Windows 10 Build 19628 from mn_release Branch Released to Insiders Download
A new preview build of Windows 10 has been released to Windows Insiders on the Fast ring. Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19628 also marks the first release from MN_RELEASE (Manganese) branch, instead of the usual RS_PRERELEASE branch. Microsoft claimed that builds from MN_RELEASE branch are not matched to any specific Windows 10 release, and change is on short-term basis. However, rumor is that Windows 10 20H2 has been codenamed Manganese internally. Manganese branch release is expected to last till later part of June before the Fast ring been switched to Iron (Fe) branch, which may be become the release branch for Windows 10 21H1.
Windows 10 Build 19628 does not add many new features. The notable change is support for DNS over HTTPS (DoH). DNS over HTTPS allows DNS (Domain Name System) resolution to be performed via HTTPS protocol to encrypt the data between the DoH client and DoH-based DNS resolver. DoH improves the user privacy and security by minimizing the risk of eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data by MitM (Man-in-the-Middle) attack. The unsecured DNS has long been considered the weakest link after the increasing popularity of HTTPS.
