Windows 10: Here’s what’s fixed and broken in Windows 10 Build 18277 for Insiders

Microsoft today released a new Windows 10 build 18277 for Insiders enrolled in the Fast and Skip Ahead Ring. The latest build comes from the development branch “19H1” which is due to release in the Spring of 2019.

The latest build comes with new features like Focus Assist, Action Center improvements with the inclusion of a brightness slider and more. There are also many bug fixes which Microsoft have fixed for issues reported from earlier flights. Below is the full list of what’s fixed:

What’s Fixed:

• An issue causing WSL to not work in Build 18272 has now been fixed.
• Issue resulting in text not rendering on the screen have large number of OTF fonts has now been fixed.
• In previous flights the Task view failed to show the + button under New Desktop. This issue has now been fixed in the latest flight.
• An issue resulting in Timeline crashing explorer.exe if users pressed ALT+F4 has now been fixed.
• An issue significantly impacting Start menu reliability in recent builds when pinning, unpinning, or uninstalling apps has now been fixed.
• Microsoft fixed an issue where the expected context menu wouldn’t appear after right-clicking on a folder in File Explorer from a network location.
• An issue resulting in the home page of Settings not showing the scrollbar in recent flights has now been fixed.
• An issue resulting in Settings crashing sometimes in recent flights when going to Sign-in Settings has now been fixed.
• An issue where playing videos might unexpectedly show a few frames in the wrong orientation when maximizing the window after changing the orientation of the screen has now been fixed.
• Microsoft fixed an issue impacting Emoji Panel reliability in recent flights.
• An issue resulting in running “start .” from Command Prompt failing in the previous flight with an access denied error has now been fixed.
• An issue reported by some Insiders experiencing bug checks (green screens) with the error KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED in the previous flight has now been fixed.
• Windows Insider Team fixed an issue where certain devices might hit a bug check (GSOD) when shutting down or when switching from a Microsoft account to a local admin account.

As is expected, there are still some known issues which need to be taken care before updating to the latest build.

What’s Broken:

• Users might notice the update status cycling between Getting Things Ready, Downloading, and Installing shows error 0x8024200d caused by a failed express package download. This should be fixed in upcoming flights.
• PDFs opened in Microsoft Edge may not display correctly.
• Some users are experiencing blue screens if the PC is set up to dual boot. As a temporary workaround users are advised to disable dual boot for now till the issue is fixed in next flights.
• The hyperlink colors need to be refined in Dark Mode in Sticky Notes if the Insights are enabled.
• Settings page might experience crashes after changing the account password or PIN, temporary workaround is to use the CTRL + ALT + DEL method to change the password.

We recommend users to go through the list of known issues before installing the latest build on their PCs. You can get the latest Windows 10 build 18277 by going to Settings > Windows Update > Check for Update.

from Gabe Aul today : http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwi...changes-to-windows-10-insider-preview-builds/

well from the sounds of it, anyone who UPGRADED to windows 10 Preview wont have to do anything as it already has your Serial win 7/8.1 key logged.

The crux of it is this:

• Do you want to continue as a Windows Insider and keep getting preview builds after 7/29?
• Or do you want to upgrade your Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 system that has been getting Windows 10 Insider Preview builds to the 7/29 release and stop being an Insider?

“I want to continue as a Windows Insider!” If you want to continue as a Windows Insider past 7/29 there is nothing you need to do. You’re already opted in and receiving builds in the Fast or Slow ring depending upon your selection. This is prerelease software and is activated with a prerelease key. Each individual build will expire after a time, but you’ll continue to receive new builds so by the time an older prerelease build expires you’ll have received a new one. Since we’re continuing the Windows Insider Program you’ll be able to continue receiving builds and those builds will continue to be activated under the terms of the Windows Insider Program. We provide ISOs for these builds for recovery from any significant problems, but they are still pre-release software. As part of the program we’ll upgrade Insiders to what is for all intents and purposes the same build as what other customers will get on 7/29, but that will be just another build for Insiders, and those who stay in the program will simply get the next build after as well.

“I want to opt out of the Windows Insider Program on 7/29.” If you decide to opt-out of the program and upgrade to the 7/29 build you will be subject to exactly the same terms and conditions that govern the offer* that was extended to all Genuine Windows 7 and 8.1 customers. This is not a path to attain a license for Windows XP or Windows Vista systems. If your system upgraded from a Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 license it will remain activated, but if not, you will be required to roll back to your previous OS version or acquire a new Windows 10 license. If you do not roll back or acquire a new license the build will eventually expire.

It is our hope that the vast majority of Windows Insiders who have been with us since we announced the program last year will continue forward, and it was in that light that we authored the blog post about upcoming changes to the program. I regret that this caused confusion about who was or was not eligible for the Windows 10 upgrade offer, but hope that this helps to clarify.

Thanks,
g

Wow, sounds like those who are bandwidth limited could be screwed, or find a internet cafe or library to get the needed ISO.
