Build 14342 was the 14th Insider Preview build of Windows 10 Anniversary
Update. It was released on MAY 10, 2016. This arrived via new
"RS1" (RedStone1) development branch.
Updates for Extensions in Microsoft Edge: Instead of
extracting and loading extensions from a local folder, all available extensions
can now be downloaded directly from the Windows Store. This change means that
your currently installed extensions will be removed, and you’ll have to
reinstall the ones you want from the Store. Then in future updates, your
extensions will be automatically re-downloaded and installed.
We also have some new extensions available for you to try out.
We are excited to announce that starting with this build, both AdBlock and
Adblock Plus are now available for download in the Windows Store in addition to
Pin It Button, Mouse Gestures, Reddit Enhancement Suite, Microsoft Translator,
and OneNote Web Clipper. It is recommended that you only install one of either
AdBlock or Adblock Plus as having them both running at the same time can cause
issues with viewing websites in Microsoft Edge.
Important note: There is a bug in this build that occurs if you
turn off all extensions without uninstalling them, you may not be able to close
the browser or get context menus to work. To avoid this issue, uninstall any
extensions you no longer want to use instead of turning them off. If you do hit
this issue, to get out of this state you will need to turn on one or more
extensions or uninstall all extensions, kill any Microsoft Edge processes
running in Task Manager, and restart Microsoft Edge.
Real-time web notifications in Microsoft Edge: Microsoft Edge
now supports real-time web notifications, which allow participating websites to
send notifications to you via Action Center, with your permission. For example,
when your friend sends you a message on Skype for Web while you’re busy in the Xbox app, you won’t miss a
thing. A notification from the website will appear in Windows, just like an app
might send. Click on the notification and you’ll be right back in Microsoft
Edge at the site that sent it!
Swipe navigation in Microsoft Edge: Since the release
of Windows 10 Mobile, our top feedback request for Microsoft Edge has been
asking for the return of the swipe gesture to navigate back and forward. It’s
also been one of our top 10 requests on PC. With this build, you can now swipe
from anywhere on the page to get back to your previous page. This will be
coming in the next Mobile build as well!
Bash on Ubuntu on Windows Improvements:
- Symlinks within the Windows
Subsystem for Linux are now functional on the mounted Windows directories.
This fix helps support many scenarios including the npm installer.
- Users with non-Latin Windows usernames are now able to install Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.
Skype UWP Preview Update: The Skype UWP Preview
app will be
updated tomorrow (5/12) via the Store in response to your feedback.
In this release, you have the ability to set a dark theme and can switch
between different Skype accounts. You can expect mobile release in the June
timeframe.
Updated Windows Ink Workspace icon: We have updated the Windows
Ink Workspace icon on the taskbar. The new icon shows a more expressive ink
stroke and is more consistent with other icons in the notification area. The
new icon also looks better at wider range of sizes.
Updated visuals for User Account Control dialog: The UAC dialog now
supports dark mode! As part of this work, we’ve updated also the header color
from yellow to blue.
Middle-click for dismiss in Action Center: Action Center now
supports the popular dismiss model of middle-clicking on a notification via the
middle button scroll wheel on your mouse to a single notification.
Middle-clicking on an app’s name will dismiss all the notifications listed for
that app.
Apps for websites: As we
discussed at Build 2016, you will soon be able to redirect certain websites to open
with an app instead. While there are currently no apps that support this, in
preparation for their availability we have added a new page at Settings >
System > Apps for websites where you will be able to manage them. Please
stay tuned!
Feedback Hub improvements: We’ve heard from
you that it can sometimes be hard to find which category your feedback belongs
in. Now when you create new feedback, the Feedback Hub will suggest categories
and subcategories based on the title and description you entered. If you see a
suggestion that looks right, just click it to fill in the menus and get your
feedback to the right engineers quickly.
Here’s what’s fixed for PC
- We have fixed the issues
blocking the Desktop App Converter Preview (Project Centennial). You can
now run the converter on the Enterprise edition as well as Pro edition of
Windows. You will need the latest converter and base image from here to take advantage of all
the improvements which will be available later today.
- We fixed the issue causing
Tencent online games from not working in current builds from the
Development Branch.
- We have fixed the issue causing
DRM-protected content from services like Groove Music, Microsoft Movies
& TV, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video or Hulu from being playable with
playback with 0x8004C029 or 0x8004C503 errors.
- We fixed an issue resulting in
audio crashes for users who play audio to a receiver over S/PDIF or HDMI,
and use a driver that supports real-time encoding via technologies like
Dolby Digital Live or DTS Connect.
- Polished the animation when
invoking Cortana on the Lock screen. And also resolved an issue where
tapping the link to fix mic issues wouldn’t fix them.

