Microsoft released Windows 10 for PCs build 17040 to the Fast ring today. Alongside a list of minor new features, there’s also a long list of fixes, improvements, and known issues to be aware of.
Today, Microsoft released another Redstone 4 preview build, bringing it to Windows 10 build 17040. As we’ve seen recently, and because the company hasn’t yet held an event to discuss upcoming features, the only new features listed are pretty minor.
But just as you’d expect, there’s a long list of fixes, improvements, and known issues to be aware of before installing it. For one thing, the issue from build 17035 preventing AMD PCs from installing it has been resolved, so this should be available to everyone.
Here’s the list of fixes and improvements for build 17040:
Here are the known issues:
As always, it’s recommended that you read through the known issues before installing any build from the Fast ring. For example, if you rely heavily on Cortana notifications, you might want to skip this one.
Also, regarding third-party antivirus software, we’re reaching out and trying to see if there’s a list of specific AV apps that will affect OneDrive.
You can install today’s build by heading over to Settings -> Update & security -> Windows Update -> Check for updates. If you’re not on the Fast ring yet, go to the Windows Insider Program tab and click ‘Get started’.
