  • Fixed an issue causing the see more “…” menu in the command bar to open in the wrong direction for some resolutions.

[Input]

  • Fixed an issue which could cause explorer.exe to crash when opening the input flyout sometimes.
  • Fixed an issue where when using the touch keyboard on the login screen to sign in to your PC, you may unexpectedly see two touch keyboards launch.

[Lock screen]

  • Fixed an issue in recent flights where if you tried to reset your password from the login screen, it wouldn’t work due to an underlying crash.

Known issues

[File Explorer]

  • We’re investigating an issue causing File Explorer to be very slow to close for some Insiders when closing using the X button. This may also impact the other title bar buttons.
