Official Windows 10 Insiders thread

Now running Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 14271.rs1_release.160218-2310 on Surface Book and Surface Pro 3.

- New tab in notification area of Taskbar, allowing items to be scrolled, saving space
- The bootup stall is apparently fixed
- January firmware updates install after the upgrade. Bootup still works. Problem must have been Windows 10, not the firmware

Other changes: (From Insider Hub)
Here’s what’s fixed for PC

• We fixed an issue where the window borders on apps would change from accent color to black after every upgrade to a new build.
• We have updated the music control icons that are shown in taskbar previews in music apps like Groove to look more crisp and clean at higher resolutions.
• We fixed an issue where the taskbar would sometimes not auto-hide and show unexpectedly on top of full screen windows such as showing above a PowerPoint presentation when in slideshow mode.
• We fixed an issue where the “Hide notifications while presenting” setting preference is lost after upgrading to a new build.
• The entire app header in Action Center is now right-clickable instead of just the app name or “x”.
• We made it easier to dismiss all notifications from a specific app in Action Center by increasing the target area to encompass the entire app header.
• We fixed an issue where interaction notifications would not show a button to input text in some cases.
• Fast user switching should work now with Picture Password.
• We fixed an issue where some desktop (Win32) apps look missing from Start.
• We fixed an issue where the accent color does not automatically change when the slideshow option is chosen for your desktop background.

Thanks for the updates. Any known issues?

Known issues (24 Feb 2016 from Insider Hub)
We are tracking an issue reported by Insiders where some PCs will freeze or bluescreen when resuming from hibernation. Disabling hibernation is a workaround in some cases until this is fixed.

• If you have Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Internet Security, or the Kaspersky Total Security Suite installed on your PC there is a known driver bug that prevents these programs from working as expected in builds from the Development Branch. We are partnering with Kaspersky to fix this issue for a future release, but at this time there are no known workarounds. While this issue is present, we recommend using Windows Defender or another third party anti-virus product of your choice to remain protected.

• Turning on the “always show all icons in the notification area” setting disrupts the layout of the notification area (“systray”).

• When browsing in Microsoft Edge, charts displayed using D3.js library will not display correctly – e.g. render as black, positioned incorrectly. Known affected sites are Cortana, Bing.com, and PowerBI.com.

I've seen that in the hub app. Just asking I've you've experienced any of it or others

Solid for me for 12 hours so far on both Surface Book and Surface Pro 3.

Have no run into any problems with the latest build. It may just be me, but my battery life seems far better now, often seeing just 5-6% drain over an hour of onenote use during lectures. It used by be about 10%.

Beta INTEL drivers and a few other aftermarket drivers reporting "unsigned" and won't install. If you have any "odd" hardware, this might be a showstopper for you.

 

[Compusmurf]

Just FYI, I ended up rolling back to previous beta and "temporarily" put Insider on hold until they can work out that issue. I control some of my radio systems with this machine and the driver issue is a NO GO for me. Hope you all are having better luck.

I don't see anything about the scrolling of items, did you need to enable it?

The scrolling widgets should be automatic if you have more than four items showing or set to "Always show" in the Notification area.

Oh awesome, i had 3 on. I wish I could just set it to scroll down to 1 icon

been holding off on 14271 till some updates to fix the hibernation bug, but 14267 has been acting up lately. if i leave my SP3 on for say an hour or two it starts freezing with the keyboard attached. Moreso whenever i click the start button. However, detaching and reattaching the KN clears the problem, but it keeps repeating until i reboot. How had 14271 been for you guys. i know Compsmurf rolled back because of driver compatibility with his radio equipment, has it been 'solid' for others? thanks
