Windows 10

Windows 10 build 14926 débarque, quoi de neuf ? pas mal de choses

Microsoft publie une nouvelle construction de Windows 10 Redstone 2. Estampillée Windows 10 build 14926, elle s’adresse aux utilisateurs de l’anneau rapide du programme Insider. Il y a deux versions, l’un pour l’environnement PC et l’autre pour le mobile.

Windows 10 Redstone

Windows 10 build 14926, plusieurs nouveautés

Windows 10 build 14926 propose plusieurs améliorations. Elles ne sont pas nouvelles puisque plusieurs fuites avaient trahies leur existence. L’une d’elle se nomme Snooze. Présente dans le navigateur Microsoft Edge, elle permet d’informer Cortana pour obtenir un rappel d’ouverture d’une page à un moment précis.  Ceci passe par une notification dans le Centre de notification.

La version mobile du système d’exploitation se dote d’une nouvelle page dédiée aux paramètres Wi-Fi.  Microsoft apporte ici un look inspiré de la conception de la déclinaison PC. A ce sujet, la firme souligne

« La nouvelle page des paramètres Wi-Fi est pas encore terminée et nous continuons à l’enrichir de fonctionnalités […] nous avons ajouté la possibilité de se connecter à un réseau WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) » 

Windows 10 build 14926, le préinstallé, une importante évolution

Il y a un important pas en avant concernant le « préinstallé » présent dans Windows 10. A partir de cette version, si vous supprimez des applications qui sont pré-chargées avec Windows 10, elles ne seront plus automatiquement réinstallées lors d’une mise à jour du système. Redmond répond ici à une forte demande de la part de la communauté.

Microsoft s’attaque à un problème connu concernant le code PIN et le Verr Num lors d’une authentification.  Dans les versions stables de Windows 10, il est nécessaire d’activer manuellement le Num Lock avant d’entrer le code PIN.

Enfin cette nouvelle version comprend plusieurs autres améliorations et corrections. Il y a toutefois des bugs non résolus comme le souligne le fichier de version.

Other improvements and fixes for PC

  • We fixed the issue causing Adobe Acrobat Reader to crash when you try to launch it.
  • We fixed the issue causing the Settings app to crash when navigating to Settings > Personalization.
  • We fixed an issue where Windows icons and text are not rendered correctly on some devices with Intel Atom (Clovertrail) processors.
  • We’ve improved scaling for full screen games where the aspect ratio doesn’t match the native display resolution, for example, when playing Counter Strike: Global Offensive using a 4:3 stretched resolution.
  • We fixed the issue where some people would experience a bugcheck (bluescreen) after plugging/unplugging certain types of Kindles such as the Paperwhite and Voyage.
  • This build improves the performance on websites with changes to large numbers of HTML Elements containing text by improving spellchecker efficiency. This results in substantially improved performance on websites like TweetDeck.
  • We have addressed the largest cause of reliability issues in Microsoft Edge running on Insider Preview builds. This should improve reliability on major websites such as Facebook and Outlook.com.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in certain links (for example, Facebook) displaying a default favicon in the Microsoft Edge Tab, rather than the logo intended by the website.
  • We fixed an issue where the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar might show full bars when connected to a Wi-Fi network with low signal.
  • We have fixed the issue which prevented the wireless network adapter in Surface Pro 1 and Surface Pro 2 devices from working. This also fixes the issue with the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows not working. and other wireless network adapters from third-parties such as D-Link.
  • We fixed an issue where File Explorer’s “Open Command window here” context menu option was opening set to the C:WindowsSystem32 path, rather than the desired directory.
  • We fixed an issue potentially resulting in the taskbar no longer auto-hiding when a full screen window has focus (for example, when watching videos, gaming, or when using Remote Desktop). Note: If there’s an app that is asking for attention, it’s by design that the taskbar won’t hide (so you can see that there’s something trying to notify you).

Other improvements and fixes for Mobile

  • We fixed a scaling issue on devices such as the Lumia 635, 636, or 638 where the bottom of certain apps, like Messaging and Maps, would get cut off and rendered off screen.
  • We heard you and we have addressed the largest cause of reliability issues in Microsoft Edge running on Insider Preview builds. This should improve reliability on major websites such as Facebook and Outlook.com.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in the sound of key presses and lock/unlock being barely audible when the phone was using a moderate volume.
  • We fixed an issue where, if Quiet Hours had been turned on, banner notifications might not start appearing again until Action Center was opened or an interactive notification popped up and was dismissed.
  • We fixed an issue where Cortana would crash when trying to open Reminders page.
  • We have improved the reliability of VPN Settings page via Settings > Network & wireless > VPN.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in the thumbnail for portrait videos displaying with an incorrect aspect ratio in the Photos app when panning through the Camera Roll.

 Known issues for PC

  • While using Narrator and Groove Music, if you navigate to the progress bar while a song is playing then Narrator will continually speak the progress of the song e.g. update with the current time of the progress bar every second. The result is you will be unable to listen to the song or hear any other control you navigate to.
  • You may experience a black screen when signing out and switching to another user account and will be unable to log in to that account. A reboot of your PC should allow you to log in to that account.
  • Oracle VM VirtualBox will crash on launch after upgrading to this build.
  • Optional components may not work after upgrading to this build. To get it working again, go to “Turn Windows features on or off”, scroll down and check the right optional component and click ok.  After a reboot, the optional component will be enabled again.
  • After updating to this build, Windows Calculator may not work. To get Calculator working again, go to the Store and re-download/install Calculator.
  • For keyboard users, using tab to navigate the Settings app will not work in this build. The arrow keys should work as a temporary workaround.

 Known issues for Mobile

  • Some devices such as the Lumia 650 will fail to install this build with Error 0x80188308. We are currently investigating this issue.
  • Action Center no longer closes if you swipe up on the empty space (area of Action Center that doesn’t show any notifications).
  • Using your phone as a mobile hotspot will work the first time but subsequent attempts to use the feature will result in the inability to enable the hotspot until the phone is rebooted.
