Microsoft releases Windows 10 20H1 Build 18922 to the Fast ring
Work is progressing well on the next big feature update of Windows 10, due out a year from now.
Some builds offer a lot of new features, others are more about fixing problems and making general improvements. Build 18922 falls into the latter category, although it does have some language settings improvements and Feedback Hub updates.

The latest build makes it easier for you to see the current state of your language settings via a new overview section, and the Feedback Hub now sets you search for feedback similar anything you were planning to log.

- Added a tip to the Bopomofo IME settings that Ctrl + Space can be used for toggling conversation mode.
- Fixed an issue where, when using the Japanese IME with Excel, if you’d turned off Japanese input-mode by clicking the input-mode indicator, the input-mode would revert back to "Hiragana" every time focus moved to another cell.
- Based on feedback, Microsoft has updated the Chinese Pinyin IME settings to now refer to Default mode, rather than Input mode.
- Fixed an issue for some of the Insiders with the updated File Explorer search experience, resulting in suggested results in the search dropdown not responding when clicked.

- There has been an issue with older versions of anti-cheat software used with games where after updating to the latest 19H1 Insider Preview builds may cause PCs to experience crashes. Microsoft is working with partners on getting their software updated with a fix, and most games have released patches to prevent PCs from experiencing this issue. To minimize the chance of running into this issue, please make sure you are running the latest version of your games before attempting to update the operating system. Microsoft is also working with anti-cheat and game developers to resolve similar issues that may arise with the 20H1 Insider Preview builds and will work to minimize the likelihood of these issues in the future.
