Build 15002 was the 15th Insider
Preview build of Windows 10 Creator Update. It was released on JAN 09, 2017.
This arrived via new "RS2" (RedStone2) development branch.
Microsoft Edge
Updates
Tab preview bar: It’s easy
to lose track of what’s in your tabs, especially when you have many tabs from
the same site, with similar titles and icons. Tab preview bar allows you to
easily glance at a visual preview of every tab you have open without leaving
your page. You can scroll through the list with touch, mouse wheel, or a
touchpad. Just click the chevron icon next to your tabs to get started. Give it
a try and let us know what you think!
Set these tabs
aside: We often
hear that it’s a headache to keep all your tabs organized, and to pick up where
you left off. Sometimes you just need to set everything aside and start from a
clean slate. We’ve added two new buttons next to your tabs in Microsoft Edge to
help you quickly manage all your tabs without losing your flow.
Jump List for
Microsoft Edge: You can now
launch a new window or new InPrivate window for Microsoft Edge straight from
its Taskbar icon. Simply right-click or swipe up on the Microsoft Edge icon in
the Taskbar, and pick the task you want!
Component UI: This
release introduces a new UWP architecture for Microsoft Edge’s multi-process
model, including a new visual tree and new input model. These changes will help
improve stability and input responsiveness and make the browser UI more
resilient to slow or hung web page content. Be on the lookout for any issues
with tab launches and activation or input (including keyboard, mouse, or touch)
and share feedback in the Feedback Hub if you have problems!
Flash
Click-to-Run: Microsoft
Edge will now block untrusted Flash content by default until the user
explicitly chooses to play it. This means better security, stability, and
performance for you, while preserving the option to run Flash when you choose.
Web Payments: Microsoft
Edge now has preview support for the new Payment Request API, which allows
sites to make checkout easier using the payment and shipping preferences stored
in your Microsoft Wallet.
Start and Shell Improvements
Tile Folders in
Start: As part of our
ongoing effort to converge experiences across devices, and to address your
feedback, we’re excited to let you know that with today’s build you will now be
able to group your Start tiles into folders. Tile folders are a way for you to
organize and personal your tiles in Start, and we’re happy to now bring this to
Windows 10 PCs. To get started, drag and drop a tile on top of another tile in
Start to create a folder.
Updated Windows
Share experience: We have
redesigned the Windows sharing experience to be more app-focused and integrated
with where you are sharing from. The new Windows Share experience will pop-up
the new share flyout within the app you are sharing from and give you a list of
applications you can share to. This list changes based on your usage.
The WIN + H hotkey, used in the old Windows share
experience, has been removed.
Capture a region
of your screen: OneNote
2016’s popular screenshot feature is now built into Windows 10! You can use Win
+ Shift + S to capture a region of your screen and copy it to the clipboard for
pasting into OneNote for Windows 10 or any other app.
Improved
high-DPI support for desktop apps: Build 15002 brings more goodness in the way of high-DPI
support. First, much like we did with Microsoft Management Console (MMC), we’ve
updated Performance Monitor to now be more crisp on high-DPI PCs. Second, while
we’ve enabled these improvements by default for some Windows desktop apps, you
can now enable them yourself for other GDI-based applications, too! To do this,
you’ll need to find the application’s .exe file, right-click on it, and
select Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab,
and turn on System (Enhanced) DPI scaling, and click OK.
This setting overrides the way that applications handle DPI scaling and forces
them to be scaled by Windows. The setting that was previously labeled Disable
display scaling on high DPI settings is now referred to as Application scaling.
This works only for apps that use GDI.
Smooth Window
Resize: Insiders
should see improved performance and smoothness when resizing GDI-based Desktop
applications (such as File Explorer, Task Manager, and Notepad) and UWP apps
(such as Groove Music and Outlook Mail). In addition to this work, we’ve also
updated our code so that when rapidly resizing UWP apps, the window frame
background will be transparent as the app adjusts, rather than a flat base colour.
