New/Fixed on PC:

• We fixed an issue where upgrading to recent flights would fail if you had a speech for a secondary language installed.
• We fixed an issue where printing from 32-bit apps running on 64-bit versions of the OS was broken when using v3 print drivers on recent builds.
• The ability to take HDR screenshots on your PC via the Xbox app has been removed starting with this build. We plan to re-introduce this feature again in the future.
• We fixed an issue resulting in drag and drop onto websites intermittently not working in Microsoft Edge.
• We fixed an issue where Microsoft Edge would crash after choosing to pin certain websites to Start.
• We fixed an issue where a tab in Microsoft Edge could get in a state where it displayed a tab preview thumbnail even though your mouse wasn’t hovering over the tab.
• We fixed an issue in Microsoft Edge for certain websites where after watching an embedded video full screen then using Esc to return to the page would result in the video controller no longer being visible.
• We fixed an issue in Microsoft Edge where pasting an image to Imgur.com from your clipboard wouldn’t work.
• We fixed an issue where the Emoji Panel’s tooltips could become mixed up.
• We fixed an issue from recent flights resulting in precision touchpads potentially dropping gestures after coming out of sleep.
• We fixed an issue where the battery flyout might incorrectly show “PC not charging” while the device was changing in recent builds.
• We fixed an issue where fonts using shortcuts would become unusable and disappear from the Fonts folder.
• We fixed an issue resulting in multiple apps crashing in the previous flight if you tried to log into the app using Facebook.
• We fixed and issue where Delivery Optimization Group Policy / MDM policy for DOMinFileSizeToCache was ignored and the service defaults were used instead.

Broken on PC:

• ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This build and version is the latest Redstone 3 build in testing for Desktop Insiders on the Fast Ring.

Issues? Bugs? Solutions? For all things Windows 10 build 16278, discuss it here.

Basic tip

If you're having any issues with your device, try a reset.

Settings > Update & security > Recovery > Reset this PC > This provides you with two options: 1. Keep my files and 2. Remove everything

Keep my files

Does just as its name describes. If you choose the setting you can reinstall Windows 10 without having to back up any of the pictures, videos, music and documents that you have stored on it. You absolutely should back up these things just in case, but you shouldn’t need to use that back up. Keep My Files requires a certain amount of free space on your device. As such, it may be unavailable to you if your device is stuffed with a lot of files. If you get an error message asking for more storage when you choose this option you’ll need to back up your files and choose the remove everything option. You could also delete any files that you aren’t using on your device and try the option again. This option will take longer than the other options.

Remove Everything

Deletes every file, every setting from your device and gives you a blank copy of Windows 10 to work with. You’ll need to add any files you have backed up to your device again.

Is it safe to upgrade to this coming from last 2-4 builds?

I looked all over and didn't see anything on this.

I loaded my first Insider build for the Fall Update and it seems to restore my running applications across a shut down and boot up. Is this a new feature or a bug?

If a feature, is there a way to shut it off? Whoever thought restoring Edge tabs was a good idea might have come up with this.

Thank you
