Yesterday, the company rolled out Insider Preview 18262. Now that the October 2018 Update is out of the way, Microsoft is full steam ahead with the next full Windows 10 release. In this installment of the 19H1 branch, the company has made several changes. Perhaps the most notable is the ability to uninstall more preinstalled Microsoft applications. Previously, users could delete Solitaire Collection, My Office, OneNote, Print 3D, Skype, Tips, and Weather from the platform. The new build allows users to also delete 3D Viewer, Calculator, Calendar, Groove Music, Mail, Movies & TV, Paint 3D, Snip & Sketch, Sticky Notes, and Voice Recorder. Basically, we are close to being able to remove all Microsoft apps from Windows 10. Earlier this month, Microsoft confirmed a Task Manager flaw causing problems in the October 2018 Update. The company has now fixed that issue and Windows 10 is getting a new Task Manager tab. Insiders can now test DPI Awareness for the Task Manager. This tab shows application running DPI aware.