Desktop Icon
Placement and Scaling Improvements: We’ve heard from you that sometimes desktop icons
aren’t scaled or arranged as expected, particularly after docking/undocking
your device, working with monitors that have different DPI, or
projecting your monitor. We want users to feel that desktop icons are stable,
scaled properly, and move predictably when changing monitor configurations, so
we’ve made changes to how this logic works in order to address your feedback.
Now when you change your multi-monitor configuration, dock/undock your device,
project your display, add or remove monitors, or otherwise make changes that
affect the icon scaling, you should see an improvement in how the system
adjusts the layout of your desktop icons.
Simplified and
faster VPN access: A much
requested feature from our VPN users, we’ve updated the Network flyout so that
after selecting a VPN, you can now click connect from within
the flyout rather needing to open VPN Settings. We appreciate the feedback and
look forward to what you have to share next! If you encounter any issues, you
can still connect to VPN from the VPN Settings (and please log feedback letting
us know about it!)
Improved sign-in
dialog for apps: We have
improved the app sign-in experience for users with multiple accounts. The new
sign-in dialog shows your available Microsoft, Work, or School accounts and
gives you the ability to add new accounts to Windows.
Lunar Calendar
support for the Taskbar: Those of you who follow the Simplified or Traditional
Chinese lunar calendar can now use the taskbar calendar to quickly check the
lunar date alongside the current Gregorian date. Special holidays are called
out in accent-colored text. Go to Settings > Time
& Language > Date & Time to pick
which additional calendar you’d like to see. Thanks to everyone who sent in
feedback requesting this!
Improving our
notification experience for app developers and everyone: App developers
are increasingly facing scenarios within their applications where they require
more flexibility to organize notifications to provide the desired user
experience. To provide a more relevant and crafted experience to Windows users,
we will now provide app developers a way to create custom subgroups for their
notifications in Action Center. Also, to address issues where notifications
might have the wrong time stamp (for example, if your PC was asleep when you
received a cross-device notification from your phone), we’re enabling app
developers to override the notification timestamp.
Windows Ink
Improvements
Windows Ink pen, pencil and highlighter control to
now visually indicate which color is selected. You can try this out now in the
Windows Ink Workspace.
In addition, thanks to your feedback, we’ve added
point erase to the Windows Ink Workspace’s Sketchpad and Screen Sketch. This
means that now you have the option of deleting your whole ink stroke or erasing
only pieces of it. You can select your desired option by tapping the eraser
icon, where you’ll find new options to switch between eraser types.
We’ve also updated our taskbar logic, so that if
you have the Windows Ink Workspace icon on your taskbar, it displays the
taskbar of every monitor. Clicking it launches the Windows Ink Workspace on
that monitor.
More Cortana
improvements
Easier discovery
of Cortana’s app-specific commands: Many of our awesome app developers have been adding
commands for Cortana to help you get where you need to go even faster—for
example directly launching radio stations, playing movies, or searching for
recipes. For apps that support these commands, we will now bubble up suggested
commands as you type the app name in Cortana. Clicking a particular suggestion
launches the app with that command. Once you know the command, you can also
trigger it by simply saying it to Cortana.
More recurrence
options for Reminders: In this build of Windows we’ve added a new option
to set recurring time-based Cortana Reminders for “Every Month” or “Every Year”
—great for bill payment or anniversary reminders!
Keyboard
shortcut change for invoking Cortana: The keyboard shortcut to invoke Cortana in listening
mode is changing to WIN + C. This shortcut will be off by default. If you’d
like to use it now, head to Cortana’s settings and you’ll find a new option to
enable it. WIN + Shift + C will be used to open the App Charms menu, seen in
the title bar of Windows 8 apps.
