Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling setting issue As a Windows 10 insider, you have to turn on hardware accelerated GPU scheduling to use it on your PC. That’s because it’s off by default.

The task of bringing the full version of Windows 10 designed for ARM chipsets to mobile phones that are supposed to run only on Windows 10 Mobile seemed almost impossible.

Just like it was the case with previous Windows 10 Preview build (11082), the new build also doesn’t bring any noticeable changes to the system. But this was expected, as Microsoft’s Gabe Aul recently pointed out that “it will still be a few builds before any really noticeable changes show up”. Windows 10 Preview Build 11097 Known Issues The new build fixes some issues from the previous build, like the problem with “the progress dialog when copying or deleting files via File Explorer now showing up....

Although the build brought on some issues, we can safely say that build 14279 isn’t the most troublesome build so far, as previous builds caused a lot more problems. Still, these errors can be very annoying so Microsoft should start working on a solution as soon as possible. Windows 10 Preview Build 14279 reported problems One of the most common problems with Windows 10 Preview builds is the problem with installation — we’ve mentioned it numerous times before and we say it again....

However, build 14951 also caused some problems of its own to users who installed. Microsoft already warned us about some potential problems in the build announcement article, but as usual, that’s not enough. In reality, there are many more issues bugging Insiders, than just those that Microsoft listed under ‘Known Issues.’ So, we wandered around Microsoft’s forums, in order to find problems reported by actual users, and we found a lot of them....

McAfee published a detailed analysis of the vulnerability McAfee issued a detailed report of this vulnerability to explain how it works. It seems that the “Hey, Cortana!” voice command which is enabled by default in Windows 10 can be used even from the lock screen when your computer is locked. This allows hackers to see file data, content and even to execute arbitrary code. The research explains that it’s possible for hackers to type and launch a Windows contextual menu when Cortana starts to listen to a query on a locked device....

New vulnerabilities discovered Hackers can use RCE (Remote Code Execution) flaws to establish a foothold in the main system’s depths.So, by utilizing CPU coding they can assume control of an entire system. This bypasses web code such as HTML and goes directly to the heart of the system. While there are other browser security measures put in place, RCE is considered to be the most important as losing control of it will result in losing control of others as well....

It seems that Microsoft finally realized its Windows 10 naming scheme is a bit awkward and confusing and decided to change it. Windows 10 is now a service instead of a series of major updates and the Redmond giant deploys new general updates twice a year: one in April, and the other in September. Using ambiguous names such as ‘Creators Update‘, ‘Fall Creators Update‘ and other similar names makes it pretty difficult for system administrators to actually keep track of all the updates they installed....

Windows 10 KB3211320 The official support page for KB3211320 confirms that this update replaces the previously released update KB3199986, which by the way brought a series of unpleasant issues. It is good to know that KB3211320 doesn’t feature any uninstall option which means the update is permanent. Interestingly — and confusingly — enough, Microsoft also lists KB3211320 as being an important Edge security update. This piece of information is available in Microsoft’s Security Bulletin Summary for January 2017, where KB3211320 appears as a critical Microsoft Edge security update....

It is worth mentioning that Microsoft listed two build versions for KB4015217, OS build 14393.1066 and 14393.1083. Unfortunately, the tech giant did not explain what are the exact differences between the two versions. Without further ado, let us see what are the fixes and improvements brought by KB4015217. Windows 10 Anniversary Update KB4015217 Addressed issue that was preventing the Camera application from saving a captured image when “Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar” settings is enabled....

The update addresses a script-related bug that may cause Internet Explorer to stop working. KB4051963 also fixes the issue where apps may stop responding for users who rely on Internet or web proxies that use PAC script configurations. So, if you encountered various issues where Outlook cannot connect to Office365 or Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge cannot successfully render content (local computer content and web content included), simply install this update on your computer to fix them....

Notably, only the Fast ring insiders have access to the newest build.
