You can read the official changelog below.

Known issues

- Creative X-Fi sound cards are not functioning properly. Microsoft are partnering with Creative to resolve this issue.
- Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. Microsoft are investigating the issue.
- Microsoft is investigating an issue preventing VMware from being able to install or update Windows Insider Preview builds. Hyper-V is a viable alternative if available to you.
Known issues for Developers
- If you install any of the recent builds from the Fast ring and switch to the Slow ring, optional content such as enabling developer mode will fail. You will have to remain in the Fast ring to add/install/enable optional content. This is because optional content will only install on builds approved for specific rings.
