Any other major bugs in 10158/10159?

[jojoe42]

I've read the release notes which apparently have no known issues for this build (from a techie point of view this sounds too good to be true for a technical preview ). I'm just wondering if 10158/10159 has brought any new issues coming from 10130. Makes sense to put 10159 in the Fast Ring because people will stumble across these bugs but I'm just debating whether to upgrade from 10130, and what those issues/bugs are. Thanks!

The only bug which I discovered - "Phone Companion" app crashed directly after start. Both builds.

Yep, same on both computers, both builds. What I wonder about is how some people are writing reviews.

Slightly off-topic Arnold but this sounds like an issue I had a while back - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...s/b3854f51-3973-483e-b0b9-a8a9b66a87ab?auth=1

Same here - are we missing something?

I consider this pretty major. 10158 and 10159 don't see my wireless card as what it should be

10130 and 10147 see the card as what it should be

10158 doesn't.

10159 doesn't either.

I'm having issues with sound. I get no sound at all on Build 10159 (I jumped straight to this from 10130). When I try to play a test sound a little box pops up saying that the test sound failed to play. Troubleshoot finds no issues. Anyone else experiencing this or know a possible work around?

So the general consensus is that 10159 is more unreliable than 10130 in terms of issues and bugs?

In speaker properties look for a setting called 'Default Format' adjust this until you find one that works

I have found maybe three bugs in 10159 none of which are a problem. The worst I have found is some incorrect text colours in edges dark theme making text unreadable. But others may have more. I suggest updating to this build yourself to see what bugs you may or may not have this is after all what the insider preview is all about.

Sound isn't working with Realtek HD, cahnging the default format won't work either not even uninstalling works.

Remove the device. Scan for hardware changes, let it find it. Reboot. Fixed the same issue for me on my Dell Venue 8 Pro. Actually, I think I had to reboot twice, but that fixed it.

I had once annoyance that a reboot fixed: minimizing the music app stopped the music from playing.

One thing that got fixed in 10158 (and 10159) is the hardware keys for next/previous track are now working. Before, only the play/pause and volume up/down worked.

Interesting, the music app bug is also here for me in 10130. I might go ahead and jump on 10162

I tried that a few times. It didn't fix the problem.
