#Microsoft releases #Windows 10 Build 10586: Issues and fixes
Microsoft has released perhaps the most important preview version for this final part of the year in Windows 10 build 10586, which many believe is Threshold 2.
Or rather, the version that will be pushed to end users later this month, the new baseline.
And while the company mostly focused on adding a bit more polish to the operating system with this version, Redmond has also fixed a range of issues in build 10586. Those being:
- The issue where any audio playing (like music from Groove, or videos from the Movies & TV app) gets reduced by 75% for a period of time after a notification pops up from Action Center is fixed.
- Pressing the power button on your Surface Pro 3 should put your Surface Pro 3 to sleep instead of shutting it down.
- We fixed an issue reported by Windows Insiders where a disksnapshot.exe command prompt window would flash randomly.
- Windows should now remember your previous login type. For example, if you log in with a PIN – it will prompt you for a PIN next time instead of another type.
- We fixed an issue where Tab previews in Microsoft Edge were appearing as black if the page was not scrolled to the top, and web note clippings were also appearing as black.
- Small form-factor devices, like the Dell Venue 8 Pro, that boot with rotation or virtual mode screen size set larger than the physical screen size should no longer experience a bluescreen on upgrade.
- Apps and games should download from the Store more reliably.
And seeing as this still is prerelease software, which is almost never perfect, here are the known issues:
- After upgrading from one Windows 10 Insider Preview build to another Insider Preview build, Skype messages and contacts will disappear from the Messaging + Skype app. You can get Skype messages and contacts back by navigating to “C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Messaging_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache” in File Explorer and deleting or renaming the “PrivateTransportId” file. After deleting or renaming that file, go to the Skype video app and sign out of Skype and sign back in.
- The Insider Hub might be gone after upgrading to this build. You can get Insider Hub back by going to Settings > System > Apps & features and clicking “Mange optional features”, choosing “Add a feature” and selecting Insider Hub.
Small concerns, these, just a couple of problems, as you can see above.
But if there are more, chances are that the trusty old Windows Insiders will let Microsoft know, so that it can fix any last minute bugs and issues before releasing Threshold 2 to public.
As Fall Update, or November Update, what have you!