Accessibility
Improvements
A more inclusive
experience out of the box: The Windows Out-Of-Box-Experience (OOBE) Team has
been working to reimagine how people set up their PCs for the first time. Our
goal is to make this simpler and more accessible so every person powering on
their new PC can independently set it up. While we have made numerous
improvements in past releases to achieve this goal, we now want to take it to
the next level where people can listen and respond to Cortana verbally (when
asked questions*) to further simplify and make the setup process more
accessible to even more people.
Narrator support
for WinPE and WinRE: This build
also now supports the use with Narrator from WinPE for
installing Windows as well as troubleshooting options with WinRE. When we make
the ISOs available for this build, you’ll be able to try this out by building a
bootable USB drive or other bootable media and using the ISO files. After
booting into WinPE, wait 15-20 seconds and then use the keyboard shortcut CTRL
+ WIN + Enter to launch Narrator. You will need to restart Narrator to use it
after any reboot during the install process.
Braille support
in Windows: You will
find a new button that offers the ability to download support for braille via
Settings > Ease of Access > Narrator.
Narrator
Improvements: You can now
navigate to headings of a specific level by typing the number of the heading
level you want e.g. 1 for the next heading level 1. Add shift for the previous
heading. In addition, Narrator’s Scan Mode now allows you to press Home
and End to move to the start and end of a line of text respectively when
pressed. Finally, when in Scan Mode you can press Ctrl + Home and Ctrl + End to
move to the start or end of the web page or other content you are reading.
Improved
legibility for UWP apps in high contrast: As part of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update,
we improved the legibility of many websites viewed in high contrast by showing
an opaque layer behind the text. We recognize that similar to the state of
websites on the Internet, many UWP apps have not been tailored to present an
optimal experience for users who need increased contrast. So, we’re taking
a similar approach to improve how UWP apps look in high contrast. We’ve
updated the XAML framework to now display an opaque layer behind the text and
coerce semi-transparent UI to be fully opaque. This addresses the most
common issues in apps like in the before/after screenshot below.
In addition, we’ve updated Windows Ink to now
support a rich color range experience when using your device in high contrast.
Windows Defender
Improvements
We continue to make improvements to the new Windows
Defender app in Windows 10. Improvements in this build include:
- New options to run quick, advanced, or full scans.
- Device performance and health scans give you a report on your PC’s
health.
- Family options has visual improvements and links you to great
content/applications on the web to set up a family or view device
information.
- Settings pages to change configuration on the app or learn more about
it
- General bug fixes and improvements.
Settings
Improvements
Helping you find
the setting you need in Settings: One of our ongoing goals has been to make Settings easier
and faster to navigate. Previous updates towards this have included improved
Settings search, and adding icons uniquely associated with each Settings
category. Based on feedback, we’ve made a few more design tweaks with this
build:
- Settings pages now contain additional information on the right or
bottom (depending on the window size) providing links to support,
feedback, and any other related settings if available.
- Since our System Settings list was getting quite long, we’ve moved app
related settings out of System into a new category called Apps.
- You will notice that the header on the landing page of each Settings
category will now stay in place as you pan the page.
Updated device
settings: The new
device settings experience combines the Bluetooth and Connected devices pages
to offer a single place to manage your devices/peripherals. Bluetooth
accessories, wireless docks, Xbox Wireless controllers, and media devices can
all now be discovered and managed from the same place using the same familiar
UI on both the desktop and mobile. We’ve also listened to your feedback
and added the ability to disconnect and reconnect your Bluetooth audio devices
directly from this Settings page.
New Display
Settings options: Based on
feedback of the most commonly used settings, we have updated the Display
Settings. In the refreshed display page, numerous changes have been made to
make the page clearer and easier to use, including now being able to change
resolution straight from the main Display Settings page.
Lower Blue Light: Windows can
now automatically lower the amount of blue light emitted from your PC at night.
