Windows 10 Redstone 4 Build 17107 est disponible, quoi de neuf ?

Microsoft propose une nouvelle construction de la prochaine version de Windows 10. Windows 10 Redstone 4 Build 17107 est disponible en téléchargement.

Publié au travers de l’anneau rapide du programme Insider, cette nouvelle construction se concentre sur la correction de bugs et l’amélioration de l’expérience utilisateur. L’équipe de développement ne propose pas de changements majeures. Nous avons cependant des améliorations autour du services Windows Update, quelques optimisations et des correctifs dits « généraux ».

Windows 10 Redstone 4 et Windows Update

Le service Windows Update a été modifié afin de pouvoir travailler en tache de fond sans un arrêt de la machine. En clair une modification a été apportée pour empêcher le PC de se mettre en veille lorsque vous ne l’utilisez pas et que Windows Update est en fonctionnement. Sur ce point, Redmond explique

« Lorsque Windows Update analyse, télécharge et installe des mises à jour sur un PC (connecté au secteur), il empêche le PC de se mettre en veille lorsqu’il n’est pas utilisé. Cette période de 2 heures lors de la réception d’une mise à jour donne plus de temps à Windows Update plus assurer une maintenance réussie »

Il y a aussi plusieurs petits changements mais aussi des problèmes connus, et non corrigé. Ceci explique son déploiement dans le cadre de l’anneau rapide et non lent du programme Insider. A noter que si vous avez opté pour l’option « Skip Ahead » vous ne recevrez pas cette version. Pourquoi ? La branche de développement de Redstone 5 a été mise en place il y a quelques jours avec la publication de la première build. Elle a donné naissance à la branche rs-prerelease.

Windows 10 Redstone 4 devrait atteindre en mars le statut de RTM. Cela permettra à Microsoft de débuter en avril le déploiement par étape de la version finale, Windows 10 v1803.

Windows 10 Redstone 4 build 17107, note de version

Keeping PCs Up-to-date: In an effort to prevent PCs from becoming out of date, we are introducing a change in behavior to Windows Update that is designed to be more proactive at keeping PCs updated. In RS4, now when Windows Update scans, downloads, and installs on a PC with AC power – it will prevent the PC from going to sleep when it is not in active use, for up to 2 hours when receiving an update in order to give Windows Update more opportunity to succeed. If you are not seeing this new behavior, let us know by sending in feedback via Feedback Hub.

General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC

We fixed an issue where Settings would crash when you tried to open Themes.
We fixed an issue where the Settings tile didn’t have a name if you pinned it to Start.
We’ve updated About Settings to include at a glance entries for the two new Windows Defender pillars (Account Protection and Device Security).
We fixed a typo in Storage Sense Settings.
We fixed an issue resulting in all dropdowns in Settings appearing blank until clicked.
We fixed an issue that could result in Settings crashing after having navigated to and left Sound Settings.
We fixed an issue where closing certain apps after using in-app search could result in them hanging on the splash screen the next time they were launched.
We fixed an issue where plugging in an external optical drive (DVD) will cause an Explorer.exe crash.
We fixed an issue resulting in the hamburger button in Windows Defender overlapping the home button.
We fixed an issue where certain games using Easy Anti Cheat could result in the system experiencing a bugcheck (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED).
We fixed an issue where we had observed seeing longer-than-normal delays during install at the 88% mark. Some delays were as long as 90 minutes before moving forward.
We fixed an issue resulting in the Windows Defender offline scan not working in recent builds.
Some Insiders may have noticed a new message when holding down the power button which says “Please release the power button. We just need a few more seconds to shut down”. This is an Insider-only feature that gathers additional diagnostic data for situations where holding down the power button was used to recover an unresponsive or nonfunctional system. It is important to note that holding down the power button is not the appropriate way to shutdown/reboot a system that is functioning properly. See this support page for additional information on how to properly shutdown your PC.

Known issues

Buttons on Game bar are not centered correctly.
Selecting a notification after taking a screenshot or game clip opens the Xbox app’s home screen instead of opening the screenshot or game clip.
Post-install at the first user-prompted reboot or shutdown, a small number of devices have experienced a scenario wherein the OS fails to load properly and may enter a reboot loop state. For affected PCs, turning off fast boot may bypass the issue. If not, it is necessary to create a bootable ISO on a USB drive, boot into recovery mode, and this this will allow bypass.
Tearing a PDF tab in Microsoft Edge will result in a bugcheck (GSOD).
