Build 16179 was the 3th Insider
Preview build of Windows 10 Fall Creator Update. It was released on APR 19,
2017. This arrived via "RS3" (RedStone3) development
branch.
Revert VM: Continuing our theme of simplifying
Hyper-V for developers on Windows 10, we’re introducing automatic
checkpoints so that you’ll always be able to undo a mistake in your
virtual machine – you can now always revert to the last time you started a
virtual machine.
Introducing Power Throttling: Power Throttling was one of
those experiments, and showed to have up to 11% savings in CPU power
consumption for some of the most strenuous use cases.
Changes,
improvements, and fixes
- We fixed the
issue causing apps that use the Desktop Bridge (“Centennial”) from the
Store such as Slack and Evernote will cause your PC to bugcheck (GSOD)
when launched with a “kmode exception not handled” in ntfs.sys error.
- We fixed an
issue where adding Hindi to your language list and downloading the
on-demand language resources would result in Microsoft Edge crashing on
launch and file search returning no results via Cortana or Windows
Explorer.
- We fixed an
issue where desktop icons would sometimes move around unexpectedly when
“Auto arrange icons” was set to On and “Align icons to grid” was set to
Off.
- The existing
Group Policy to disable the lock screen is now available for those on the
Pro edition of Windows 10. Appreciate all who shared feedback on the
subject. Note, the Group Policy text has not yet been updated to
incorporate this change, that will happen with a later flight.
- We fixed a
rendering issue from previous flights where specific multi-monitor and
projection configurations could fail depending on the hardware used. This
could have impacted all Surface (Surface Book, Surface Pro, etc.) devices
as well as other devices using similar chipsets. Another symptom may have
been to see screen flickering and potentially being logged out when any
screen mode change occurred.
- We fixed an
issue resulting in the location icon being continually on in the taskbar after
the first time the Action Center was opened if the night light quick
action was visible.
Known issues
- Some Insiders
have reported seeing this error “Some updates were cancelled.
- Double-clicking
on the Windows Defender icon in the notification area does not open
Windows Defender. Right-clicking on the icon and choosing open will open
Windows Defender.
- Surface 3
devices fail to update to new builds if a SD memory card is inserted. The
updated drivers for the Surface 3 that fix this issue have not yet been
published to Windows Update.
- Pressing F12
to open the Developer Tools in Microsoft Edge while F12 is open and
focused may not return focus to the tab F12 is opened against, and
vice-versa.
- exe will crash
and restart if you tap any of the apps listed in the Windows Ink
Workspace’s Recent Apps section.
- Insiders who
use Simplified Chinese IMEs or the Traditional Chinese Changjie or Quick
IME to input text will find that the candidate window doesn’t appear when
typing into certain apps. If you press space, the first candidate will be
finalized. Using the number keys will not finalize any other candidate.
- Navigating to
Settings > Update & security > Windows Update may crash Settings
app.
- The “Save”
dialog appears to be broken in several desktop (Win32) apps. The team is
investigating. This will break things such as Chinese IME, etc.
- Counter Strike
Global Offensive will hang or freeze during game play.
- Localized apps
on localized x64 Windows 10 Insider Preview builds will not work.
