Microsoft has just released a new Windows 10 preview build for users in the Dev channel, and this time the update does not include any new features, with the focus set on fixing bugs and improving performance.

Windows 10 build 20262 resolves an issue hitting Wi-Fi and cellular connections on some devices, with Microsoft explaining the following:

“We fixed a recent issue where when both Wi-Fi and cellular were connected, if Wi-Fi disconnected the network flyout would say cellular was still connected, but apps wouldn’t actually be able to use the internet.”

In addition, the software giant says it addressed a problem causing some apps to launch with transparency set to a maximum level, thus making the content barely visible. There are also bug fixes for problems affecting the touchpad and the pen support, as well as for a problem causing the Settings app to crash when opening the Storage Sense page.

You can check out all the changes and improvements in the box after the jump.

Several known issues in this build

Like every other build, this new release comes with a series of known issues, and one of them concerns the refreshed taskbar experience. Microsoft says it’s also working on addressing a Microsoft account error when signing in to apps.

“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. We’re working on a fix for an issue resulting in some users seeing error 0x80070426 when using their Microsoft account to sign into various apps. If you encounter it, rebooting your PC may resolve this,” it says.

The new build is now live for users in the Dev channel as part of the Windows Insider program.
