Microsoft has today pushed a new Windows 10 Redstone 5 (Version 1809) Build 17672 to insiders in Fast and Skip Ahead rings. The Build that brings a new feature, also brings other fixes and improvements.

There are some known issue too that you may like to take a look at before installing this Build.

General improvements, and fixes for PC

  • We fixed an issue where right-clicking to copy text in Microsoft Edge didn’t work in recent flights.
  • We fixed an issue with structuredquery.dll resulting some users experiencing a cyclical explorer.exe crash.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in the two-finger gesture to dismiss all notifications not working in the Action Center.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in the Korean IME sometimes entering duplicate characters when typing into text fields in certain websites in Microsoft Edge.
  • We fixed an issue that could result in apps sometimes not fully maximizing to the top of the screen.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in certain devices not being able to wake from sleep in the last two flights (just showed a black screen).

Known issues

  • After completing the Windows Mixed Reality First Run experience, OOBE is black. Motion Controllers are also not recognized in exclusive apps. If you need your Mixed Reality experience to be working it is advised you not take this build until these issues are fixed.
  • We’re aware of an issue that causes Narrator to read extra text when invoking Alt + Tab, and we’re working on a fix.
  • If you complete the setup for a Windows Mixed Reality headset on this build, the headset will remain black until it is unplugged and reconnected to the PC.
  • We’re making progress on our work to support dark theme in File Explorer and the Common File Dialog, and you’ll see improvements in this build, but we still have some work to do.
  • Insiders who use Remote Desktop, project their screen, or have multiple monitors may experience explorer.exe hangs on this build. This issue can also lead to Microsoft Edge hangs.

Known issues for Sets & Office

  • Sets UX for Office Win32 desktop apps is not final.  The experience will be refined over time based on feedback.
  • The top of some Win32 desktop app windows may appear slightly underneath the tab bar when created maximized. To work around the issue, restore and re-maximize the window.
  • Closing one tab may sometimes minimize the entire set.
  • Tiling and cascading windows, including features like “View Side by Side” in Word, will not work for inactive tabs.
  • The Office Visual Basic Editor window will currently be tabbed but is not intended to be in the future.
  • Opening an Office document while the same app has an existing document open may cause an unintended switch to the last active document. This will also happen when closing a sheet in Excel while other sheets remain open.
  • Local files or non-Microsoft cloud files will not be automatically restored, and no error message will be provided to alert the user to that fact.
