Here's what's fixed, improved, and still broken in Windows 10 build 18323

Windows 10 Insider Preview build 18323 is now available, and with it are some new features like better RAW image support and an improved Light theme. As you'd expect at this point in the development cycle, there's nothing crazy that's new.

But that also means that there are a ton of fixes, improvements, and known issues. Here's what got fixed and improved in Windows 10 build 18323:

• REMINDER: The new tamper protection setting in the Windows Security app protects your device by helping to prevent bad actors from tampering with the most important security settings. You may see a new recommendation in the Windows Security app suggesting you turn this setting on.

• We fixed an issue causing Update Orchestrator Service to stop working periodically. As a result of this issue, you might have seen an error on Windows Update Settings saying that the update failed to restart. This issue also resulted in restart using Update and Restart to sometimes just restart you back into the base OS.

• Clicking your account in Cortana Permissions doesn’t bringing up the UI to sign out from Cortana (if you were already signed in) for some users in this build.

• We fixed an issue where you might see a Windows Update icon in the notification area saying there was an update when no update was available.

• We fixed an issue on certain devices that could sometimes result in the screen staying black on boot until CTRL + Alt + Del was pressed.

• We fixed an issue resulting in certain devices experience increased battery drain on the last few flights when in Disconnected Standby Mode.

• We fixed an issue for devices with multiple monitors resulting in Task View (WIN + Tab) sometimes showing UWP app thumbnails on the primary monitor rather than the monitor where the app was open.

• We fixed an issue where some key labels were cut off in Armenian full touch keyboard layout.

• We fixed an issue when using the full touch keyboard layout in Korean where pressing the FN key unexpectedly highlighted the IME ON/OFF key. We also fixed an issue for this language where tapping the tab key wouldn’t insert a tab.

• Thanks everyone who shared feedback about the new Japanese Microsoft IME we’ve been working on. With today’s build the IME and settings pages are returning to the ones that we shipped with the October 2018 Update, while we take your feedback into consideration.

Here are the known issues:

• While with Build 18323 we fixed the recent spike in Update Orchestrator Service crashes, if you’re on a base OS that’s impacted by the crash, you will still see the symptoms described above until you’re on 18323.

• The Windows Security app may show an unknown status for the Virus & threat protection area, or not refresh properly. This may occur after upgrade, restart, or settings changes.

• Launching games that use anti-cheat software may trigger a bugcheck (GSOD).

• Creative X-Fi sound cards are not functioning properly. We are partnering with Creative to resolve this issue.

• While night light functionality is back up and running, you may still find issues with other blue light reduction software not working.

• When performing Reset this PC and selecting Keep my files on a device that has Reserved Storage enabled the user will need to initiate an extra reboot to ensure Reserved Storage is working again properly.

• Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue.

• USB devices, including mice and keyboards, may no longer work after updating. Possible workarounds are to change which USB port it is plugged into or connect the device through a USB hub.

• You may consistently see black screens when using Remote Desktop, DisplayLink, or Miracast if you are on an AMD or Nvidia driver. We’re working on a fix, but in the meantime, you can work around this issue by enabling the following registry key and rebooting: reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm /v EnableFrontBufferRenderChecks /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f.

• The value in Narrator Settings “Change the level of detail Narrator provides about text and control” might be empty. To work around this issue, use the Narrator command Narrator key + v to change the verbosity level, then close and reopen Settings app again.

• After upgrade, there might be two Narrator voices talking at the same time. Reboot the machine once, this issue will go away.

• Windows Sandbox may launch to a black screen for some users.

• The Insider Program Settings pages currently have a bug preventing Narrator and Screen Reader programs from properly reading the page. A fix will be available in an upcoming build.

• Taskbar icons may stop loading and appear blank.

• Desktop Window Manager will crash if multiple Office and/or video playback applications are running on the same screen on devices that have Multiplane Overlay Support.

As usual, there's a single known issue for developers:

• If you install any of the recent builds from the Fast ring and switch to the Slow ring – optional content such as enabling developer mode will fail. You will have to remain in the Fast ring to add/install/enable optional content. This is because optional content will only install on builds approved for specific rings.

You can expect that known issue list to shrink, as we get closer to RTM in March. As usual, you can download today's build by heading to Settings -> Update & security -> Windows Update -> Check for updates. If you're not on the Fast ring, go to the Windows Insider Program tab to get started.
