The road to Redstone 2 begins! Today marks the day when Microsoft launched the first Redstone 2 preview version in the form of Windows 10 build 14901.
This, as promised, and expected, is a preview of the next major update to Windows 10.
There is not much in terms of new features, except for one option, which as the company explains has got all to do with improving product education. In other words, new notifications within File Explorer that provide users with information and about things they can do.
Sadly, no tab support in File Explorer yet, but as Dona Sarkar explains:
“As part of an effort to explore new ways of educating our customers on features in Windows 10 – we are testing out new notifications within File Explorer. They’re designed to help customers by providing quick, easy information about things they can do or new features they can try to have a better experience with Windows 10. If you want to opt out of these notifications, you can do so by unchecking ‘Show sync provider notifications’ from the Options menu in the File Explorer View tab.”
And this is how things look on this front:

Give it time, give it time!
That said, this brand new build does come with a couple of minor issues. Or major ones, if you are a regular user of Adobe Acrobat Reader, which crashes upon launch. The company has also removed support for kernel debugging, but will make it available in an upcoming kit release.
So there, you go, build 14901, a fresh new version for a fresh new beginning.
