Does the latest build of Windows Server 2019 (17623) have Desktop Experience?
I downloaded Windows_InsiderPreview_Server_17623.iso and tried to build a server from it, but all i got was the Server Core version. I need the desktop experience version. Did i do something wrong, or misunderstand this release? During the install i only saw two options:
1. Standard Edition
2. Datacenter Edition
No option to keep or get rid of desktop experience/GUI.
Check which version you are downloading you'll need the LTSC version. I downloaded it today and I have 4 options, Standard Core, Standard Desktop Experience, Datacenter Core, and Datacenter Desktop Experience.

I have downloaded the LTSM version "Windows_InsiderPreview_Server_vNext_en-us_17623.iso" and it does have all four versions that I can see..

Choose your lanuage.
This might work as a direct link - https://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Windows_InsiderPreview_Server_vNext_en-us_17623.iso?t=429966d3-a30e-4f67-b832-13c0bc0fc083&e=1522147426&h=777a659baf3053367ca91440db3ae457
These have the GUI.
I had the same issue.
It appears that the download page does not work properly in Chrome. Use a different browser and after selecting the language a separate download dialog will appear for the full (desktop+core) version of the ISO, which is 4.3GB. The links above the language dropdown are the core versions (ISO will be 2.9GB).
