Yesterday Microsoft released a new build of Windows 10 Redstone or Windows 10 Aniversary Edition as it will be known offically. It has been a while since the last release and this is build 14352. The changes in this build are mainly improvements to Cortana and Windows Ink.
Cortana can now pay music from Groove’s music catalog so if you have a Groove Music Pass you can ask Cortana to play artists, genre, playlists or songs. Sadly this is US English only at the moment, time to change those region controls! You can say things like “Hey Cortana, play Pink Floyd”
Other changes to Cortana can now set a timer so you can say things like “Hey Cortana, set a timer for 10 minutes” or “Hey Cortana, cancel my timer”.
Windows Ink improvements include the ability to create Cortana reminders from your notes and you can ink or type phone numbers, emails address or URLS and launch Microsoft Edge from a note.
Other changes include a compass on the Windows Ink ruler, along with our Ink improvements:
Sketchpad will now dismiss if you tap Esc or Windows key combinations (for example, Win + S or Win + D).
We’ve updated the export icon to be the more familiar floppy disk icon for saving your sketch.
We’ve polished the experience of opening Sketchpad when many ink strokes are present on the canvas.
We fixed an issue that resulted in Sketchpad sometimes needing to be tapped twice before it would launch from the Windows Ink Workspace flyout.
Sketchpad and Screen Sketch will now default to touch inking ON for non-pen devices. They will also remember the state of the button when you relaunch Windows Ink Workspace.
Going forward from Build 14252, the Windows Ink Workspace icon state (on or off) on the taskbar will be preserved after upgrading.
We have updated Sticky Notes to show a small sticky note icon next to the app name when hovering over the app in the taskbar or in Task View.
The Feedback Hub now shows Microsoft responses, the Gaming Bar has improved full screen support and a new File Explorer icon.
The build is available now for Windows Insiders on the fast ring and here is the list of fixes and know issues:
Here’s what’s fixed for PC
Feedback Hub should now be localized properly. If you install a different language, you will need to relaunch Feedback Hub to have it show in that language.
We fixed the issue with Intel HD Graphics 3000 or Intel HD Graphics 2000 GPUs causing rendering issues and instability with Microsoft Edge. If you mitigated this issue by using software rendering instead of GPU rendering, you can go back to GPU rendering.
Starting with this build, pinned tabs in Microsoft Edge should no longer get lost after updating to a new Insider Preview build.
We fixed an issue causing Surface Books to bugcheck (bluescreen) when using Windows Hello.
We fixed an issue that caused the Brightness Quick Action to appear missing.
This build includes fixes for Precision Touchpads. We have Improved reliability of using gestures to switch between virtual desktops. We also improved touchpad responsiveness for pans and two finger taps. We also fixed an issue where swiping on the touchpad might not wake the device once it was in Connected Standby state.
We fixed an issue resulting in maximized UWP apps slightly overlapping the taskbar if taskbar was positioned on top.
We fixed an issue in the Action Center where it wouldn’t show the hover state when moving your mouse over notifications if a notification had been expanded.
We fixed an issue resulting in missing icons in Action Center when using Light mode.
We fixed an issue resulting in “Restart Required” continuing to show in Action Center after restart has already occurred.
Increased hit target of X icon for notifications in Action Center, to make them easier to dismiss.
We fixed a timing issue where the Bluetooth Quick Action might appear (with state ON) for a device with no Bluetooth.
We fixed an issue where using Esc to exit a full screen video with Microsoft Edge maximized would result in the window becoming unmaximized.
We fixed an issue where playing mp4s from a network share in the Movies & TV app would sometimes show an “MF_E_UNSUPPORTED_BYTESTREAM_TYPE” error.
We fixed an issue that resulted in the volume mixer slider for system sounds getting reset to 100% after receiving a notification or altering master volume.
Update notifications to now deep link straight to Update History, rather than the Windows Update landing page in the Settings app.
Updated the Settings app so now the CTRL + E keyboard shortcut will set focus to the Settings search box.
We fixed an issue where theme settings were not roaming correctly to other PCs with the same Microsoft account.
Fixed an issue resulting in the All apps list in Start being blank for certain languages
We updated the Action Center icon to now hide unread notification count when the taskbar is using small icons, as there’s not enough space to display it.
Fixed an issue with Command Prompt where it wasn’t keeping the current line in view after resizing the window.
We fixed an issue that resulted in the User Account Control dialog sometimes appearing behind other windows instead of in the forefront.
We fixed an issue resulting in the Lock screen sometimes not showing the Caps lock warning when Caps lock was on.
Known issues for PC
Previously installed extensions for Microsoft Edge may not work for around 15 minutes after your first sign-in. A work around for this is to manually re-install each extension from the Store.
In some cases, the new Cortana features highlighted above may not work. Restarting your PC should fix the issue and get the features working.
Using the keyboard to navigate in certain Store apps like Netflix or Tweetium does not work. You will need to use your mouse.
