Microsoft has pushed out a new update for Windows 10 Insiders on the fast ring with a new Windows 10 RS5 Insider Preview Build 17746 which brings no new features but a number of fixes.

The new build offers:

  • Microsoft fixed an issue where Narrator would incorrectly report some standard combo boxes as “editable combo box” instead of “combo box”.
  • Microsoft fixed an issue in Windows Mixed Reality causing motion controllers to need to be re-paired after initial setup before appearing in the headset.
  • Microsoft fixed an issue for Japanese and German where when you reset your PC (from Settings > Update & Security > Recovery) the progress percent would be written in the middle of the string rather than at the end.
  • Microsoft fixed an issue when using Italian as your display language where the Yes button to confirm file deletion would sometimes disappear when trying to delete a OneDrive file via File Explorer.
  • The build removes the ability to name tabs that have been set aside in Edge while Microsoft works through feedback suggestions on the feature.

Known issues

  • Insiders may experience a bugcheck (GSOD) when logging out of your user profile or shutting down your PC.
  • When you use the Ease of Access Make Text bigger setting, you might see text clipping issues, or find that text is not increasing in size everywhere.
  • Narrator sometimes does not read in the Settings app when you navigate using Tab and arrow keys. Try switching to Narrator Scan mode temporarily. And when you turn Scan mode off again, Narrator will now read when you navigate using Tab and arrows key. Alternatively, you can restart Narrator to work around this issue.

Notable app updates

  • Microsoft is shipping Your Phone app to Insiders in the Release Preview ring, specific to PCs running Windows 10 April 2018 Update (Version 1803, Build 17134).
  • If you’re in Skip Ahead Microsoft recently flighted version 10.1807.2286.0 of Screen Sketch to you. As mentioned, Microsoft is exploring a new name, and are taking suggestions. Microsoft also added a delay snip feature, which was one of the top features requests Microsoft heard from you. Just click the chevron next to the New button in the app and you’ll now find options to “Snip now”, “Snip in 3 seconds”, and “Snip in 10 seconds”. Oh, and if you have the app open or pinned to your taskbar, you can just right click the icon in the taskbar to get these options, since Microsoft added them to the jump list – let Microsoft know what you’d like to see next!

Insiders can download the new build by Checking for Updates in Settings.
