14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft recently released Windows 10 build 14955 for PCs and mobile devices enrolled in the fast ring, and just as it happens with 99 percent of preview builds, there are also some known issues that users should have in mind when updating.
In the case of Windows phones, Microsoft says that users who previously installed build 14951 successfully should be able to update to the new version flawlessly, explaining that it has already found a workaround for the 0 percent bug that made it impossible for some devices to update.
Additionally, Microsoft says that some insiders are also getting error 0x80242006 when trying to update to the latest builds, but a workaround in this regard is not yet available. The company explains that it’s investigating and more information should be offered soon.
Excel Mobile also freezes after adding sheets and eventually crashes on devices that update to build 14955, the Redmond-based software giant confirms, so if the spreadsheet app is important to you, have this bug in mind when updating.
No new languages and keyboards
And last but not least, users who install this build won’t be able to add new languages, keyboards, and speech packs, the company pointed out.
“If you have existing languages, keyboards, and speech packs installed - they will carry over when you update to new builds. You just can’t install any new ones. If you do a hard reset of your phone on these builds - you will also be unable to install additional languages, keyboards, and speech packs,” the Windows team says.
“You can use Windows Device Recovery Tool to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 or Windows 10 Mobile, install any languages, keyboards, and speech packs you need and then update to the latest build in the Fast ring as a workaround.”
As usual, these bugs are nothing that Microsoft should be blamed for, as they are part of the Windows Insider program and come with pretty much every insider build.
