Microsoft published a new support page on its Docs website that provides administrators and users with information about known issues and fixed issues for Windows.

The page, which is titled Windows 10 release information, includes information for Windows 10, Windows Server, and previous versions of Windows including Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.

If you check the issues of the current version of Windows 10, Windows 10 version 1809, you will find a list of current and resolved known issues listed on the page.

Each issue is listed with a summary, the update it originated in, the status, and last update. Links point to the KB article of the update and to additional details on the Windows 10 Release Information page.

Note: The formatting of the table is fixed, it appears which means that you may not see all columns of the table on the page.

A click on the details link jumps to a section on the same page that describes the issue in detail. There you find information about affected platforms, workarounds, and other information that may help you mitigate the issue ore solve it.

Microsoft lists Windows 10 version 1507 to 1809, Windows Server 2019 and 2016, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2 and 2012 on the page currently. Windows 7, 8.1 and the old server versions are listed under previous versions on the page. The May 2019 Update release will see Windows 10 version 1903 added to the page.

That's not all though; you find a message center listed on the page that lists recent announcements. These announcements provide important information from Microsoft teams and employees in regards to Windows.

Recent announcements include an article on the benefits of Windows 10 Dynamic Updates, information that Windows Server 2008 R2 systems need a servicing stack update to add support for SHA-2 code signing, or that Windows 10 version 1809 is designated for broad deployment. These announcements are posted on various blogs and sites that Microsoft maintains.
