Microsoft Releases Windows 10 20H1 Build 18917 with Windows Update Improvements

Microsoft has released a new build for Fast ring insiders as it continues the work on the April 2020 feature update for Windows 10.

Build 18917 is part of the 20H1 development branch, and it includes one important improvement for Windows Update.

Discovered in earlier builds, absolute values for bandwidth settings in Windows 10 Delivery Optimization are now official, letting users specifically configure how much bandwidth Windows Update can use.

“You can set this separately for Foreground downloads (downloads that you initiate from Windows Store for example) or background downloads. This option already exists for IT Pros who use Group Policies or MDM policies to configure Delivery Optimization. In this build, we’ve made it easier to set via the settings page,” Dona Sarkar, head of the Windows Insider program, explains.
