updates and other services.

While the partnership is certainly interesting, it isn’t exactly new for the automotive companies. A couple years back, Renault and Nissan signed a global multiyear contract to use Azure services to power it’s connected vehicles.

The first season event for the hit Apex Legends video game, Wild Frontier, is now live on Microsoft’s family of Xbox One consoles.

Apex Legends is a free-to-play video game which means that some of this Season 1 content is available to free players while other content needs to be unlocked through gameplay after purchasing the Season 1 Battle Pass. It’s similar to how Fortnite’s events work.

Free players will be able to unlock one Wild Frontier Legend skin, five Apex Packs, and 18 stat trackers during Season 1 in addition to the new Legend, Octane who launched alongside the event.

Players who buy the Battle Pass (which costs 950 Apex Coins) will continue to unlock new items each time they level up during the course of the event. Up to 100 items can be potentially unlocked including skins, banner frames, and XP boosts. A purchase of the Battle Pass will also immediately unlock 3 Wild Frontier-themed Legend skins, no gameplay required.

Apex Legends has been a massive success story. Launching with next to no pre-launch promotion, the game managed to reach 50 million players in its first month online and has also been well-received by gamers and critics alike.

The Windows 10 video game, Disney Magic Kingdoms, received an update today that added a variety of new characters, several new attractions, and some new land for players to use for all of their unlocked content.

The main focus of this update was the addition of Dumbo, Timothy Q. Mouse, and The Ringmaster from the classic Dumbo Disney movie. These three characters will now be part of the game’s main continuing story mode which means that players can work towards unlocking them with no time restrictions. The Dumbo-related attractions and concessions such as the Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride, The Barnstormer, Western Arcade, Dumbo Hat Stand, and Peanut Concession are also permanent content additions.

Beauty and the Beast’s LeFou was added to the game with this update, however he’s a limited time character that can only be unlocked in the new Tower Challenge event which begins tomorrow.

HP has announced their new Reverb Virtual Reality Headset as part of their their Reinvent event, which will support Windows Mixed Reality, as well as Steam VR for gaming, both right out of the box. The new devices includes upgraded specs, including the much larger 2160 x 2160 per eye screen resolution and an expanded 114-degree field of view.

HP is offering a Consumer Edition of the device for $599, but given the lack of games and entertainment apps for the Windows Mixed Reality platform as well as its lack of manufacturer support, the more significant device is likely the Professional version—which comes with an additional 2-foot cable and fabric mask. Microsoft has been pushing Windows Mixed Reality for businesses, which is especially clear with the announcement of the upcoming HoloLens 2 headset.

The recently announced headset isn’t the first from HP, with the first generation device having been released over a year back. However, the new device greatly increases the screen resolution and also slightly expands its field of view for a vastly improved viewing experience. It’s expected to released late next month on its website, and will include the same Bluetooth controllers as the previous generation device.

In addition to the VR headset that was revealed, HP has also announced multiple Envy branded laptops for small businesses, with 13- and 17-inch versions of the traditional laptop formfactor powered by either the 2nd generation AMD Ryzen processor or an 8th gen Intel Core i5 processor with an NVIDIA GeForce MX250 graphic card, respectively. If the 2-in-1 formfactor is more your style, the new x360 line of laptops are also available in 13- and 15-inch variants, with both powered by AMD processors, although the latter size has the option of an Intel Core processor instead.

As far as pricing and availability goes, the devices are supposed to go on sale gradually between April and June on HP’s website, with the cheapest model coming with an asking price of $699. The larger 15- and 17-inch devices mentioned are also expected to see their way to Best Buy stores beginning in May.

Microsoft is making a change to Teams users in France, as data from within the app will now be stored within the country for new account holders. The company says that the change will help regulated businesses, such as banks, schools, healthcare agencies and the government to comply with their data residency requirements.

As described in their blog post, Microsoft stores teams data, including chat logs, images, voice messages, contacts, and files in an Azure server from the user’s tenant country, with available locations being the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, India, Japan, and others. If the user resides in a country that is not yet available, Microsoft will store most of the data in one of three locations—the U.S., Europe, or the Asia-Pacific region—depending on which is closer to the datacenter.

New customers who sign up will now have the option to store their Teams data in one of two of the French Azure datacenters, either in French Central (Paris) or French South (Marseille). While the change doesn’t yet apply to new users, Microsoft says that current users will soon be able to migrate their data from the old European datacenters over to the local datacenters sometime this year.

Microsoft Teams is the latest of the Microsoft 365 apps to join the French datacenter party, as the company’s other Online services such as Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business already use them. Microsoft says it’s working on making all Office 365 files stored locally in all of the correct countries, with the United Arab Emirates and South Africa (both of which also store data in Europe) coming soon.

