Known bugs
general
- Work is in progress to correct an issue that causes some Surface Pro Xs to throw a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR error.
- They are working on a fix for an issue that is causing some devices to check errors with the DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error when trying to update to a recent build.
Beginning
- In some cases, you won’t be able to enter text when using Start Search on the Taskbar. If this happens to you, press WIN + R to open the Run dialog and then close it.
- System does not appear when right-clicking the Start button (WIN + X).
Taskbar
- The taskbar will sometimes flicker when switching between different input methods.
- Investigating an issue where some icons in the toolbar are being cut off by the “show hidden icons” button and are not displayed centered when using multiple monitors.
Search
- After clicking the Search icon on the taskbar, the Search panel may not open. If this happens, restart the process of the “Windows Explorer” and reopen the search panel.
- The search panel may appear black and not display any content below the search box.
File Browser
- Right-clicking on OneDrive files will cause the context menu to disappear unexpectedly when hovering over options that display sub-menus such as “Open with.”
Widgets
- The widget board may appear empty. To avoid the problem, we can log out and then log in again.
- Widgets may be displayed in the wrong size on external monitors. If you run into this problem, you can start the widgets through the button or through WIN + W and then starting it on secondary monitors.
Windows Sandbox
- We are investigating an issue where some Insiders cannot run Windows Sandbox in this build.
Microsoft Store
- Work continues to improve the relevance of searches in the Store.