Settings to turn this functionality on or off and use a local sunset and
sunrise or custom schedule are in Settings -> System -> Display. If you
need to quickly override the schedule or always want manual control, you can
enable this quick action in Settings->Notifications & actions. Use this
capability for a couple nights and send us feedback through the Feedback Hub,
we’d love to know what you think!
New per app
Surface Dial settings: App developers
have the option of providing custom tools for the Surface Dial when using it
within their app. In addition to this, Windows Insiders with Surface Dials will
now be able to customize the default tool set for individual apps starting with
this build. Setup the keyboard shortcuts most meaningful for specific apps –
like Ctrl + Delete in Word 2016, or CTRL + Tab in Sticky Notes. Head to
Settings > Devices > Wheel today to try it out and share your thoughts!
We’ve also updated the custom tool creator to now enable you to set keyboard
shortcuts that include a number of common symbols.
Windows
Personalization now supports recent colors: We understand how important colors are for
personalizing your Windows experience, and that sometimes it takes a few tries
to find the perfect one to match your background. Sometimes you pick a new
color, close Settings, only to discover that the color you picked wasn’t quite
what you were looking for. We have a solution! With Build 15002, we’ve added a
new “recent colors” section to Settings > Personalization > Colors, so
you can easily pick between the colors you’ve decided on in the past.
Windows Theme
Management in Settings: As we’ve mentioned in the past, one of our ongoing
efforts is to consolidate Settings and Control panel, and we use your feedback
to prioritize the convergence into Settings. We’re happy to unveil the next
piece of this project: Management of themes has now moved out of Control panel
and in to the Settings app. It can be found, along with all your other familiar
personalization options, under Settings > Personalization. Pick one of your
recent themes, or create and save custom new ones. How would you like to see
Settings evolve next? Let us know in the Feedback Hub!
Improved
Cross-Device Experiences Settings: With the Anniversary Update, we added the ability for
app developers to create cross device experiences. Users could enable or
disable this feature for their account via Settings > Privacy > General
“Let apps on my other devices open apps and continue experiences on this
device”. With Build 15002, we’ve moved this setting to its own page – a new
entry under Settings > System, called “Cross-device experiences”, and we’ve
added a new dropdown to allow you to switch between My Devices or Everyone.
Metered Ethernet
Connection Support: Based on your feedback, we’ve added the “Set as
metered connection” option to the Ethernet (LAN) connections in Settings
> Network & Internet > Ethernet. Just like mobile broadband and
Wi-Fi connections, this option helps you to restrict background data
usage from some applications and gives you more control over how data is used
over the Ethernet connection.
Improving your
precision touchpad experience:
Adjusting the
volume control experience: When assigning three or four-finger swipes to control
volume, the volume control UI will now appear as you’re changing the volume. We
have also fine-tuned the gesture, so it now takes less swipes to adjust the
volume by a significant amount
Polishing the
Touchpad Settings page: Based on user feedback, we have made some UI improvements
to the new touchpad settings page, including creating two new groups for three
and four finger swipes, updating search terms to make them more discoverable,
providing more flexibility to control how taps work, and fixing an issue where
Touchpad Settings wasn’t showing an icon next to the name.
BSOD is now GSOD
In an effort to more easily distinguish Windows
Insider reports vs the reports of those on production builds, we’ve updated the
bugcheck page (blue screen) to be green. Released versions of Windows 10 will
continue to have the classic blue color, including the final release of the
Windows 10 Creators Update.
Quick Virtual
Machine Creation in Hyper-V
Hyper-V Manager has a new page that makes it faster
and easier to create virtual machines. Just open Hyper-V Manager and
click ‘Quick Create’. The simple wizard will help you set up a
VM in just a few clicks. After the virtual machine has been created,
the confirmation page will allow you to connect to it or
enter advanced settings.
This is still a work-in-progress and we would love
to hear what you think. Next time you need a VM, please give it a try and send
us your feedback!
