Known issues

■ Microsoft has observed seeing longer-than-normal delays during install at the 88% mark. Some delays are as long as 90 minutes before moving forward. Please be patient as the install will complete successfully.

■ Some PCs will fail to resume from hibernate requiring a hard reboot to recover.

■ If you install a font product from the Microsoft Store, then later install a new build (feature update), the Store package will remain installed, but the fonts within the package are not installed. Until this is fixed, the temporary workaround is to uninstall the product from the Apps page in Settings, then re-acquire the product from the Store.

■ If an East Asian keyboard is the only input method on your system the touch keyboard will show an English layout with no IME on/off key. Until this is fixed, the workaround is to add a second keyboard language from the Region & Language Settings page or to use the IME mode button in the taskbar.

■ Microsoft is investigating an issue where the Japanese IME sometimes can’t turn on in UWP apps. If you encounter this issue switch to a Win32 application (e.g. Notepad), turn the IME on there, then switch back to the UWP app.

■ Microsoft is investigating reports that 3 and 4 finger gestures on the touchpad have become unresponsive starting with the previous flight.

■ Windows Hello will fail to work on Surface Laptops with this build.

■ Plugging in an external optical drive (DVD) will cause an Explorer.exe crash.

■ Settings will crash if you open the Themes Settings page.

■ Buttons on the Game bar are not centered correctly.

■ In some games—such as Destiny 2 and Fortnite—mouse and keyboard input will still go to the game while the Game bar is open.

■ 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.

■ After the Game bar closes, the mouse cursor resets to the position it was in when the Game bar was opened.

■ Keyboard and mouse input may not work correctly in the Game bar when playing a first-person game (e.g. Minecraft). Alt+Tab out of and into the game should fix this.

■ In the text box for Mixer stream title, using non-character keys (e.g. Tab, Delete, Backspace, etc.) may cause the game to hang for a few seconds.

■ Bringing up Game bar using the Xbox button on an Xbox One controller doesn’t work in some games.

Insiders can download the build by Checking for Updates in settings.
