14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft rolled out yet another Windows 10 build, once again available for PCs and only for users enrolled in the Fast ring of the Windows Insider program.
Windows 10 build 15061 doesn’t bring anything special, but it’s worth installing because it fixes several reported issues and gets us closer to the RTM build that’s expected next week.
Microsoft is projected to launch Windows 10 Creators Update on April 11, and the RTM build should be shipped to insiders the following week, so build 15061 is just paving the road for this important milestone.
The most recent Windows 10 build includes just four fixes, one of which is addressing an issue that was causing Direct3D games to fail to launch. Dona Sarkar, head of the Windows insider program, explains what went wrong with this feature:
“We fixed an issue where in recent flights, some Direct3D 9 games might periodically fail to launch. To work around this, it was necessary that your default display resolution be the recommended setting for your system. You can now return your display configuration to your preferred settings.”
Known issues also there
Additionally, Microsoft also repaired a bug causing VPN connections not to show up in Network Connections, as well as an issue with the OOBE that caused the UI to crash when users tapped the birthday date field in the new account screen.
And last but not least, this build introduces a fix for distorted MP4 videos in Movies and TV app, with everything now supposed to work correctly.
It goes without saying that some known issues still exist, and they are pretty much the same as in the previous build, but you can check out the full changelog in the box below.
Keep in mind that this is still a preview build and other bugs might still exist, but given that we’re already in an advanced development stage of the Creators Update, it should already be super-stable and reliable.
