By Dona Sarkar and Brandon LeBlancHello Windows Insiders!

Today, we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17746 (RS5) to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring.

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC


  • We fixed an issue where Narrator would incorrectly report some standard combo boxes as “editable combo box” instead of “combo box”.
  • We fixed an issue in Windows Mixed Reality causing motion controllers to need to be re-paired after initial setup before appearing in the headset. If you still experience this, please file feedback in Feedback Hub.
  • We fixed an issue for Japanese and German where when you reset your PC (from Settings > Update & Security > Recovery) the progress percent would be written in the middle of the string rather than at the end.
  • We fixed an issue when using Italian as your display language where the Yes button to confirm file deletion would sometimes disappear when trying to delete a OneDrive file via File Explorer.
  • Thanks for everyone that’s shared feedback about naming the tabs you’ve set aside in Microsoft Edge. We’re evaluating the right approach for this feature and in the meantime, it has been removed from RS5 builds.

Known issues


  • You may experience a bugcheck (GSOD) when logging out of your user profile or shutting down your PC.
  • When you use the Ease of Access Make Text bigger setting, you might see text clipping issues, or find that text is not increasing in size everywhere.
  • Narrator sometimes does not read in the Settings app when you navigate using Tab and arrow keys. Try switching to Narrator Scan mode temporarily. And when you turn Scan mode off again, Narrator will now read when you navigate using Tab and arrows key. Alternatively, you can restart Narrator to work around this issue.

Notable app updates


  • We’re shipping Your Phone app to Insiders in the Release Preview ring, specific to PCs running Windows 10 April 2018 Update (Version 1803, Build 17134). Check it out!
  • If you’re in Skip Ahead we recently flighted version 10.1807.2286.0 of Screen Sketch to you! As mentioned, we’re exploring a new name, so let us know what you think! We’ve also added a delay snip feature, which was one of the top features requests we heard from you. Just click the chevron next to the New button in the app and you’ll now find options to “Snip now”, “Snip in 3 seconds”, and “Snip in 10 seconds”. Oh, and if you have the app open or pinned to your taskbar, you can just right click the icon in the taskbar to get these options, since we’ve added them to the jump list – let us know what you’d like to see next!
No downtime for Hustle-As-A-Service,

Dona <3

Yes that is what you have always mentioned to us...mainly because Jasper and I have VM-s with limited space. So I have no choice but to do the disk cleanup.:D

 

Thanks Daniel for the reminder and so others will know too. 😉

No I have not looked at that update yet. That sounds pretty cool. I will go look at it now! Awesome!

@ I know you can link your phone to the PC but I was not sure if I was going to do that or not.

Nope I didn't notice that..:@
Daniel I was so excited that I got the WI Update that I did not see it until now. Well that will make a big difference then and I'll use that Phone app for sure. I am taking photos all the time.

 

I just got a BSOD on the 64bit build and reported it!

Only because it takes up VM space nothing more.
Are either of you having any issues with the Notification Panel since this update?

When I click on it a blank panel slides out all the way across the screen, then goes away.:S

No. Are you using a VM and if so what software do you run? VMware or VirtualBox?

No, no VM. Installed on a Dell desktop PC.

No issues for me...sorry to hear you are having this problem.
Well done everyone, so that just leaves me, I am having another go now while I am here.
My VM is just going the restart process. It looks like it has worked this time - finally.
That's good news, Jasper. I had issues with my Notification Panel/Action Center not working after the update, so I had to "Reset" this PC. Now, when I get home tonight, I have to reinstall all my apps and re-tweak all of my settings. Not happy about it. :@

 

Glad to hear you finally had success. :)

 
I just keep my VM's very basic so I am hoping I get no probs with anything but there again anything is possible.

I decided to try again with my older VM and guess what? It appears to be going through the initial installation process without any problem so far.
I'm beginning to wonder if the key to this is to not attempt to update on a weekend?

I have had problems in the weeks as well though BUT my other machine has now updated easily so there has to be a reason for it somewhere. Yesterday was just impossible for me.

It's never been an issue for me so I don't think it matters.
