  2. Wi-Fi Captive Portal: durante la connessione ad un Wi-Fi Hotspot, OOBE si sposterà in una pagina browser e permettere all'utente di avere accesso alla connessione. Sono stati aggiunti anche alcuni aggiornamenti che consentono di configurare qualche proprietà base della connessione Wi-Fi durante la OOBE;

  • Luce blu diventa Luce notturna: per avere un'idea più chiara di questa impostazione, è stata rinominata in "Luce notturna". Sono stati apportati alcuni miglioramenti tra cui la possibilità di avere un'anteprima dell'impostazione prima di applicare la modifica; 

  • Ridimensionamento della finestra Hyper-V: è possibile ridimensionare velocemente la finestra della macchina virtuale mentre il sistema operativo, contenuto all'interno, aggiusta automaticamente la risoluzione. Per fare ciò, è necessario essere connessi alla macchina virtuale e in modalità sessione avanzata;


  • Barra progresso download delle App e Giochi dello Store nel Centro operativo: con la Build 15007 gli sviluppatori possono inviare delle notifiche toast con un indicatore di stato per mostrare il progresso, come ad esempio il download. Da questa build è possibile verificare l'avanzamento del download delle App e Giochi dello Store nel Centro operativo;

  • Miglioramento del Troubleshooting: la sezione per la risoluzione dei problemi del Pannello di Controllo è stata spostata nelle Impostazioni;


  • Miglioramento dei DPI alti per i professionisti IT: con la Build 15002 è stata l'opzione che permette a Windows di forzare il ridimensionamento dei DPI in quanto alcune applicazione potrebbero effettuare un rendering sfocato. Questo funziona solo nelle App che utilizzano GDI. Da questa build è possibile abilitarla o disabilitarla anche da Windows ADK per professionisti IT.

Bug:
  • IMPORTANT: The download progress indicator shown when downloading this build is currently broken under Settings > Update & security > Windows Update. It may look like you’re getting stuck at 0% or at other percentages. Ignore the indicator and be patient. The build should download fine and the installation should kick off.
  • After updating to this build, nonstop exceptions in the Spectrum.exe service may occur causing PCs to lose audio, disk I/O usage to become very high, and apps like Microsoft Edge to become unresponsive when doing certain actions such as opening Settings. As a workaround to get out of this state, you can delete C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Spectrum\PersistedSpatialAnchors and reboot.
  • Some Windows Insiders may have had trouble connecting to certain Google sites due to an implementation of a new security model being rolled out to further enhance user security. The team is working on a resolution. In the meantime, users can access these sites from an InPrivate tab.
  • Extensions in Microsoft Edge do not work in this build. Extensions may appear to load but will not function as expected. This issue should be fixed in the next Insider release build we release. If you depend on extensions in Microsoft Edge, we recommend skipping this build. You can pause Insider Preview builds by going to Settings > Updates & security > Windows Insider Program, clicking on “Stop Insider Preview builds”, and choosing “Pause updates for a bit”.
  • Microsoft Edge F12 tools may intermittently crash, hang, and fail to accept inputs.
  • Microsoft Edge’s “Inspect Element” and “View Source” options don’t correctly launch to the DOM Explorer and Debugger, respectively.
  • Windows Insiders will unexpectedly see a “Mixed Reality” entry on the main page of Settings.
  • Some captive portal Wi-Fi networks may fail to connect during OOBE. If a captive portal network is using DNS hijacking to redirect to a secure site, the captive portal app will crash and the user cannot clear the portal.
  • Yes/No voice commands in the Wi-Fi portion of OOBE are currently failing.
  • Quicken 2016 will fail to run with an error stating .NET 4.6.1 is not installed. For Insiders familiar with Registry Editor, there is an optional workaround. Take ownership of the following registry keys and edit the “version” value to be 4.6.XXXXX instead of 4.7.XXXXX:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full
Note: Please take caution when editing the registry. Changing the wrong value can have unexpected and undesirable results.
  • 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.
  • Some Tencent apps and games may crash or work incorrectly on this build.
  • Under Settings > Update & security > Windows Update you might see the text “Some Settings are managed by your organization” even though your PC isn’t being managed by an organization. This is a bug caused by an updated flight configuration setting for Insider Preview builds and does not mean your PC is being managed by anyone.
  • On some PCs, audio stops working sporadically with ‘device in use’ error”. We are investigating. Restarting the audio service may fix things for a bit.
  • The Action Center may sometimes appear blank and transparent without color. If you encounter this, try moving the taskbar to a different location on screen.
  • ADDED: For the update to Build 15019, there have been two issues surrounding Windows Update that have arise: 1.) You may see an error such as 0xC1900401, or a note that the build is not yet available for your device 2.) Your PC scans and finds Build 15019, but it appears to hang on “Initializing…” and doesn’t appear to begin downloading the build.
  • Popular games may experience crashes or black screens when trying to load due to a platform issue.
  • When clicking on certain elements in desktop (Win32) games, the game minimizes and cannot be restored.
  • Game Mode is enabled system wide by default, however, the ON/OFF toggle in Settings will incorrectly show it as being OFF until the user manually toggles the Setting to ON which will cause it to update and accurately display the status of Game Mode system wide.
  • Broadcasting to Beam via the Game bar currently requires a number of Privacy settings to be changed.
  • Certain hardware configurations may cause the broadcast live review window in the Game bar to flash Green while you are Broadcasting. This does not affect the quality of your broadcast and is only visible to the Broadcaster.
