Dona Sarkar explained in an official blog post that a high BSOD occurrence on PC was the main culprit: Microsoft quickly rolled out a hotfix to Fast Ring Insiders to check if the OS is stable enough for public release. It is still unclear whether the Redmond giant will follow the usual path and push Windows 10 build 17134 to Slow Ring and Release Preview Insiders or will simply roll it out to the general public as soon as Fast Ring Insiders have give it the green light....

Mr. Sarkar announced the latest Windows 10 preview build for those in the Fast ring on the Microsoft blog just a few days after the last one. However, the 18361 and 18362 previews include absolutely nothing new for Windows Insiders to check out. The 18361 blog post lists just six bug fixes for the build preview. On the other hand, the latest build release (build 18362) brings only two bug fixes....

Along with all these new features and improvements, though, users who’ve installed the latest build have reported a large number of problems. And trustu us, there are plenty of them. Windows 10 Preview build 14291 reported problems If you read our articles on Issues on a regular basis, you probably know that the most commonly reported problem in almost every previous Windows 10 Preview build has to do with installation....

In fact, Insiders are struggling to find the difference between this build and the previous one. On the other hand, even though the two builds are almost same in terms of new features and system improvements, Insiders who installed 16275 encountered a few issues. Which is, as it seems, the main difference between the two builds. We’ve wandered around Microsoft forums, and found a few reports about problems that emerged in the latest Preview....

Fast Ring Insiders recently got access to a new build: Windows 10 20H1 preview build 18898. Microsoft started to work on 20H1 builds even though Insiders in the Release Preview Ring are currently testing the May 2019 Update. This feature update is expected to land at the end of this month. Let’s discuss what changes, improvements and bug fixes 20H1 build 18898 brings to Windows 10 users. Windows 10 20H1 build 18898 changelog New Disk type option Microsoft rolled out a new feature in Task Manager’s Performance tab....

Going from a targeted service to a worldwide available one makes it extremely convenient for those who don’t really benefit a lot from waiting until they’re turn comes to get the update. This change is also implemented for companies and organizations and Microsoft encourages all businesses to start deploying Windows 10 Creators Update across all of their PCs because it is safe and there is no risk involved. Windows and Office 365 Plus sync up for semi-annual release As many might be aware of, Microsoft has changed up their update policy quite a bit and the Creators Update was the first major update in a long line of updates that will follow a semi-annual release model....

Chatty partners The long awaited confirmation came from Fitbit, which posted a long announcement on its support forum. The post was regarding Fitbit’s own beta trials for device notification features on the Windows 10 platform. Nevertheless, if we are to believe the information that slipped from Fitbit, te Windows 10 Creators Update will be available in April. This isn’t the first time a company divulges the April launch date of Windows 10 Creators Update....

Rephrasing Lenovo’s press release The company probably freaked out and replaced the sentence. The initial one was stating that “…requires Windows 10 Fall Creators Update which will automatically update starting October 17, 2017.” and now the current sentence says that “Cortana with far-field voice-recognition technology supports up to 4 meters away and in standby mode, requires Windows 10 Fall Creators Update when available.” The important change is, of course, the part “when available....

KB4090007 available for Windows 10 version 1709, aka the Fall Creators Update KB4091663 available for Windows 10 Version 1703, aka the Creators Update KB4091664 available for Windows 10 Version 1607, aka the Anniversary Update KB4091666 available for all Windows 10 versions. Judging by the frequency Intel and Microsoft roll out new Meltdown and Spectre updates, it is safe to state that the threat is still real. These two vulnerabilities reside in Intel’s processor architecture itself but the company managed to fix it with its 8th-Gen CPU architecture....

The bug apparently affects PsSetLoadImageNotifyRoutine, one of the mechanisms employed by security solutions to identify whether or not code has been loaded into the kernel or user space. Attackers can exploit this bug such that the PsSetLoadImageNotifyRoutine throws an invalid module name and with this, the attacker will disguise the malware as a legitimate operation. The worst part, however, is that the bug affects all versions of Windows that have been released since Windows 2000....

Survey says The most recent survey results are out for the month of June and holds some rather interesting information, the most interesting of which being that Windows 10 has officially become the most used version of Windows among Steam users. The news is hardly a surprise. The runner-up — the legendary Windows 7 — has, in turn, lost a percentile in how many players still use it. When it comes down to numbers For those that are interested in raw numbers, Windows 10 is currently the most popular version of Windows with a total user share on Steam of 51....

KB3124200 Update problems on Windows 10 As I was saying, the most commonly encountered problem seems to be the one with failed installs of the KB3124200 update.

Microsoft released this patch to improve the stability of the Windows 10 OS. However, just like all the other updates, it came with some issues of its own. According to one user who installed the update right after its release, folders saved on the SSD are no longer accessible.

Microsoft enthusiast @tfwboredom spotted this change and shared it with his followers. These new icons should arrive for Insiders in Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview build 14342, which has yet to be released. You can check out the new look of Windows 10 Mobile settings app icons below: It appears that Microsoft is focused on the Settings app in the recent Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview builds. Microsoft already updated a few settings pages in the previous build and some features of the system even received their own settings pages that aren’t available in the public version of Windows 10 Mobile....

With the release of the Anniversary Update, good ole Microsoft decided to up the ante with other web browsers, especially Google Chrome. Apparently, whenever a user is browsing the web with Chrome on their laptop, the operating system at times, will deliver a pop-up notification via the taskbar, saying that Google Chrome drains more battery than Microsoft Edge. The message also includes a note that if you switch to Microsoft Edge, you’ll gain 36% more browsing time....

Everything was going smoothly for News Meteorologist Metinka Slater from KCCI 8. As she was giving warning about the thunderstorm and the 12 hours of heavy rainfall that would come, she was interrupted by a Windows 10 upgrade message. The message covered much of the radar screen. The pushy window has two options: “Upgrade now”, or “Start download, upgrade later”. Slater simply switched to another video source, ignoring the upgrade message....

As you know already, the v1903 update had its fair share of bugs, problems, and BSOD errors, but the most annoying issues are related to the installation process. It seems that now, when trying to upgrade from v1809 to v1903, Windows gets stuck at the OEM logo with the error 0xc1900101. Here’s how one user describes the problem: It’s not the first time that this happens after an update. Let’s not forget that Microsoft blocked the update for many because of similar problems....

So, the 22000.71 build for Windows 11 is available for downloading and installing, if you are a Windows Insider, of course. And, as with any new software, we are bound to run into some nasty bugs, that somehow limit our experience on the new OS. This article will list the known bugs that plague this build of Windows 11. Windows 11 is still a test build, so no drivers are available yet Al across the internet, Windows Insiders are pointing out that certain peripherals or other hardware elements aren’t working properly anymore....

This has been a topic has caused joy at first, because a new operating system was born, although heavily criticized, while immediately turning into outrage, since a lot of users can’t actually upgrade. This is due to the system requirements that Microsoft imposed for the latest OS, rendering the vast majority unable to perform this upgrade. However, in the meantime, workarounds on taking the leap to Windows 11 have been found and published, and even the tech giant gave users a little nudge in the right direction....