Microsoft Teams is celebrating its second anniversary this week, and the software giant has just announced a new milestone for the Slack competitor. There are now more than 500,000 organizations using Microsoft Teams across 181 markets (up from 200K organizations a year ago), including 91 Fortune 500 companies.

The company also said that 150 organizations using Teams have 10,000 or more active users, which shows that the app can fit the needs of both SMBs and very large organisations.

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced some important Teams updates including a customizable mobile Teams experience and a schedule management tool called Shifts. Today, the Redmond giant announced more new capabilities coming later this year, including customized backgrounds for video calls. This is an evolution of the intelligent background blur technology that debuted in Teams last year.

Microsoft Teams is also getting live captions and subtitles, a feature that recently launched in both Skype and PowerPoint. “Live captions & subtitles make your Teams meetings more inclusive for attendees who are deaf or hard of hearing, have different levels of language proficiency, or are connecting from a loud location,” the company explained.

Microsoft Teams is already a solid option for conference calls, but Microsoft announced today that the Live events feature that supports up to 10,000 attendees is now generally available. This feature also integrates with other Microsoft 365 tools like Stream or Yammer, and it also uses AI to provide automatic transcriptions.

Microsoft Teams Rooms, the company’s complete meetings and calling solution previously known as Skype Room Systems is also getting a new features. Today’s blog post mentioned an upcoming Microsoft Whiteboard integration, as well as support for additional cameras for capturing content. “Using any USB camera, Microsoft Teams Rooms leverages Microsoft’s new Intelligent Capture processing to capture, focus, resize, and enhance whiteboard images and text, so remote attendees can clearly see whiteboard brainstorming in real-time, even when someone is standing in front of the whiteboard,” the company explained. You can see how it will work in the GIF below.

Other updates coming to Microsoft Teams later this year are secure private channels, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) in chats and conversations, as well as Information barriers for preventing conflicts of interest in an organisation. Lastly, Microsoft announced this week that Microsoft Teams now provides data residency for France using to the two data centers that recently opened in the country.

Microsoft Launcher beta testers will be able to enjoy a new update today, as the team behind the app have announced the release of version 5.3 for those who sign up to try early releases. The update seems to mostly focus on aesthetic changes at first glance, with the company redesigning the time/weather widget, replacing the Segoe UI font with Android’s own Roboto font, among other unnamed UI improvements.

Of course, UI improvements aren’t the only new additions, with the new time and weather widget now supporting multiple sizes, and now allows user to place multiple widgets each with a different custom locations. Microsoft has also added support for work accounts to be used, which the company says will give those users access to their work apps. Here’s the full list of changes:

– Time/Weather widget redesign- Now you can have multiple widgets in multiple sizes in multiple styles for multiple locations! Also check out the updated and more detailed L2 page with hourly and 10 day forecast.
– UX refinements to the Home Screen, Dock and Search widget
– Tasks card now supports “My Day” and “Flagged Emails” from Microsoft To Do
– News tab now supports “Technology” as a news interest
– Font type changed from Segoe UI to Roboto
– Work profile customers can now get access to their work apps
– Beta community link in Settings changed to lead to Microsoft Tech Community

Interestingly, with the downfall of the Google+ social media service, the company has moved its official Microsoft Launcher community for the Android app over to the company’s own Tech Community. This means that those beta testing the app and wishing to provide feedback will now need to do so from there, as Google+ will be officially retired from consumers as early as next month.

The beta update will rollout to users gradually, with the launcher’s blog post saying that the update will need “a couple of hours or a day to propagate” before the update will be available for all users. Those who aren’t signed up to test the app can do so from the launcher’s Google Play beta testing page.

The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account has once again begun teasing video games that are coming to the service in the near future.

In the tweet (see below), readers are told that two new games will be coming to Xbox Game Pass this week. The title of one is teased by the inclusion of two male head emoji.

Cryptic teaser for one of the two games coming this week:

Over on Reddit, quite a few gamers are speculating that this clue could be hinting at Deus Ex Mankind Divided while others think it could be a reference to the next episode of Life is Strange 2 or A Way Out though.

Of course, the Xbox Game Pass Twitter is known for its sense of humor and this clue could just be one big troll or a hint at a title only vaguely connected to the emoji.

Pausing Windows 10 updates for up to 35 days feature may be coming to Home Edition

When Windows 10 19H1 releases, it’s looking like Microsoft will be giving Home Edition users a little more flexibility over when to install updates. The company could be looking to extend the length of time that users can pause Windows 10 updates for, raising the limit to 35 days. The current limit is 7 days.
