Microsoft has released a new preview version for Windows Insiders in the form of Windows 10 Redstone build 11102, which has just rolled out to the fast ring of the program.

Any new features, you ask?

Oh, just one.

Redmond says that it is one of the most requested of features in the Feedback app — besides an ad blocker and support for extensions, of course. But the software titan has finally brought a history menu to the new browser.

Meaning, right-clicking the back and forward buttons in Edge provides quick access to the recently visited websites in the current tab.

A welcome addition.

Particularly after the previous couple of preview versions mostly focused on bug fixes and performance improvements. Shows that Microsoft is working on bringing new options to the platform, and hopefully extensions support is in next.

Not all is rosy, though.

There are some troubling developments for gamers, in how some PC games will not work as expected after installing this version. Gabriel Aul notes this as:

“Some PC games will crash switching from windowed mode to full screen, upon game resolution change, or upon launch due to a bug in Windows graphics stack. We have observed this with The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed, and Metal Gear Solid V but it may occur with other titles as well.”

Other report bugs include tools like Magnifier and accessibility programs crashing, and WiFi card losing compatibility on certain hardware, but Microsoft assures that these problems and issues will be fixed in the next build.

Do keep in mind, of course, that this version has only been released for fast ring Windows Insiders, with no word yet on if Redmond is planning a slow track release or not.
