Following up on a suggestion, this thread will track the Insider Builds released following the October 2, 2018 version update to the Spring 2019 update. The previous builds release information is in the topic at Windows 10 Insider Build Update (https://www.landzdown.com/general-software-news-updates-discussions/windows-10-insider-build-update/).
Now we start with the next phase!
Windows Insider Preview Build 18252 Released to Fast and Skip Ahead: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18252 - Windows Experience BlogWindows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/10/03/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18252/).
In addition to the usual new features/known issues, the blog post has an Insider recap of Ignite 2018.
FYI - I just implemented insider on another machine and Skip Ahead is no longer an option. That option is now closed (https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-insider-skip-ahead-option-now-closed) to new participants. Those already participating will continue to get the Skip Ahead offerings.

QuoteREMINDER: As is normal with builds early in the development cycle, builds may contain bugs that might be painful for some. If this makes you uncomfortable, you may want to consider switching to the Slow ring. Slow ring builds will continue to be higher quality.
18262 also gives the user some options to remove pre-installed bloatware: https://www.techspot.com/news/76991-microsoft-latest-windows-10-test-build-you-remove.html
Windows Insider Preview Build 18267 released to Fast Ring: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18267 - Windows Experience BlogWindows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/10/24/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18267/).
Glad to see they are expanding ("Enhancing") search to all drives and folders, but am I lacking caffeine this morning?
QuoteMake sure you plug in before you start, indexing is a resource-intensive activity.
What do they mean by "plug in"?
External drives?
I believe they mean connect your laptop/tablet since the resource-intensive activity will drain the battery.
Hmmm - that makes perfect sense but I have to admit, I never would have thought that is what they meant. For one, my primary computer is a PC so I typically come at things from that direction.
But for another, I use my notebook when I am "on the road" and I don't do major upgrades when running off battery. I guess I have a bit of tunnel vision in that respect. :-[

From Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18277 - Windows Experience BlogWindows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/11/07/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18277/):
UPDATE 11/13: We have released Cumulative Update
Build 18277.1006 (KB4470200) to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring. This Cumulative Update contains the following fixes/changes:
- We're putting an update block for this build in place for a small number of PCs that use Nuvoton (NTC) TPM chips with a specific firmware version (1.3.0.1) due to a bug causing issues with Windows Hello face/biometric/pin login not working.
- We've fixed a media display bug that was causing unexpected display rendering for some users.
Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18282 (19H1) released to the Fast ring: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18282 - Windows Experience BlogWindows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/11/14/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18282/)
Windows Insider Preview Build 18290 (19H1) released to Fast Ring: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18290 - Windows Experience BlogWindows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/11/28/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18290/).
Note the information in the blog post about builds expiring:
QuoteAs pre-release software, Insider Preview builds have a built-in expiration date that we call a "timebomb". This has been included ever since the first Windows 10 Insider Preview build and helps ensure Insiders stay up to date with the latest features and quality updates. Once a build expires, Insiders will be provided a warning that the build has expired and will get that warning once a day. In addition to that, Insiders will also see User Access Control (UAC) warnings as well. Insiders in both the Fast and Slow rings need to make sure they are running the latest builds offered to those rings. Insiders in the Fast ring need to make sure they take the update to 19H1 Build 18290 (today's flight) in order to avoid hitting the timebomb set to Dec. 14th . Additionally, Insiders who used ISO for Build 18272 also need to take the Build 18290 flight to avoid hitting the timebomb. We will be removing these ISOs from the download page shortly. Insiders in the Slow ring running older builds need to update to Build 17763 (the final build for the October 2018 Update) to avoid hitting the timebomb in older RS5 builds. Insiders can check their flight settings and verify they have the latest builds by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program.
Windows Insider Build 18298 (19H1) Released to Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18298 - Windows Experience BlogWindows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/12/10/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18298/).
There a lots of changes and fixes in this build.
Windows Insider Preview Build 18305 (19H1) Released to Fast Ring:Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18305 | Windows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/12/19/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18305/).
Note: This will be the last major WIP build of 2018, although a cumulative update may be released in the coming days.
A major addition is the introduction of Windows Sandbox. See the referenced blog post for information about that, known issues, changes to the Protection history experience in Windows Security as well as Tamper Protection for Windows Defender.

