Build 14352 was the 15th Insider Preview build of Windows 10
Anniversary Update. It was released on MAY 26, 2016. This arrived
via new "RS1" (RedStone1) development branch.
Cortana Improvements
Cortana, Your
Personal DJ: In addition to playing songs via
your local files and OneDrive, you also now have the ability to play any song
from the entire Groove Music Catalog using Cortana. If you have a Groove Music
Pass, just ask Cortana to play your favorite artist, genre, playlist or song.
This also works with Cortana on your Lock screen.
- “Hey Cortana, play <song name>”
- “Hey Cortana, play <artist>”
- “Hey Cortana, play my <Groove playlist
name>”
- “Hey Cortana, pause”
NOTE: Groove
Catalog support currently for U.S. English only – other regions to come in the
future.
Set a timer: You can now set a timer using Cortana to remind you to go get a snack,
take a break, or while cooking. You can set a timer, query how long is left and
cancel using natural language. On your PC, this works logged in or above
the Lock screen. On your phone, you can use speech or text. Examples
below. We are continuing to improve the overall user experience including
conversation mode (“set a timer”, then specify the time), and enable turning
off a ringing timer using speech. Try out:
- “Hey Cortana, set a timer for 10 minutes”
- “Hey Cortana, how much time is left?”
- “Hey Cortana, cancel my timer”
Windows Ink
Updated Sticky
Notes: With the latest update, Sticky
Notes are now better than ever* with the ability to create Cortana reminders
from your notes that will flow with you across your Cortana enabled devices.
You can also ink or type a phone number and it readies itself for calling;
write an email address and launch directly to email, write a URL and launch into
Microsoft Edge right from the Note. A few jotted-down bulleted items become an
easy-to-manage checklist. Don’t forget that Sticky Notes is also a standalone
app, just launch it from Start if you’d like to use it outside of Windows Ink
Workspace.
*Certain features
are currently limited to EN-US, with more market and language support coming in
future updates.
Compass on the
ruler: We’ve updated the Windows Ink
ruler to include a compass. If the ruler is oriented in the direction of any of
the cardinal points or midpoints, the compass indicator will become bold.
General
improvements to the Windows Ink experience: We have made performance and reliability improvements based on feedback
including:
- Sketchpad will now dismiss if you tap Esc or
Windows key combinations (for example, Win + S or Win + D).
- We’ve updated the export icon to be the more
familiar floppy disk icon for saving your sketch.
- We’ve polished the experience of opening
Sketchpad when many ink strokes are present on the canvas.
- We fixed an issue that resulted in Sketchpad
sometimes needing to be tapped twice before it would launch from the
Windows Ink Workspace flyout.
- Sketchpad and Screen Sketch will now default
to touch inking ON for non-pen devices. They will also remember the state
of the button when you relaunch Windows Ink Workspace.
- Going forward from Build 14252, the Windows
Ink Workspace icon state (on or off) on the taskbar will be preserved
after upgrading.
- We have updated Sticky Notes to show a small
sticky note icon next to the app name when hovering over the app in the
taskbar or in Task View.
Other items of note
Windows Game bar
improved with full-screen support: One of the
most common requests we see for the Windows 10 Game DVR feature is the ability
to use the Windows Game bar with more games running in full-screen. With
this flight, we’ve added support for six additional games in full-screen mode
with Windows game bar: League of Legends, World of Warcraft, DOTA
2, Battlefield 4, Counterstrike: Global Offensive,
and Diablo III. With those games, you can now use Windows key + G
to bring up the Windows Game bar when the game is running full-screen.
Tip: You can control this feature
through the Windows Game bar settings. In the settings dialog, look for the
“Show Game bar when I play full-screen games” checkbox.
Feedback Hub will
now show Microsoft responses: You’ll now see
short status tags on feedback to let you know what we’re doing with it. The
tags are a short-form way to give status on feedback we’re actively working on
or have made changes for. The tags will often be published along with a
“Microsoft response” comment that gives more context on what the team is doing.
This change also replaces the “Received” tag that you’ve been seeing on all
feedback with something much more useful and informative!
Updated File
Explorer icon: Based on Insider feedback, we
have updated the File Explorer icon with more color.
Deploying Windows
Enterprise edition gets easier: Prior to
Windows 10, the upgrade from the Pro to Enterprise edition required a complete
wipe and reinstallation of the OS. In Windows 10, we enabled bit-less edition
upgrade from Pro to Enterprise. This means all the features are on the device
already and the upgrade to Enterprise edition can be performed by changing the product
key rather than having to download and deploy a new image. However, doing this
required a reboot to complete. We heard a lot of feedback about having to
reboot to complete the upgrade so starting with this build a reboot is no
longer required when upgrading from the Pro to Enterprise edition. You can try
out this out by going to “Settings -> Update & Security ->
Activation” in the settings app and click the “Change product key” button and
enter a valid Enterprise product key.
