Applies to
- Windows 10, version 1909
This article lists new and updated features and content that are of interest to IT Pros for Windows 10, version 1909, also known as the Windows 10 November 2019 Update. This update also contains all features and fixes included in previous cumulative updates to Windows 10, version 1903.
Servicing
Windows 10, version 1909 is a scoped set of features for select performance improvements, enterprise features and quality enhancements.
To deliver these updates in an optimal fashion, we are providing this feature update in a new way: using servicing technology. Users that are already running Windows 10, version 1903 (the May 2019 Update) will receive this update similar to how they receive monthly updates. If you are running version 1903, then updating to the new release will have a much faster update experience because the update will install like a monthly update.
If you are updating from an older version of Windows 10 (version 1809 or earlier), the process of updating to the current version will be the same as it has been for previous Windows 10 feature updates. For more information, see Evolving Windows 10 servicing and quality: the next steps.
Note: Devices running the Enterprise, IoT Enterprise, or Education editions of Windows 10, version 1909 receive 30 months of support. For more information about the Windows servicing lifecycle, please see the Windows lifecycle fact sheet.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)
Pre-release Windows 10 feature updates are now available to IT administrators using WSUS. Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager version 1906 or later is required. For more information, see Publishing pre-release Windows 10 feature updates to WSUS.
The Windows 10, version 1909 enablement package will be available on WSUS as KB4517245, which can be deployed on existing deployments of Windows 10, version 1903.
Windows Update for Business (WUfB)
If you are using WUfB, you will receive the Windows 10, version 1909 update in the same way that you have for prior feature updates, and as defined by your feature update deferral policy.
Security
Windows Defender Credential Guard
Windows Defender Credential Guard is now available for ARM64 devices, for additional protection against credential theft for enterprises deploying ARM64 devices in their organizations, such as Surface Pro X.
Microsoft BitLocker
BitLocker and Mobile Device Management (MDM) with Azure Active Directory work together to protect your devices from accidental password disclosure. Now, a new key-rolling feature securely rotates recovery passwords on MDM managed devices. The feature is activated whenever Microsoft Intune/MDM tools or a recovery password is used to unlock a BitLocker protected drive. As a result, the recovery password will be better protected when users manually unlock a BitLocker drive.
Key-rolling and Key-rotation
Windows 10, version 1909 also includes two new features called Key-rolling and Key-rotation enables secure rolling of Recovery passwords on MDM managed AAD devices on demand from Microsoft Intune/MDM tools or when a recovery password is used to unlock the BitLocker protected drive. This feature will help prevent accidental recovery password disclosure as part of manual BitLocker drive unlock by users.
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
An experimental implementation of TLS 1.3 is included in Windows 10, version 1909. TLS 1.3 disabled by default system wide. If you enable TLS 1.3 on a device for testing, then it can also be enabled in Internet Explorer 11.0 and Microsoft Edge by using Internet Options. For beta versions of Microsoft Edge on Chromium, TLS 1.3 is not built on the Windows TLS stack, and is instead configured independently, using the Edge://flags dialog. Also see Microsoft Edge platform status.
Virtualization
Windows Sandbox
Windows Sandbox is an isolated desktop environment where you can install software without the fear of lasting impact to your device. This feature is available in Windows 10, version 1903. In Windows 10, version 1909 you have even more control over the level of isolation.
Windows Virtual Desktop
Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is now generally available globally!
Windows Virtual Desktop is a comprehensive desktop and app virtualization service running in the cloud. It’s the only virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that delivers simplified management, multi-session Windows 10, optimizations for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, and support for Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environments. Deploy and scale your Windows desktops and apps on Azure in minutes, and get built-in security and compliance features. Windows Virtual Desktop requires a Microsoft E3 or E5 license, or a Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, as well as an Azure tenant.

You can now deploy and run traditional Win32 (desktop) apps without leaving the security of S mode by configuring the Windows 10 in S mode policy to support Win32 apps, and deploy them with Mobile Device Management (MDM) software such as Microsoft Intune. For more information, see Allow Line-of-Business Win32 Apps on Intune-Managed S Mode Devices.
SetupDiag
SetupDiag version 1.6.0.42 is available.

The rules.xml file will be updated as new versions of SetupDiag are made available. .
Windows Assessment and Deployment Toolkit (ADK)

With Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, an operating system will use information stored in the CPU to identify which cores are the fastest and then push more of the CPU intensive tasks to those cores. According to Intel, this technology 'delivers more than 15% better single-threaded performance'.