UPDATE 3/22: Hello Windows Insiders, we have released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18362 (19H1) to Windows Insiders in the Slow ring.
Bold added:
UPDATE 3/26: Over the last couple of weeks, Insiders in the Slow ring have been receiving new 19H1 builds in addition to also receiving Cumulative Updates. After flighting Build 18362 to the Slow ring on Friday, Insiders began reporting they were unable to complete the update. We have discovered an issue with the Build 18356.16 (KB4494123) Cumulative Update that was preventing the update to Build 18362 from completing successfully. This issue only impacts Insiders who are on Build 18356.16 who try to update to Build 18362. THANK YOU to Insiders who reported feedback on this in Feedback Hub and upvoted – your feedback was immensely valuable in helping investigate this issue over the weekend! The team is currently working on a fix now.
In the meantime, Build 18362 will no longer be offered to Insiders who are on Build 18356.16, so Insider PCs don't continue to try and take Build 18362 and fail. We will post another update once we release the fix and resume the Build 18362 flight. Thank you!
Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18362 | Windows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/03/20/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18362/)
UPDATE 4/2: We have released Build 18356.21 (KB4496796) to Windows Insiders in the Slow ring who are currently on Build 18356.16. This update will get Insiders who are on Build 18356.16 back into a good state so they can update to Build 18362. We are allowing a few days for this update to roll out before offering Build 18362 – so that means Insiders will still not see Build 18362 offered after updating to Build 18356.21. But stay tuned!
Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18362 | Windows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/03/20/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18362/)
UPDATE 4/4: We have released Build 18362.30 (KB4497464) to Windows Insiders in the
Fast AND Slow rings. If you have updated to Build 18356.21 – this build will be offered. Build 18362.30 includes the following fixes:
- We fixed an issue where AAD users were not able to sign-in after updating to 19H1 on AAD-joined PC not enrolled into MDM.
- We fixed an issue where users were unable to enable\disable .NET Framework or other optional feature- on-demand (FODs) after installing recent Cumulative Updates.
- We fixed an issue where a user's PC may get into a unbootable state after installing a Cumulative Update and then installing a optional feature-on-demand (FOD).
As a follow-up to the change in the Windows 10 update process (Improving the Windows 10 update experience with control, quality and transparency (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/04/04/improving-the-windows-10-update-experience-with-control-quality-and-transparency/#ExZHm8HtGFoAWhtw.97)), including that the spring release will be in May, those in Skip Ahead will be merged back into the Fast ring which will move forward to 20H1.
If you wish to stay on the May 2019 Update, it is necessary to switch rings. See Check your Windows Insider Program settings - Windows Insider (https://insider.windows.com/en-us/articles/check-your-windows-insider-program-settings/) for additional information.
Edit Note: To clarify, if you want to be in the ring to test the 19H2 (Fall 2019) builds, it is necessary to switch now to the Slow Ring. Otherwise, your device will be moved from Fast and Skip Ahead to the ring testing for the 20H1 (Spring 2020) builds.
Build 18362.30 Released to Preview Ring: Releasing the May 2019 Update to the Release Preview ring | Windows Experience Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/04/08/releasing-the-may-2019-update-to-the-release-preview-ring/).
UPDATE 4/9: We have released Build 18362.53 (KB4495666) for Windows Insiders who are currently on Build 18362.30 of the Windows 10 May 2019 Update. This update also includes security updates that come as part of the normal monthly Patch Tuesday release cycle.
This update does include a known issue:
After installing this update (KB4495666), users may experience error "0x800705b4" when launching Windows Defender Application Guard or Windows Sandbox. As a workaround, you can enable the following registry keys on the Host OS and reboot:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Containers\CmService\Policy]
"DisableClone"=dword:00000001
"DisableSnapshot"=dword:00000001
UPDATE 4/26: We have released Build 18362.86 (KB4497093) for Windows Insiders who are currently in the Fast ring only and on Build 18362.53. We'll roll this out to the Slow and Release Preview rings in a bit. This Cumulative Update includes the following fixes:
- This Cumulative Update includes the fix for Windows Insiders in the Fast ring who were unable to update to the latest 20H1 build from Build 18362.53.
- We have made general improvements for users in Japan or use the OS in Japanese including fixes for the Japanese IME and fixes for date and time issues.
- We fixed an issue where UWP VPN plugin apps might not be able to properly send packets through an established VPN tunnel on an IPv6 only network.
- We fixed the issue causing updating to Build 18362 to fail to install with an 0x80242016 error.