the ok/cancel buttons in the network flyout being clipped on high DPI
devices.
- We fixed an issue where you
might see Windows Hello messages on the screen while you were already
logging in with a fingerprint.
- We fixed the issue where if you
were in an app and clicked on a link with a URL longer than 260
characters, it would bring up the “Open with…” dialog instead of opening
with your default browser.
- We fixed an issue resulting in
not being able to use your mouse in the Photos app to either move photo
while zoomed or adjust crop region.
- The ALT + Y keyboard shortcut to
choose “yes” now works with the updated UAC UI.

pages in the Settings app – in particular, updated battery icon to be more
consistent with the weight of the other icons.

the Action Center, and resolved an issue where icon in Taskbar wasn’t
displaying correctly at 175% DPI.
- We fixed an issue where the
image used in Screen Sketch would be rotated 90 degrees for native
portrait devices (such as the Dell Venue 8 Pro). Also polished the
experience of cropping images in Screen Sketch.
- We fixed Clock and Calendar
flyout issues on the taskbar with the 24-hour time format where the agenda
items would display using 12-hour format instead of the 24-hour time
format and certain items would be off by 12 hours.
- We fixed an issue where the
Clock and Calendar flyout couldn’t be dismissed by clicking on the date
and time in the taskbar a second time.
- We updated the “set location”
notification so tapping anywhere in the notification will now enable you
to set a default location.
- We fixed an issue where certain
shortcuts weren’t working in UWPs, for example CTRL + C, CTRL + V, and ALT
+ Space.
- We fixed an issue where tapping
the battery icon wouldn’t open the Battery flyout when in Tablet Mode.
- We fixed an issue where clicking
elements in the Start navigation pane might result in the Store opening
instead.
- We fixed an issue where
background audio tasks might show up in the volume controls.
- We added a “Clear Input History”
option to the IME Settings page.
- We fixed an issue where doing an
action on a file in a folder pinned to Quick Access after using the
address bar to get there might result in File Explorer unexpectedly
navigating to Quick Access.
- We fixed an issue resulting in
Cortana crashing if you shared an avatar with Cortana from the Xbox
Avatars app.
- We fixed an issue causing the
search box on the Language Settings page to not work.
- We fixed the issue causing
Symantec products such as Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security
are causing PCs to bluescreen (bug check).
Known issues for PC
- Feedback Hub is not localized
and the UI will be in English (U.S.) only, even with language packs
installed.
- Feedback Hub takes about 20-30
minutes after updating to this build to download and populate itself if
launched from Start. If you launch Feedback Hub from All apps – it will
force the app to hydrate.
- The QQ app from Tencent crashes.
We’re working on a fix for the issue.
- If you are using a non-English
keyboard, you can’t accept Bash prompts.
- We are investigating an issue
where if you’re running Insider Preview builds in certain languages, the
All apps list on Start appears empty. A workaround for this is to use
search to launch apps.
- You may see square boxes in
certain apps when using some of the new emoji – we’re still getting things
set up, this will be resolved in a future build.
