Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10525 (Newer Than Final)
Microsoft
has released a preview version of Windows 10, with the build number 10525, to
members of the Windows Insider Program. It’s the first such build to be
released for members of the Windows Insider program since Windows 10 officially
launched.
It
has been amazing to see the impact that Windows Insiders have made since we
launched the program last year. Your feedback has helped us fix bugs and make
changes which resulted in a better product because of your input. Thank you to
all of the Windows Insiders who have been with us so far. Now I’d like to talk
a bit about what is next.
With
the general availability of Windows 10, the Windows Insider Program will focus
on building and delivering Windows as a service by updating Windows 10 with new
features and functionality on an ongoing basis. As always, Windows Insiders
will be the first to see these new features and changes.
Feedback
from Windows Insiders not only helps us build Windows 10 – it also helps us
shape how we run the program. For example, Windows Insiders have asked us to
improve the flighting cadence and to keep the Windows Feedback app in the
product – which we have done. We’re also evaluating the Windows Insider rings,
and considering whether we should make changes there. Over the past few months
we’ve been looking at feedback to see what changes we want to make going
forward. We’re putting plans together now, so you won’t see any changes
immediately, but they will come over time. We’ll be doing our best to make sure
that we improve every aspect of the program, from build distribution to the
Feedback app and Insider Hub. And of course we’ll be looking to do more fun
things for Windows Insiders as well, like our Insiders to Campus event, Ninja
Cat goodies, special wallpapers and more.

What’s New in Build 10525
We
got a lot of feedback on the default color for Start, Acton Center, Taskbar,
and Title bars and that you wanted to be able to change to reflect your
preferences. This feature is now available (though still early) in build 10525
for you to try. This is off by default, but you can turn it on by toggling this
(Settings > Personalization > Colors):
In
Windows 10, we have added a new concept in the Memory Manager called a
compression store, which is an in-memory collection of compressed pages. This
means that when Memory Manager feels memory pressure, it will compress unused
pages instead of writing them to disk. This reduces the amount of memory used
per process, allowing Windows 10 to maintain more applications in physical
memory at a time. This also helps provide better responsiveness across Windows
10. The compression store lives in the System process’s working set. Since the
system process holds the store in memory, its working set grows larger exactly
when memory is being made available for other processes. This is visible in
Task Manager and the reason the System process appears to be consuming more
memory than previous releases.
Part
of the fun of being a Windows Insider is getting to tinker with prerelease
software before the rest of the world, but you should be very aware as an
Insider that prerelease software will come with bugs and things that are
incomplete. Make sure you know and accept what you’re opting in to when you
join the program, and of course make sure to back up all of your personal data
before you begin.
