Microsoft have released an update for Windows Insiders on the beta and release preview. KB4598291 takes the build to 19042.782 and includes a lengthy list of fixes. There are also some changes to Internet Explorer registry key:
We updated the default values for the following Internet Explorer registry keys:
svcKBFWLink = ” ” (empty string)
svcKBNumber = ” ” (empty string)
svcUpdateVersion = 11.0.1000.
In addition, these values will no longer be updated automatically.

If you choose not to contribute your speech data for human review, you can still use online speech recognition. The new settings contain one button to turn on online speech recognition and another button that turns on the collection of your voice clips. If you turn on the collection of your voice clips, you can turn it off at any time using the same button in the new settings page.
We fixed an issue that prevents the Start menu, Cortana, and tiles pinned to the Taskbar from opening. This issue occurs when an administrator copies an existing profile that has the Mandatory Profile check box selected.
