Build 14371 was the 18th Insider Preview build of Windows 10
Anniversary Update. It was released on JUNE 22, 2016. This arrived
via new "RS1" (RedStone1) development branch.
Activation Improvements:
- We’ve received feedback from Windows Insiders who have run
into activation issues on Genuine Windows devices after making changes to
device hardware such as replacing a hard drive or motherboard. As part of the
Windows 10 Anniversary Update and starting with this Insider Preview build,
we’re introducing the Activation Troubleshooter that will help you address most
commonly encountered activation issues on Genuine Windows devices including
those caused by hardware changes. For example – if your device has a digital
license (formerly called “digital entitlement”) for Windows 10 Pro from a
previously installed activated Windows 10 build but you accidentally
re-installed Windows 10 Home on such a device, the troubleshooter will
automatically guide you through upgrading to Windows 10 Pro and activate
Windows. You can launch the troubleshooter by going to Settings > Update
& security > Activation and select Troubleshoot. Remember, Windows 10
Insider Preview builds are intended to be installed on Genuine Windows devices.
- Based
on Insider feedback, we are also introducing the ability to link your Microsoft
account (MSA) to the activation digital license with this Insider Preview
build. If you already used an MSA to log in to your activated Windows 10 Home
or Pro device, your MSA will be automatically linked. You can use this MSA
linked digital license to re-activate your Genuine Windows 10 device by running
the Activation troubleshooter, if you run into Activation issues caused by
hardware changes.
Other improvements and fixes for PC
- We have made a couple of key fixes for
accessibility. We fixed the issue causing Narrator to not launch when you
toggle switch to “on” via Settings app > Ease of access > Narrator.
We also fixed an issue where Narrator spoke at an unexpectedly accelerated
rate.
- We improved learning speed for some slow cases
on Japanese IME conversion, and prediction candidate quality. We fixed a
short hang issue in Japanese IME which had been there since the Windows 10
November Update.
- We improved the file download experience in
Microsoft Edge. Now if you click on a download link from outside of
Microsoft Edge that quickly opens and closes a tab, we will open the
Download Hub so it is more apparent that a download has begun and
succeeded. We also fixed an issue where moving the caret to beyond the
visible end of the textbox when editing the name of a favorite in the
Favorites Bar would result in keyboard focus moving to the next favorite.
And we also fixed an issue where enter might not work to navigate to a URL
if you began typing in the address bar very shortly after opening a new
tab.
- Going forward from Build 14371, the 3D Display
setting state will be preserved across build updates.
- We fixed an issue resulting in MPEG-2 videos
showing the wrong duration in the Movies and TV app.
- We fixed an issue where “Scan options” text in
Windows Defender would be clipped when high DPI (text scaling) was
increased. We also fixed an issue where the offline scan event wasn’t
correctly formatted, and would show an exposed parameter (%1) in the Event
Logs. We also fixed an issue resulting in the permissions dialog for a new
extension possibly appearing under the Microsoft Edge favorites bar.
- We fixed an issue where using the OneNote Web
Clipper extension for Microsoft Edge on certain sites might result in an
error saying “Please allow third party cookies in your browser”.
- We fixed an issue where the Action Center icon
was clipped by the “Show Desktop” icon at 225% DPI. We also improved the
resolution of the sound and network icons when using a non-standard DPI
setting.
- We added a small animation to Action Center
for when notifications are deleted by the platform or dynamically
repositioned, and generally improved Action Center reliability.
- We fixed an issue resulting in the Clock and
Calendar flyout possibly showing a very old appointment when looking at
today’s events.
- We fixed an issue where certain keys in the
Calculator app might stop working after switching between OCT and HEX
mode. We also fixed an issue where hitting Enter in the calculator could
result in the menu opening rather than calculating the current result.
- We fixed an issue that could result in the VPN
Settings page freezing after pressing Connect. We also fixed an issue
where VPN might attempt to automatically connect over metered networks,
despite “Allow VPN over metered connection” being turned off.
- We fixed an issue where the icon for Settings
was missing from the Background apps and Data usage settings pages. We
also fixed an issue where content in the Windows Insider Program settings
page might be truncated.
- We fixed an issue where File Explorer would
show two copies of any picture or screenshot taken on a phone while that
phone was connected to the PC, despite only one file actually existing on
the phone.
- We fixed an issue where going between the All
apps list and the tile grid of Start in Tablet mode could have a glitchy
animation, or not have an animation at all.
- We fixed an issue where you might see
duplicate “The VPN connection needs your sign-in info.” notifications
saved in the Action Center, when only one needed to be displayed.
- We fixed an issue resulting in certain PDFs
failed to print.
- We fixed an issue where a focus box was
sometimes visible when launching the Start menu, resulting in type to
search not working.
Known issues for PC
- Clicking on networks or VPN connections in the
network flyout on the taskbar doesn’t launch the network settings page
like it should.