Limited Period
Scanning: Limited Periodic Scanning is a
new security setting you can choose to turn on if you use an antivirus program
other than Windows Defender. This setting can provide an additional line of
defense in scanning and detecting malware on your device. To enable this – go
to Settings > Update & security > Windows Defender and turn “Limited
Periodic Scanning” on. Each month Microsoft’s Malicious Software Removal Tool
detects malware on 1 to 2 million devices, even those running other antivirus
software. This setting can be turned on for unmanaged devices.
Introducing Hyper-V
Containers (ADDED 5/31): You can now use Docker
natively on Windows 10 with Hyper-V Containers, to build, ship and run
containers utilizing the Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 5 the Nano
Server container OS image. A new version of the Docker engine for Windows
has also been made available that extends the support of containers while also
improving the DockerFile syntax and getting started experience for users.
Here’s what’s fixed for PC
- Feedback Hub should now be localized properly.
If you install a different language, you will need to relaunch Feedback
Hub to have it show in that language.
- We fixed the issue with Intel HD Graphics 3000
or Intel HD Graphics 2000 GPUs causing rendering issues and instability
with Microsoft Edge. If you mitigated this issue by using software
rendering instead of GPU rendering, you can go back to GPU rendering.
- Starting with this build, pinned tabs in
Microsoft Edge should no longer get lost after updating to a new Insider
Preview build.
- We fixed an issue causing Surface Books to bugcheck
(bluescreen) when using Windows Hello.
- We fixed an issue that caused the Brightness
Quick Action to appear missing.
- This build includes fixes for Precision
Touchpads. We have Improved reliability of using gestures to switch
between virtual desktops. We also improved touchpad responsiveness for
pans and two finger taps. We also fixed an issue where swiping on the
touchpad might not wake the device once it was in Connected Standby state.
- We fixed an issue resulting in maximized UWP
apps slightly overlapping the taskbar if taskbar was positioned on top.
- We fixed an issue in the Action Center where
it wouldn’t show the hover state when moving your mouse over notifications
if a notification had been expanded.
- We fixed an issue resulting in missing icons in
Action Center when using Light mode.
- We fixed an issue resulting in “Restart
Required” continuing to show in Action Center after restart has already
occurred.
- Increased hit target of X icon for
notifications in Action Center, to make them easier to dismiss.
- We fixed a timing issue where the Bluetooth
Quick Action might appear (with state ON) for a device with no Bluetooth.
- We fixed an issue where using Esc to exit a
full screen video with Microsoft Edge maximized would result in the window
becoming unmaximized.
- We fixed an issue where playing mp4s from a
network share in the Movies & TV app would sometimes show an
“MF_E_UNSUPPORTED_BYTESTREAM_TYPE” error.
- We fixed an issue that resulted in the volume
mixer slider for system sounds getting reset to 100% after receiving a
notification or altering master volume.
- Update notifications to now deep link straight
to Update History, rather than the Windows Update landing page in the
Settings app.
- Updated the Settings app so now the CTRL + E
keyboard shortcut will set focus to the Settings search box.
- We fixed an issue where theme settings were
not roaming correctly to other PCs with the same Microsoft account.
- Fixed an issue resulting in the All apps list
in Start being blank for certain languages
- We updated the Action Center icon to now hide
unread notification count when the taskbar is using small icons, as
there’s not enough space to display it.
- Fixed an issue with Command Prompt where it
wasn’t keeping the current line in view after resizing the window.
- We fixed an issue that resulted in the User
Account Control dialog sometimes appearing behind other windows instead of
in the forefront.
- We fixed an issue resulting in the Lock screen
sometimes not showing the Caps lock warning when Caps lock was on.
Known issues for PC
- Previously installed extensions for Microsoft
Edge may not work for around 15 minutes after your first sign-in. A work
around for this is to manually re-install each extension from the Store.
- In some cases, the new Cortana features
highlighted above may not work. Restarting your PC should fix the issue
and get the features working.
- Using the keyboard to navigate in certain
Store apps like Netflix or Tweetium does not work. You will need to use
your mouse.
- With this build, Microsoft Edge extension developer
features are turned off by default. To keep developing, you’ll need to go
to about:flags, and turn on development mode.
- Using back and forward swipe may cause a grey
bar to show up on the left side of web pages in Microsoft Edge, especially
if you right-click and then left-click on a page or when scrolling with
the scroll wheel on your mouse. You can work around this issue by resizing
the browser window to make the grey bar go away. This issue will be fixed
in an upcoming flight.
- We are aware of an issue that causes certain
websites like YouTube to fail to render in Microsoft Edge or IE.
This is due to a bug in a recently implemented feature call TCP Fast
Open. A workaround for this is to run the following command in
Command Prompt as an admin to turn TFO off:
- reg add
“HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings” /v
EnableTcpFastOpen /t reg_dword /d 0
