Build 14946 was the 8th Insider
Preview build of Windows 10 Creator Update. It was released on OCT 13, 2016.
This arrived via new "RS2" (RedStone2) development branch.
Customizing your
precision touchpad experience: When you go into Settings > Devices > Touchpad, you
will now find a section called “Other gestures”. In this section, you now have
basic customization options for your three and four finger gestures. For taps,
you can select between Cortana, Action Center, play/pause or middle mouse
button, and for left/right swipes, you can select between switching apps or
switching virtual desktops. Try it out and let us know what you think!
However, we know that some of our Insiders prefer
even more control over their experience, so for those Insiders (and power
users) we have added a new Advanced Gestures Configuration page. The page can
be accessed via a link at the bottom of Touchpad settings page.
The Advanced Gestures Configuration page has more
configuration options, including hooking gestures up for next/previous song,
creating/deleting virtual desktops, or snapping windows. In addition to these
new options, we’ve also updated the Touchpad settings to include reference
diagrams to remind you of what to expect when you swipe with three or four
fingers in a particular direction.
Known issues to look out for with your touchpad:
since the last flight, we’ve fixed the issue resulting in touchpad scrolling
being too sensitive in Windows 10 apps – appreciate everyone who shared their
feedback on the subject. There’s one other known issue we’re looking into right
now that click and drag with your precision touchpad might get misrecognized as
right-click in this build. You’ll also notice that there’s a “custom keyboard
shortcut” option in settings – that hasn’t lit up yet, but we’ll let you know
when it does. Keep the feedback coming!
Updated Wi-Fi
Settings page: We
continue to make Settings more similar across Windows devices. We have added a
new setting to the Wi-Fi settings page. When you go to Settings > Network
& Internet > Wi-Fi on your PC, then turn Wi-Fi off, you can now select a
time under “Turn Wi-Fi back on” to have it turn on automatically after the
amount of time you choose. It’s set to Manually by default in this build.
We are also continuing to move functionality from
the Wi-Fi (legacy) screen to the new Wi-Fi settings screen on Mobile. After you
turn off Wi-Fi, choose a time under Turn Wi-Fi back on to have it turn on
automatically after the amount of time you choose. Based on what we heard from
customers in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, we changed the default setting
from “In 1 hour” to Manually in this build.
Expanding our to
text prediction to more languages: This has been an exciting build for keyboard
improvements, and we’re excited to announce one more – with this build, we’ve
updated the following keyboards to now support text prediction: Lithuanian,
Latvian, Estonian, Slovene (also called Slovenian), Bulgarian, Albanian,
Macedonian, Afrikaans, Galician, Basque, Swahili, Bangla in Bangladesh,
Georgian, Azerbaijani (also called Azeri) (in Latin script), Kazakh, Armenian,
Hausa (in Latin script) and Uzbek (in Latin script). If you speak any of these
languages, we’d love for you to try it out and let us know how it feels
(specific examples really help, if you have any). We’ll be watching the
feedback closely and plan to update this work based on what we hear from you.
Other improvements and fixes
- Optional components such as Hyper-V and Bash should remain installed
after updating to this build.
- We have fixed the issue where signing into games that use Xbox Live
would not work. You should be able to sign-in to Xbox Live in games in
this build.
- We fixed the issue causing Microsoft Edge to sometimes crash on
launch, or when you type in address bar or try to open a new tab. You no
longer need to run the PowerShell script.
- We fixed the issue causing touch scrolling to be too sensitive in
Windows 10 apps, such as Microsoft Edge.
- We fixed an issue where Explorer.exe would hang when attempting to
open considerably large .MOV files.
- We fixed an issue that could result in the network icon occasionally
getting into a state where a red X would display in the taskbar despite an
active internet connection, until the device had been restarted.
- We fixed an issue where if the device’s brightness was automatically
adjusted after being woken from sleep, the brightness level shown in the
Action Center’s Brightness Quick Action might not reflect the current
brightness of the device.
- We fixed an issue leading to Narrator not tracking focus on the Start
Menu All apps list or tiles.
- We fixed an issue potentially resulting in the “Open with…” dialog
displaying with two entries for Calculator after tapping the Calculator
key on a keyboard or running the Calculator app.
Known issues
- If you have 3rd party antivirus
products such as Bitdefender, Kaspersky Antivirus, F-Secure Antivirus and
Malwarebytes installed on your PC – your PC might not be able to complete
the update to this build and roll-back to the previous build.
- Larger Windows Store games such as ReCore, Gears of War 4, Forza
Horizon 3, Killer Instinct and Rise of the Tomb Raider may fail to launch.
- PCs that are capable of Connected Standby such as the Surface Book and
Surface Pro 4 may bugcheck (bluescreen) while in Connected Standby.