Improving your
update experience
We’ve already made a number of updates based on the
feedback you’ve shared with us and today we’re happy to let you know there are
some more headed your way:
- We’ve added an option that will enable you to pause updates on your
computer for up to 35 days. To pause your machine, go to the Advanced
options page of Windows Update Settings. This capability will be
available on Professional, Education, and Enterprise editions of Windows.
- We’ve added an option that will now allow you to decide whether or not
to include driver updates when you update Windows. This capability will be
available on Professional, Education, and Enterprise editions of Windows.
- We’ve added a new icon to the Windows Update Settings page to make easier to see your update status at a glance. This update status and experience is consistent with the experience you’ll find in the new Windows Defender dashboard.
- We’ve made some improvements to our logic to better detect if the PC’s
display is actively being used for something, such as projecting, and
avoid attempting to restart.
- Windows Insiders with the Home edition of Windows will now also be
able to leverage the increased 18-hour max window for Active Hours.
Windows
Information Protection improvements for business customers
Placing Work
Files on Removable Drives: Some enterprise customers have found that saving Work
files to a removable drive would prevent them from accessing the files on a
different device due to encryption. We’ve added a prompt to let you choose what
you want to do in this case, which should make it easier to transfer work files
to a removable drive:
- When copying Windows Information Protection (WIP) encrypted files to a
removable drive, we now ask if you want to keep your files as Work,
convert them to Personal, or cancel the copy operation.
- When saving Windows Information Protection (WIP) encrypted files to a
removable drive, we now ask if you want to keep your files as Work,
convert them as Personal, or save to a different location.
Open Dialog for
Work Files in Personal Apps: We protect companies using Windows Information Protection
(WIP) by displaying a warning message when opening work files in un-allowed
applications (in other words, applications that are not on the whitelist of
approved apps that can be used in an enterprise setting). When opening WIP
files in un-allowed applications, we now inform the customer that the file is a
work file and cannot be converted to personal in un-allowed applications.
Power usage
experiments on select Windows 10 devices
We are running experiments on a small set of
Insider devices to evaluate an upcoming Windows 10 Creators Update feature
which helps improve Windows battery life. Depending on the experiment
configuration, you may see one or more applications reported as “throttled” in
the task manager (see insert). The experiment should have no noticeable impact
on your user experience and we look forward to hearing your feedback. Please
share your experience with us through the feedback hub (under “Power” category
& subcategory “throttled Applications”). In support of this experiment,
some of you will also see a new power slider in the battery flyout.
Input Method
Editor (IME) Improvements
Improved access
to Microsoft Pinyin IME settings when using the language bar: This week
we’re happy to announce that the same will be true for those who prefer the
language bar, as we’ve updated the settings icon to now directly open IME
settings.
New settings
page for Microsoft Pinyin IME: To go alongside with the new customization options
we’re adding for the IME, we’ve revamped the Microsoft Pinyin settings page –
now divided into 5 categories so you can more easily find what you’re looking
for. Have a look through the new settings and setup your IME experience the way
that feels best to you!
Hotkeys for the
Microsoft Pinyin IME: We’ve added
some new features to improve the keyboard experience when using the IME.
Including candidate window switch keys configuration, Chinese/English
punctuation switch, default punctuation mode, Full/half width switch, default
full/half width mode, Simplified/Traditional Chinese output switch and 2nd/3rd
candidate submission. Learn about this new option in Microsoft Pinyin settings
> Keys. We’ve also added a new hot key to open the emoji panel (Ctrl +
Shift + B), so you can open it directly without having to first have the
candidate window visible.
Roaming
self-learned phrases: This
week, we’re happy to announce the natural extension of that work: If you have
an MSA connected to your device, your self-learned phrases will now roam
between all of your MSA connected PCs.
