Microsoft déploie une nouvelle construction de Windows 10 Creators Update. Disponible en téléchargement pour les utilisateurs inscrits sur l’anneau rapide du programme Insider, Windows 10 build 15025 propose de nouvelles fonctionnalités et des corrections de bug.
Windows 10 Build 15025, focus sur l’accessibilité
Cette première construction du mois de février propose pas mal de choses. Microsoft améliorer l’accessibilité de son OS avec une prise en charge du braille au travers de Narrator. Il s’agit d’une première version proposée en version bêta. Des améliorations sont donc possibles par la suite. Dans la même optique, une nouvelle option audio propose une restitution en Mono.
A ce sujet, Dona Sarkar, chef du programme Windows Insider explique
«Les utilisateurs ayant une déficience visuelle utilisent une application de lecture d’écran pour lire le contenu et les informations. Souvent, ils utilisent un casque ou des écouteurs pour entendre […] Ils utilisent généralement un seul écouteur pour entendre le PC tout en gardant le contact avec le monde externe (conversations et les sons autour d’eux) “
Le Feedback Hub, le principal outil des rétroactions s’améliore. Il est désormais censé supprimer les doublons tout en proposant une organisation des commentaires. La fonction Blue Light Filter désormais nommée Night Light enrichit sa plage de température avec du 1200K.
Des corrections de bug et un souci avec la version 32-bit
Cette nouvelle « build » propose bien d’autres améliorations dont le détail est disponible en bas de cet article. Il y a aussi des problèmes connus en sachant qu’il s’agit d’une version non stable proposée uniquement au travers de sur l’anneau rapide. Par exemple Microsoft indique qu’un souci touche la version 32-bit de l’OS.
Il est noté à ce sujet
“Nous avons découvert un bug qui a un impact sur notre capacité à proposer cette version pour les PC fonctionnant avec une versions Preview 32-bit de Windows 10. En sachant que la majorité des utilisateurs inscrits sur l’anneau rapide du programme Insider fonctionne avec une build 64-bit, nous avons décidé d’aller de l’avant en bloquant le déploiement de l’itération 32-bit. Nous prévoyons de publier des ISOs de cette construction à la fin de la semaine. Les utilisateurs « Insider » disposant d’un PC avec une version Preview 32-bit de Windows 10 seront en mesure de mettre à niveau leur système »
Microsoft propose en parallèle la correction de plusieurs problèmes. L’un d’entre eux concerne le mode Jeu à l’origine d’un affichage parfois problématique. D’autres s’attaquent au navigateur Edge et ses systèmes de sécurité impéchant le bon fonctionnement de certains services Google.

Known issues for PC
- [UPDATED] IMPORTANT: You may see “Initializing…” when attempting to download this build and the download progress indicator shown when downloading this build may seem broken under Settings > Update & security > Windows Update. It may look like you’re getting stuck at 0% or at other percentages. Ignore the indicator and be patient. The build should download fine, and the installation should kick off. See this forum post for more details.
- While we fixed the primary bug causing this issue, some Windows Insiders may still hit nonstop exceptions in the Spectrum.exe service causing their PC to lose audio, disk I/O usage to become very high, and apps like Microsoft Edge to become unresponsive when doing certain actions such as opening Settings. As a workaround to get out of this state, STOP the Spectrum.exe service and delete C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Spectrum\PersistedSpatialAnchors and reboot. For more details, see this forum post.
- [GAMING] Popular games may experience crashes or black screens when trying to load due to a platform issue. UPDATE: We believe this is fixed!
- [GAMING] Game Mode is enabled system wide by default, however, the ON/OFF toggle in Settings will incorrectly show it as being OFF until the user manually toggles the Setting to ON which will cause it to update and accurately display the status of Game Mode system wide.
- [GAMING] Certain hardware configurations may cause the broadcast live review window in the Game bar to flash Green while you are Broadcasting. This does not affect the quality of your broadcast and is only visible to the Broadcaster.
- Microsoft Edge F12 tools may intermittently crash, hang, and fail to accept inputs.
- Microsoft Edge’s “Inspect Element” and “View Source” options don’t correctly launch to the DOM Explorer and Debugger, respectively.
- Dragging apps from the all apps list to pin on Start’s tile grid won’t work. For now, please right-click on the desired app in order to pin it.
- Some Tencent apps and games may crash or work incorrectly on this build.
- Under Settings > Update & security > Windows Update you might see the text “Some Settings are managed by your organization” even though your PC isn’t being managed by an organization. This is a bug caused by an updated flight configuration setting for Insider Preview builds and does not mean your PC is being managed by anyone.
- On some PCs, audio stops working sporadically with ‘device in use’ error”. We are investigating. Restarting the audio service may fix things for a bit.
- The Action Center may sometimes appear blank and transparent without color. If you encounter this, try moving the taskbar to a different location on screen.
- ADDED: The Desktop App Converter Preview (Project Centennial) will fail to run on the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 15025. If you are a developer utilizing the converter tool to convert your desktop app to UWP, we suggest skipping Build 15025 or switching to the Slow ring until we can fix this issue.
- ADDED: [GAMING] We’re aware of an issue due to a kernel change which may affect some games that use copy protection technologies.
