The May 2019 Update will spend a month in the Release Preview ring

Windows 10 '19H1,' known as the May 2019 Update, will spend over a month in the Release Preview ring before rolling out to the public.

Microsoft today announced that it will begin testing the upcoming Windows 10 '19H1' release, known as the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, in the Insider Release Preview ring for over a month, starting next week. This is double the time previous feature updates have spent in this ring, and Microsoft is doing it to ensure the upcoming version of Windows 10 is stable enough for public release sometime in May.

The last Windows 10 feature update was released with a plethora of issues, some of which were very damaging. In some cases, the update deleted user files without being able to recover them again. It wasn't a good look, and it didn't help the fact that Microsoft skipped the entire Release Preview testing phase for that release of Windows 10, for reasons that still haven't been explained. The Release Preview ring is the last port of call before a feature update is made available to the world. It tests updates from the last release to the new release, among other things, for any issues that may have popped up throughout development.