The Microsoft
Pinyin IME emoji panel gets a redesign, new predictive emoji, and stickers: Since
their conception, emoji have become an important tool for quickly convey
thoughts. Along with our new keyboard shortcut (CTRL + Shift + B), we’ve
updated the look of our emoji panel to make it easier to find the emoji,
kaomoji and symbols you’re looking for. We’ve also added a totally new section:
Stickers! The stickers tab will appear for apps that support sticker input. In
addition, based on the words you type, we will now bubble up suggested emoji
and stickers. Simply type something and then click on the face icon in the
candidate pane (or use the new hotkey, tap the thought bubble, and the emoji
predictions will be presented to you.
Making it easier
to type complex input faster: Since there isn’t any pinyin starting with U or V,
previously the Microsoft Pinyin IME would primarily just give English
suggestions in that case, knowing that about how pinyin is written, we’ve taken
the opportunity to add two new modes: U-mode and V-mode. U-mode can now be used
for advanced input features, like inputting complex characters, and V-mode can
be used to input content which normally is not easy/quick to type.
Name input mode: Since most
names are not commonly used words, it can be difficult to type with the IME
because the correct candidate will appear far down the list (or not at all). In
order to solve this problem, we’re introducing a new name input mode for the
Microsoft Pinyin IME. When you enter name input mode, instead of your normal
candidate predictions, all candidates will be from a dictionary of names, thus
making it more likely you’ll find the one you want. Press the “;” key (in
double pinyin mode, press “Shift +;” key combination) and then press the “r”
key to enter the name input mode. Name input mode can be disabled or enabled in
the Microsoft Pinyin settings page.
Custom double
pinyin schemes: Double pinyin
is a method for creating shortcuts that speed up typing. Microsoft Pinyin IME
users can now add, edit, or delete custom double pinyin schemes, so you can
create the one that feels best to you. To do this, go to the IME > General
settings, and switch the pinyin style from Full to Double. You will then be presented
with options for setting up the scheme of your choice.
Japanese Input
Method Editor (IME) Improvements:
- When the IME is turned on or off (by you or an application), we will
now display a large indication of the current mode in the center of the
screen. This is to help be more aware of active mode and avoid
unexpectedly typing in the wrong mode. This large indicator can be turned
on or off in the IME Properties.
- We’ve changed the trigger timing of showing the predictive candidates,
from typing 3 characters to 1. This will not impact those who have
previously adjusted the length. If you’d like to change the length, there
is an option to do so on the IME’s Advanced Settings > Predictive Input
page.
- We’ve changed the logic to show English words more frequently as
predictive candidates so that IME users can input English words more
easily if they choose to leave the IME on.
Other changes, improvements, and fixes for PC
- The 3D Builder app has been moved to the “Windows Accessories” folder
on Start.
- We fixed an issue where the display brightness keys on some devices
weren’t working as expected.
- We fixed an issue where the display may stay black after resuming from
sleep if a USB display is connected.
- We fixed an issue where opening an app that uses the camera, such as
the Camera app, would sometimes result in a bugcheck.
- We fixed a crash in the RPCSS service which in turn was resulting in
some Insiders experiencing CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED bugchecks on recent
builds.
- We fixed an issue for touch keyboards sometimes requiring multiple
clicks to invoke on non-touch PCs.
- We fixed an issue where Disk Cleanup would sometimes unexpectedly show
3.99TB worth of Windows Update Cleanup files.
- We’ve updated our logic so if the Microsoft Edge window is narrow and
Cortana has a tip, Cortana will only appear as an icon in the address bar.
If you expand the window, you’ll see the full suggestion as before.
- We’ve updated tooltips for the Microsoft Edge favorites bar to wrap
around for longer website names rather than truncate.
- We fixed an issue where Touchpad settings page via Settings >
Devices > Touchpad wasn’t displaying an icon next to its name in the
navigation pane.
- We fixed an issue that may have resulted in a recent drop in Action
Center reliability for Insiders.
- We’ve updated the Speaker Properties dialog to now allow you to
configure Spatial Audio for different endpoints. If the current playback
device has Spatial Audio enabled, the volume icon in the notification area
will now indicate this.
