Microsoft late this afternoon pushed out Windows 10 2004 Insider Preview Build 19041.1 to Windows Insiders in both the Fast and Slow rings.

It’s important to note that starting in this release, Microsoft is making the Quick Searches feature international Starting as part of a server-side update. The feature is now expanding to other languages and locations, including Chinese, French, and Japanese.
