List of known issues in Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10061

Microsoft has released another new update for Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10061 to public. The new build now available for download via Windows Update install automatically, or you can go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Updates and click the “Check for updates” button.

With the new update, some bugs have been fixed but some still remain, and Microsoft had listed some of the known issues of the build. Among them was bug with Win32 apps no opening from the Start menu, downloading music in Xbox Music and Music preview apps broken, and Project Spartan get unpinned after upgrading.

Here the full details of known issues in Windows 10 Build 10061 from Microsoft:

• We know this one will be a bit painful but there is a bug with this build in which Win32 (desktop) apps won’t launch from the Start menu. The workaround is to use search to find and launch these apps and pin them to your taskbar for quick access.
• The Windows Store Beta (grey tile) and Project Spartan get unpinned after upgrading. You can re-pin them to your Taskbar from All apps on your Start menu.
• The version of the Mail and Calendar apps included in this build (17.4008.42281.0) have a known issue that causes every typed letter to appear twice. Which might be funny if it weren’t so irritating. We have fixed this issue with updated versions of the apps (17.4016.42291.0) available in the Windows Store Beta (grey tile). If you don’t open the Mail and Calendar apps within the first 15 minutes after logging in to your device for the first time after upgrading and your device is connected to the Internet, the apps should update automatically. You can also go into the Store Beta and check for updates manually at any time.
• Cortana will highlight things it will be able to help users with, but some of these features are not yet implemented and we are working to deliver them soon.
• There is a known issue where you might see a black screen with only your mouse cursor during login/logout. We have a fix for this coming via WU.
• Downloading music in the Xbox Music and Music Preview apps is currently broken. We also have a fix for this coming via WU.
• When you minimize an app playing audio, it may stop playing once its minimized.
• In Project Spartan, no selection highlight appears when selecting text in the address box. You can right click in the address box to cut/copy/paste and it will work as expected. We also have a fix for this coming via WU.
• Magnifier does not work when you put it into docked mode. We will also have a fix for this coming via WU.

In addition, Microsoft also fixed some issues in this build:

• Fixed the issue where Indexing of new email in Outlook was not working.
• Fixed the issue with Hyper-V preventing you from enabling it.
• Visual Studio will no longer crash when creating a new Universal app project.
• Fixed few issues in Project Spartan. Windows user can now double-click on the titlebar to maximize. Microsoft also made some tweaks to the alignment of the Favorites Bar so that the text and icons no longer appear partially below the bottom of the Favorites Bar.
