The first major Windows 10 update in 2019, Windows 10 May 2019 Update (codenamed 19H1, also known as Windows 10 version 1903) is impending. There are some new features and improvements to look forward to, such as the new light theme, Windows Sandbox, etc..

Different from previous years, this update comes late. Just the other day, Microsoft announced that the Windows 10 May 2019 Update would be broadly available in late May. But for the Windows Insiders in the Release Preview ring, the May 2019 Update is available now. Microsoft has released the Windows 10 May 2019 Update Build 18362.30 to the Release Preview ring for test. Therefore, if you want to install the Windows 10 May 2019 Update ahead of schedule, you need to join the Windows Insider Program.
