There are still some known issues which need to be taken care before updating to the latest build. Here’s the list of known issues:
- Insiders will find issues with PDFs not displaying correctly when opened in Microsoft Edge.
- Settings page will crash when trying to change the account password or PIN. As a workaround use the CTRL + ALT + DEL method.
- Sign-in Settings will no longer be seen or missing for enabling/disabling Dynamic Lock.
- Clicking on “View storage usage on other drives” will result in Settings crashing. This should be fixed in the upcoming build.
- Insiders will be seeing a black screen for Remote Desktop.
It’s important to note that you should not install preview builds on your primary as there could be some annoying bugs. If you would like to try out these changes, you might want to run the update in a Virtual Machine or on your second device.
