Microsoft has released a new Windows 10 preview build for users in the Dev channel, and Microsoft says everyone is getting it this time, as the company has completed its testing and all insiders in this ring could continue to be provided with the same build going forward.

Windows 10 build 21296 brings two important changes, namely the ability to manage and create Storage Spaces from the Settings app enabled for all users, and improvements for the new clipboard history design. Microsoft explains:

“We’re starting to roll out an update to our converged clipboard history design (WIN + V) to support pinning, unpinning, deleting, and syncing individual entries. Appreciate your patience and feedback while we’ve been working on this. If you have any other feedback in this space, we welcome it in the Feedback Hub under Input and Language > Clipboard,” the company explains.

Fixes and known issues

Other than that, this new build is all bout fixes, but on the other hand, it also comes with a series of known issues, including some affecting the new weather widgets (Microsoft calls the feature News and interests) previously rolled out to insiders.

“We’re working on enabling the new taskbar experience for existing pinned sites. In the meantime, you can unpin the site from the taskbar, remove it from the edge://apps page, and then re-pin the site. [News and interests] Upgrading to this build will cause your news and interests taskbar setting to be reset to “Show icon and text”. This is fixed going forward. [ News and interests] Sometimes the news and interests flyout cannot be dismissed with pen,” Microsoft says.

You can check out the full changelog in the box after the jump, and users in the Dev channel can download the new build from Windows Update as they do with every other build.
