Microsoft: Aggiornamento Windows 10 (PC / Mobile) Insider Preview (Build 14915)

E' disponibile il download della Build 14915 di Windows 10 (PC / Mobile) Insider Preview per i Windows Insiders, pronti a testarla (Microsoft-Blog compreso).

Nelle prime Build del nuovo ramo di sviluppo ci saranno poche novità in quanto Microsoft si concentra dapprima sul OneCore, il cuore di Windows condiviso tra PC, Mobile, Tablet, IoT, HoloLens e Xbox con diverse modifiche che potrebbero portare conseguenti bug, quindi il consiglio è di provare queste Preview sempre su Macchine Virtuali o PC non di uso quotidiano o lavorativo).

Novità (PC):

• Ottimizzazione Download Aggiornamenti: in Windows 10 November Update è stata introdotta la funzionalità che permette di scaricare e dare la possibilità di condividere gli aggiornamenti direttamente dalla Rete Locale e su Internet. Ora è stata ulteriormente ottimizzata e quindi per scaricare gli aggiornamenti delle App e Sistema Operativo la funzionalità cercherà nei PC più vicini sulla Rete Locale o su Internet per quei PC che hanno l'ottimizzazione della consegna abilitata, per poi scaricare piccole parti dell'aggiornamento dai PC più veloci. Per capire meglio, non viene più scaricato l'intero file di aggiornamento da un PC ma viene diviso e quindi, per esempio, per scaricare un aggiornamento le parti vengono prese da 10 PC valutati più veloci e più affidabili. La valutazione viene effettuata in base a vari criteri, come l'utilizzo del disco, l'uso di Reti Mobile, durata della batteria e altre attività di Rete, e in più grazie alle misure di sicurezza su Windows Update e Windows Store vengono verificate sempre le fonti da cui vengono presi le parti degli aggiornamenti. Seguendo questi criteri e tenendo conto dei PC con condizioni impegnative di Rete, viene ulteriormente migliorata l'esperienza e il download. La funzionalità è attivata di default e da quando è stata introdotta molti utenti la utilizzano con la conseguente riduzione del 30-50% dell'utilizzo della larghezza di banda per mantenere aggiornati i PC nella stessa Rete Locale.

Fix e Miglioramenti (PC):

• We fixed the issue with being unable to use the power button on the Start menu.
• We fixed the issue causing Cortana’s text to speech capabilities to not work. Cortana should be able to read text messages out loud for you, tell jokes, sing, or give verbal prompts as expected.
• We fixed the issue causing the Settings app to crash on certain editions of Windows 10 when navigating to different settings pages due to a missing .dll file.
• We made a number of improvements to translations, including fixing an issue in Windows Update where it would say “your phone is up to date” in French when confirming that your PC was up to date.
• Changing functionality via Settings > Update & security > Windows Insider Program such as your ring settings should now work again on this build.
• We fixed a compatibility issue from a recent platform change that causes apps such as Yahoo Mail, Trivia Crack, Google and the Skype Translator Preview app to crash.
• We fixed an issue resulting in some Insiders experiencing a delay in Mail notification toasts appearing.
• We fixed an issue where the “Open with” dialog’s “Look for another app on this PC” link wasn’t working if the dialog appeared after using the “Run” dialog to open a file with an unassociated file type.
• We have updated the Connect flyout so that the clickable area for each device listed now spans across the full width of the flyout.
• We fixed an issue where if a Chinese Input Method Editor is active it could result in logging in to not succeed after device goes into and is woken up from Connected Standby.
• We fixed an issue where for certain websites in Microsoft Edge, using CTRL + A to select all text and then copying it and trying to paste it into Notepad wouldn’t paste anything.
• We fixed an issue where importing favorites into Microsoft Edge from Internet Explorer would fail if the Favorites folder had been redirected to another folder, for example “C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Favorites”.

Fix e Miglioramenti (Mobile):

• We fixed the issue causing apps to get stuck in a pending state if you move apps between a SD card and internal storage (either direction).
• We fixed the issue causing Cortana’s text to speech capabilities to not work. Cortana should be able to read text messages out loud for you, tell jokes, sing, or give verbal prompts as expected.
• Changing functionality via Settings > Update & security > Windows Insider Program such as your ring settings should now work again on this build.
• We fixed a compatibility issue from a recent platform change that causes apps such as Yahoo Mail, Trivia Crack, Google and the Skype Translator Preview app to crash.
• We made a number of improvements to translations, including fixing an issue with Store app install notifications, where the wrong verb was used in German when letting you know to check out the app.
• We have updated “You need to fix your MSA” notification toast logic, so it will no longer notify you multiple times in quick succession.
• We fixed an issue where examining Microsoft Edge’s advanced settings would result in subsequent downloads in Edge saving to the default locations, rather the preferred locations set under Settings > System > Storage.
• We fixed an issue for Continuum-capable devices that could result in being temporarily unable to connect to a previously paired Windows 10 PC.
• We have updated the settings for sounds so that .mp3 or .wma files downloaded straight from OneDrive or copied from File Explorer to the phone’s Ringtones folder will now display automatically in the list of available sounds for ringtones, alarms and notifications.

Bug (PC):

• Adobe Acrobat Reader crashes when you try to launch it.
• You may experience a black screen when signing out and switching to another user account and will be unable to log in to that account. A reboot of your PC should allow you to log in to that account.
