14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft is getting ready to introduce a new Windows 10 build for insiders, and although the company isn’t disclosing the version number of this new release, more signs point to 10135.
This time, release notes that were leaked by WZor unveil the changes that Microsoft made in this build, which is reportedly being tested by partners as we speak.
Documentation published today reveals that Windows 10 build 10135 comes with updates for the built-in apps, including Calculator, Music, Photos, and Snipping tool, which now features a delayed snapshot option.
But the biggest change is definitely the addition of Microsoft Edge, as Microsoft has finally renamed Project Spartan and is now giving users the chance to try out the new Windows 10 browser with the final branding that will be used in RTM.
Known issues
Since this is a preview build, there are several issues that Microsoft has already come across and is working on fixing before the final version of Windows 10.
First and foremost, the company says that Bluetooth file transfers fail after a device upgrade, so if you upgrade Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 build 10135, you won’t be able to use this option.
What’s more important, however, is that installation could fail if you turn on Narrator, so keep this in mind if you want to perform a clean install of build 10135.
“While you install a clean build, if you launch Narrator toward the end of the setup process, you might not be able to obtain focus in the UI to pick a local or domain account after leaving the express settings screen,” the company explains, adding that there’s no workaround available right now, so you should leave Narrator turned off.
Launching Cortana can cause the device to freeze, a crash may occur in the Start screen, and you cannot sign in with a Facebook account on the desktop version of Spotify, Microsoft adds.
At this point, it’s not yet clear whether build 10135 is the one that could be released to users, but if it is, have a look at all the release notes and known issues in the photo gallery below to make sure that installation completes successfully.
Update: Windows 10 build 10135 screenshots got leaked too, so you can see all of the above in live photos here.
