Bugs[edit | edit source]
- The SKU selection during setup appears to be blank. The SKUs can still be chosen however.
- You may see unexpected light colors on the dark theme, as well as dark on dark text when said theme is enabled.
- The acrylic background on the taskbar flyouts (network, volume, etc) is missing.
- When the "Make text bigger" option in the Ease of Access Settings page is used, text clipping issues may be encountered, and sometimes the text may not resize everywhere.
- When Microsoft Edge is set up as the kiosk app, and you configured the start or new tab page from Settings, the browser may not be launched with the correct URL.
- Sometimes the notification count icon can overlap with the extension icon on the Microsoft Edge toolbar when an extension has unread notifications.
- If you're using Windows 10 in S Mode, when launching Office from the Microsoft Store, it may fail with an error message saying that a .dll file “is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again.” Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling Office from the Store can fix the problem.
- When using Narrator's scan mode, it may stop multiple times on a single control (an example is if there's an image present that doubles as a link).
- Sometimes the title of the dialog is spoken by Narrator more than once.
- When using Narrator's scan mode, ⇧ Shift with selection commands in Microsoft Edge, the text does not get selected correctly.
- Sometimes Narrator doesn't read combo boxes until Alt+Down is pressed.
- There's a chance of the Start menu causing performance and reliability issues in this build.
