Key notes
A day after releasingPatch Tuesdayupdates, Microsoft has shipped Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19645 to beta testers in the Fast ring.
This update brings impressive changes, including support fornested virtualizationon AMD processors. Also, it introduces a new way of delivering updates to the Linux Kernel.
The package includes a couple of bug fixes too.
Nested virtualization in Windows 10 build 19645
Windows 10 build 19645introducessupport fornested virtualizationon AMD-powered PCs.
So, if your computer uses an AMD processor, you can now use it to runHyper-Vwithin aHyper-Vvirtual machine (VM).
Generally available versions of the Windows OS supportnested virtualizationonly on Intel microchips.
The only other change build 19645 brings relates to how Microsoft delivers updates for the Linux kernel residing in WSL 2 distributions. With this version, the Windows image no longer contains the Linux kernel.
Therefore, in the future, Microsoft will be servicing the Linux kernel via Microsoft Update.
We changed the servicing model for the Linux kernel inside of Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 distributions. This build includes this change to remove the Linux kernel from the Windows image, and instead have it be serviced via Microsoft Update, the same way that 3rd party drivers (like graphics, or touchpad drivers) are installed and updated on your machine today.
Some of the fixes thisWindows 10 updatebrings are:
Plus, if you’re a fan of theYour Phone app, Microsoft has confirmed that you can now use the app to control music or audio apps running on your Androidsmartphone.
