Other changes, improvements, and fixes
- First introduced to Insiders in
Build 14926, the experimental “Snooze” action on a tab in Microsoft Edge
which provides you with a way to set a Cortana reminder on the website you
are viewing is no longer available. Based on data we gathered and feedback
we received, we decided to remove it from the product and re-evaluate the
feature for a future release.
- We’ve improved reliability when
using the protractor and inking in Sketchpad.
- We’ve updated some of our desktop
wizards (including “map a network drive” and “extract from zip”) to now be
proportionally sized when moved across monitors.
- We fixed an issue where
Magnifier’s keyboard shortcuts sometimes wouldn’t work on the Lock screen.
- We fixed an issue that could
result in sometimes not being able to completely remove files in the
Windows.old folder using Disk Cleanup.
- We have enabled OAuth support
for Yahoo Mail accounts. This will improve sync reliability for those
accounts, and provide a more secure experience in the Outlook Mail app.
- We fixed an issue where trying
to shut down the PC while certain Device Manager dialog boxes were open
would result in the PC being stuck at the “Restarting…” screen.
- We fixed an issue where, as
closing multiple tabs with middle click in Microsoft Edge, the width of
the tabs might change, resulting in potentially unexpectedly closing the
wrong tab.
- We fixed an issue where the
copy link option when right-clicking a hyperlink in Microsoft Edge wasn’t
work.
- We fixed an issue where, if you
changed the size of the Microsoft Edge window, and then closed the app by
closing the final tab, the next time Microsoft Edge is launched it would
once again be the default size, rather than retaining the preferred window
size.
- We fixed an issue where pinned
tabs in Microsoft Edge were not being restored.
- We’ve made a number of
translation improvements, including for Chinese speakers fixing a
translation error in the dialog that appears when installing multiple
fonts at once, as well as one in Settings > System > Battery. If you
see any other translations that aren’t as you’d expect, please log
feedback – we’re listening!
- We fixed an issue where, if you
already hand a notification expanded in the Action Center, clicking the
chevron to expand a second notification would result in it expanding then
immediately closing.
- We fixed an issue where
preferred Start menu width might not be preserved after rebooting.
Known issues
- Navigating to Settings >
System > Battery will crash the Settings app.
- Using keyboard monitor hotkeys
to adjust brightness won’t work as expected. Desired brightness change
could be done via the Action Center or by going to Settings > System
> Display.
- Apps such as Store, Photos, and
People may launch on their own after your PC has been inactive for a
period of time. To stop these apps from launching on their own,
un-maximize the app before closing it.
- Double-clicking on an Excel
document to open it from File Explorer will crash Microsoft Excel. The
workaround is to open the document from within Excel.
- Microsoft Studios games like
Microsoft Sudoku, Jigsaw, Minesweeper, Taptiles, and Treasure Hunt may
freeze at the splash screen on launch.
- As we have previously announced
we are working on the Windows Holographic Shell that is going to be
included in the upcoming Windows 10 Creators Update. In today’s flight you
will see the Windows Holographic First Run app. While you will be able to
launch the app and walk through the first few screens, it won’t detect any
hardware.
