Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
Copilot[edit | edit source]
When first launching or after refreshing Copilot while using Voice access, users may need to use "Show grid" commands to click in the "Ask me anything" box for the first time.
Widgets[edit | edit source]
- Users may experience a loading delay when the Microsoft Start feed is re-enabled.
- Announcements from the Microsoft Start feed may still shown on the taskbar after the feed is hidden.
- Keyboard navigation from the settings subpage back to the top-level settings page may be broken.
- Incorrect spacing and fonts may exist in some settings pages.
Safe mode[edit | edit source]
- Quick Settings and date/time clock on the taskbar may be missing due to the
Capability Access Manager Serviceservice not running. - Clicking Bluetooth & devices and Personalization pages may crash the Settings app due to an overrun of a stack-based buffer
0xc0000409.
