The most important part of a frequent release cycle is to hear what\u2019s working and what needs to be improved, so your feedback is extremely valued. Don\u2019t forget to register a Windows 10 device with the Windows Insider Program. That way you\u2019ll be able to provide feedback via the Feedback Hub App. In the app, choose the Server category and then the appropriate subcategory for your feedback.