- We’ve made some tweaks to the backend for how users connect to
devices, such as Miracast displays and other PCs. Use the Connect UI
(WIN+K) as you normally would, and file feedback if you encounter any
issues.
- We’ve removed the rerouting of mspaint.exe to Paint 3D – appreciate
everyone who’s shared feedback on the Paint 3D experience, please keep it
coming.
- We fixed an issue Insiders may have experienced on recent builds where
navigating to OneDrive folders could unexpectedly result in popup saying
there had been a “Catastrophic Error”.
- We fixed an issue that could result in a Visual Studio crash when
trying to open, add, or save a file.
- We fixed an issue resulting in some Insiders using PCs with certain
older chipsets from seeing colored boxes in the place of text and various
other UI in UWPs apps.
- When you use Miracast to a device that supports input (for example, an
Actiontec Screenbeam or Miracast-enabled Windows 10 PC), you will now see
a toast notification to help you enable input (touch, keyboard, etc) on
that device.
- We fixed an issue where the Home and End keys were unexpectedly not
working in certain Settings pages, for example “Apps & features”.
- Fixed an issue that could cause some progress indicators in UWP apps
to appear to wobble or glitch.
Known issues for PC
- Opening Battery settings page via Settings > System > Battery
will crash the Settings app.
- The option to enable the Virtual Touchpad is missing from the taskbar
context menu.
- Cortana’s cross-device scenarios won’t work on this build (including
notification mirroring, missed call, share photos, share directions, low
battery, and find my phone).
- Some websites in Microsoft Edge may unexpectedly show “We can’t reach
this page”. If you encounter this, please try accessing the site from an
InPrivate tab.
- Dragging apps from the all apps list to pin on Start’s tile grid won’t
work. For now, please right-click on the desired app in order to pin it.
- Using CTRL + C to copy in Command Prompt won’t work.
- When projecting to a secondary monitor, if you set the connection to
“Extended”, Explorer.exe may start crashing in a loop. If this happens,
turn off your PC, disconnect the secondary monitor, then restart your PC.
- The touch keyboard button may be unexpectedly missing from the
taskbar. If this happens, open the taskbar context menu, and select “Show
touch keyboard button”.
- You may see an error from Windows Hello saying “Couldn’t turn on the
camera” on the lock screen.
- Brightness changes made via Settings > System > Display will
unexpectedly revert after closing the Settings app. For now, please use
either Action Center, power flyout or brightness keys to change the
brightness
- The list of apps in the Surface Dial “Add an app” page via Settings
> Devices > Wheel may unexpectedly be empty. If that happens, tap the
“Browse for an app” button at the bottom of the screen to pick the desired
app instead.
- Miracast sessions will fail to connect.
- The Netflix app may display a black screen rather than the expected
video content. As a workaround, you can use Microsoft Edge to watch video
content from Netflix.
- On certain hardware types (e.g.: Acer Aspire), the Netflix app crashes
when starting a movie.
- 3rd party UWP apps would crash on devices if the DPI settings on the
machine are >=150% (Generally people do this on high resolution devices
– Surface book etc.)
- If you upgrade from Windows 8.1 directly to Build 15002, all your
store apps are lost during upgrade process but you can go and re-download
all the lost apps from the Store.
- When using Microsoft Edge with Narrator, you may hear “no item in
view” or silence while tabbing or using other navigation commands. You can
use Alt + Tab when this happens to move focus away from and back to the
Edge browser. Narrator will then read as expected.
- Saying “Hey Cortana, play <item> on <AppName>” doesn’t
work immediately after installing the app. Wait 5 minutes for indexing to
begin and try again.
- Tearing off a tab in Microsoft Edge (using your mouse to drag a tab
into it’s own window) will cause your PC to bugcheck (GSOD).
- When clicking on certain elements in desktop (Win32) games, the
game minimizes and cannot be restored.
