Windows 10: Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20226.1000 (rs_prerelease) - Sept. 30

Brink · Sep 30, 2020

Hello Windows Insiders, today weâre releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20226 to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.

Whatâs new in Build 20226

Storage health monitoring to protect user data

Attempting to recover data after drive failure is both frustrating and expensive. This feature is designed to detect hardware abnormalities for NVMe SSDs and notify users with enough time to act. It is strongly recommended that users immediately back up their data after receiving a notification.

Clicking on the notification or navigating to the drive properties page in Storage Settings (Settings -> System -> Storage -> Manage disks and volumes -> Properties) will provide additional details.

Other updates for Insiders

New Your Phone settings experience for seamless device management within the app

The Your Phone team is excited to rollout a new user experience for managing your linked devices with the app. We are happy to announce with this new settings page, you can now link a new device, remove an old device, and switch between active devices all easily within the app. Weâve also made visual improvements to displaying your device list. Now each device is identifiable on its own device card with your personally syncâd wallpaper.

This new user experience will be gradually rolling out to Insiders, so it may take some time to show up in the Your Phone app. Give this feature a try and continue to provide feedback within the Your Phone app under Settings > Help & Feedback > Send Feedback.

Updates for developers

The Windows SDK is now flighting continuously with the Dev Channel. Whenever a new OS build is flighted to the Dev Channel, the corresponding SDK will also be flighted. You can always install the latest Insider SDK from aka.ms/InsiderSDK. SDK flights will be archived in Flight Hub along with OS flights.

Windows 10 SDK Preview Build 20226 now available - September 30

Changes and Improvements

Weâre starting to roll out a change that will turn off theme syncing. As part of that, you will no longer see âThemeâ as an option in Sync your settings, and changes made to your background will not sync across device. If you have been using theme synchronization, when setting up a new PC or account there will be a one-time download of the last saved synchronized desktop background to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\WallpaperBackup if you need to access it.

Thanks for your patience â after making some reliability improvement, weâre re-enabling the ability for Notepad windows to persist update and restarts (if âRestart appsâ is enabled in Sign-in Settings).

When you have a PWA installed from Microsoft Edge, Task Manager will now correctly display it under Applications instead of Background Processes in the Processes tab, and will show the app icon associated with the PWA.

Weâre updating File Explorer so that if you right-click on a zipped OneDrive file that was set to online-only, youâll now see an Extract All option, same as if the file was available locally on the PC.

Weâre updating the new DNS options in settings to make a statis DNS required when entering a static IP, and to make gateway not a required field.

Weâre updating the NâKo keyboard layout so that pressing Shift + 6 will now insert ߾ (U+07FE ) and pressing Shift + 7 will now insert ߿ (U+07FF).

Fixes

Weâve resolved an issue resulting in Settings crashing for some Insiders when opening Manage Disks and Volumes.

We fixed an issue affecting Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 distros where users can receive the error: âThe remote procedure call failedâ on startup. See this GitHub issue for more details.

We fixed an issue where activating Speech Recognition under Ease of Access in Settings was unexpectedly requiring admin permissions.

We fixed an issue where after turning off âDrop shadows for icon labels on the desktopâ, and opening Task View, the drop shadows would unexpectedly reappear.

We fixed an issue where pressing F7 in the File Explorer search box would bring up a dialog asking to enable caret browsing.

We fixed an issue impacting explorer.exe reliability for some Insiders in the last few flights.

We fixed an issue where some of the apps in the Windows Accessories folder in Startâs all apps list, would unexpectedly display the name Windows Accessories when pinned to the Start menu in recent builds.

We fixed an issue impacting taskbar performance and reliability on 2-in-1 convertible devices.

We fixed a few issues impacting Action Center reliability.

We fixed a couple of issues impacting Settings reliability.

We fixed an issue where the Settings icon was unexpectedly small when pinned to the Start menu and using the small tile size.

We fixed an issue in Touchpad Settings where the header for the Taps section was unexpectedly missing in the last few flights.

We fixed an issue with Meet Now resulting in the flyout crashing if you pressed the Esc key while it was open.

We fixed an issue that if Meet Now was opened before opening a jumplist from the taskbar, then ShellExperienceHost would crash.

Weâve made some fixes to improve accessibility of the Meet Now flyout, including updating the tab order, marking the image so itâs not read out by Narrator, adjusting the contrast of the buttons, making the arrow keys navigate between the buttons, and fixing an issue where focus wasnât returning to the previous location in the taskbar after pressing the Esc key.

We fixed an issue from the last few flights resulting in some apps failing to install, citing a lack of internet connectivity, when IPV6 was enabled.

We fixed an issue with the new DNS options in Network Settings where switching back from a custom DNS to automatic would result in a loss of connectivity.

We fixed an issue resulting in not being able to insert the full-width question mark when typing with the Pinyin IME in recent builds.

We fixed an issue that could result in the Japanese IME crashing on initialization.

We fixed two issues with the Bopomofo IME impacting Shift and Ctrl key usage in apps when the IME was active.

We fixed an issue with the Turkish one-handed touch keyboard layout, where it was missing keys for Ã¼ and Ã¶.

We fixed an issue when using the Japanese touch keyboard layout that could result in the spacebar UI appearing stuck in a pressed state.

Known issues

Weâre looking into reports of the update process hanging for extended periods of time when attempting to install a new build.

Weâre working on a fix to enable live preview for pinned site tabs.

Weâre working on enabling the new taskbar experience for existing pinned sites. In the meantime, you can unpin the site from the taskbar, remove it from the edge://apps page, and then re-pin the site.

Weâre working on a fix for an issue where some Office applications crashing or missing after updating to a new build.

Weâre working on a fix for an issue causing some devices experiencing a KMODE_EXCEPTION bugcheck when using certain virtualization technologies.

Weâre working on a fix where some devices are experiencing a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION bugcheck.

Weâre investigating a bug where the vEthernet adapter in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 distros becomes disconnected after a period of use. For full details please follow this GitHub thread.

Weâre working on a fix for an issue where after taking this build some users receive a Compatibility Assistant notification that âMicrosoft Office is no longer availableâ. Despite the notification, Office should still be there and working fine.
