Windows 10 Preview Build 17112
If you are using the Mixed Reality feature in this preview build, there are two issues impacting the usability and performance that you need to be aware of. In fact, you might want to hit the pause button and skip this build. In her article, Dona Sarkar writes, “Windows Mixed Reality runs at a very low frame rate (8-10fps) that could result in some physical discomfort. And there are multiple crashes at startup that will cause Windows Mixed Reality to not work. For Insiders who want to keep Windows Mixed Reality working – you might want to consider hitting pause on taking new Insider Preview builds until these issues are fixed.” If you’re not using Mixed Reality, here is a list of the other changes, improvements, and fixes to expect in this latest build:
We fixed an issue where selecting a notification after taking a screenshot or game clip opened the Xbox app’s home screen instead of opening the screenshot or game clip.We fixed an issue where EFI and Recovery partitions were unexpectedly listed in Defragment and Optimize Drives.We fixed an issue optimizing drives in Defragment and Optimize Drives didn’t work in the last few flights.We fixed an issue resulting in a permanently black window if you dragged a tab out of a Microsoft Edge window, pulled it up to the top edge of the screen, and moved it back down and released it.We fixed an issue where the warning on Windows 10 S when trying to run non-Microsoft Store apps from File Explorer might end up stuck behind the File Explorer window.We fixed an issue where there was some unexpected extra space in the File Explorer navigation pane before the chevron icons to expand/collapse folders.We fixed an issue where if focus was set inside Action Center pressing Esc wouldn’t close the Action Center window.We fixed an issue that could result in ShellExperienceHost periodically waking the device from hibernate if active live tiles were pinned to Start.We fixed an issue where navigating to Settings > System > Focus Assist > “Customize your priority list” could crash Settings.
