Windows 10

Windows 10 build 18995 est disponible en téléchargement, quoi de neuf ?

A l’occasion du Week End, Microsoft publie une nouvelle construction de Windows 10 20H1. Elle apporte des améliorations, des corrections de bug et quelques nouveautés.

Windows 10 build 18995 est disponible sur l’anneau rapide du programme Windows Insider. Microsoft introduit des changements dans le système d’authentification de son système d’exploitation. L’identification par code PIN en mode sans échec est désormais activée.

Windows 10 build 18995

Ceci simplifie considérablement le processus. Actuellement si vous redémarrez votre appareil en mode sans échec, le seul moyen de vous connecter au bureau consiste à fournir le mot de passe de votre compte. Si l’identifiant est long la méthode n’est pas vraiment pratique et l’option PIN accélère le processus.

A ce sujet Dona Sarkar, chef du programme Windows Insider explique.

« Nous allons encore plus loin dans notre parcours sans mot de passe en ajoutant la prise en charge de la connexion Windows Hello PIN au mode sans échec, afin que vous n’ayez plus besoin de votre mot de passe pour dépanner votre appareil. »

Windows 10 build 18995, diverses améliorations

Il existe plusieurs autres améliorations et corrections de bugs. La liste des changements et nouveautés est disponible en fin d’article.

Microsoft corrige par exemple un bug à l’origine d’un mauvais avertissement de compte. Le journal des modifications indique

« Certaines améliorations ont été apportées pour résoudre un problème. Certains utilisateurs voyaient souvent une notification indiquant que leur compte devait être corrigé. Cependant la page des paramètres qui s’était ouverte indiquait qu’aucune action n’était nécessaire.»

A cela s’ajoute des améliorations autour de l’expérience de recherche. Un patch corrige une défaillance de son écran (contenu vide) tandis qu’une erreur lors d’une tentative d’impression est corrigée.

Nous sommes dans le contexte du programme Windows Insider si bien que cette build 18995 s’accompagne de problèmes connus et non corrigés. Par exemple la recherche dans le Panneau de configuration ou dans l’Explorateur de fichiers est problématique.  La zone peut devenir grise si bien qu’aucune requête peut être précisée.

Known issues

  • There has been an issue with older versions of anti-cheat software used with games where after updating to the latest 19H1 Insider Preview builds may cause PCs to experience crashes. We are working with partners on getting their software updated with a fix, and most games have released patches to prevent PCs from experiencing this issue. To minimize the chance of running into this issue, please make sure you are running the latest version of your games before attempting to update the operating system. We are also working with anti-cheat and game developers to resolve similar issues that may arise with the 20H1 Insider Preview builds and will work to minimize the likelihood of these issues in the future.
  • Certain 2D apps (like Feedback Hub, Microsoft Store, 3D Viewer) are incorrectly being treated as having protected content within Windows Mixed Reality. During video capture, these 2D apps block their content from being recorded.
  • When capturing a repro video while filing a bug via Feedback Hub in Windows Mixed Reality, you won’t be able to select Stop video, due to the protected content issue noted above. If you want to submit a repro video, you will need to wait 5 minutes for the recording to time out. If you’d like to file the bug without a repro video, you can close the Feedback Hub window to end the recording and resume filing your bug when you reopen the app in Feedback > Drafts.
  • When using the Search bar in either Control Panel or File Explorer, the box becomes grey and prevents input. We’ve identified the cause, and we’re working on a fix for a future flight.
  • Devices configured for dual scan (WSUS and Windows Update) for updates may not be offered new builds in the Fast ring. Selecting Check online for updates from Microsoft Update will scan for updates, but may return with the message, “Your device is up to date.” We’re working on a fix for a future flight.
  • Some devices configured to Use HDR may experience a bluish tint on their HDR displays after using Night Light. We have identified the cause, and we are working on a fix for an upcoming build.
  • Theme packs downloaded from the Microsoft Store fail to apply.
  • Starting with the previous flight, some Insiders may find that Settings doesn’t launch from the button in Start, isn’t listed in the All apps list, or as a search result. If you are impacted, pressing WIN+R and inputting “ms-settings:” (without the quotes) will launch Settings if you need it.
  • After successfully updating to a new build, the Windows Update Settings page may show the same build needs to install. You can verify the build was successfully installed by checking the build number in the corner of the screen or going to Win+R, typing winver, and confirming the build number. We have identified the cause of this issue, and we’re working on a fix for a future flight.
