Windows 10

Windows 10 build 18234 (RS6) est disponible, quoi de neuf ?

Microsoft vient de mettre en ligne une nouvelle version de Redstone 6, la prochaine mise à niveau de Windows 10. Elle est prévue pour le printemps 2019.

Cette build 18234 est une “Preview” proposée aux utilisateurs du programment Windows Insider ayant souscrits à l’option Skip Ahead.  Elle s’accompagne de petits changements et d’une longue liste de corrections de bug. Il n’y a pas de grandes révolutions.

La démarche est logique puisque le développement de Redstone 6 ne fait que commencer. Il va s’accélérer progressivement et prendre de l’ampleur dès le déploiement public de Redstone 5 en octobre prochain.

Windows 10 Build 18234, les nouveautés

En attendant Windows 10 Build 18234 propose quelques nouveautés à commencer par une mise à jour de « To-Do » désormais proposé en version 1.39.1808.31001.

Microsoft To-Do

Le prise de note et l’ajout de nouvelles tâches devraient se monter plus naturelles avec un stylet.

Annoncé par Microsoft la semaine dernière, Sticky Notes 3.0 est également de la partie ainsi que de nouveaux réglages pour Snip & Sketch.

Le passage à la version 10.1807.2286.0 apporte de nouveau « Snip delay ».

Snip & Sketch

Le géant explique

« Il y avait un bug dans Build 18219 qui bloquait le fonctionnement du bouton New […] vous trouverez maintenant les options «Snip now», «Snip in 3 seconds» et «Snip in 10 seconds. Si l’application est ouverte ou épinglée sur votre barre des tâches, vous pouvez également cliquer avec le bouton droit sur l’icône de la barre des tâches pour obtenir ces options. Elles ont été ajoutées à la liste de raccourcis »

A tout ceci s’ajoute d’autres petites choses ici et là dont les détails sont disponible ci-dessous. Cette version de Redstone 6 s’accompagne de problèmes connus et non corrigés.

  • Thanks everyone who tried out and shared feedback about the performance visualizations we added to the game bar with Build 17692. We’re taking them offline for now to re-evaluate the best possible approach going forward and work on giving you a great gaming experience on your PC.
  • We fixed an issue in Narrator so when toggling a checkbox with a braille display and Narrator, the displayed state is now updated and the control information is maintained on the display.

Known issues

  • When you use the Ease of Access Make Text bigger setting, you might see text clipping issues, or find that text is not increasing in size everywhere.
  • When using Narrator Scan mode Shift + Selection commands in Edge, the text does not get selected properly.
  • Narrator sometimes does not read in the Settings app when you navigate using Tab and arrow keys. Try switching to Narrator Scan mode temporarily. And when you turn Scan mode off again, Narrator will now read when you navigate using Tab and arrows key. Alternatively, you can restart Narrator to work around this issue.
  • This build fixes a general issue resulting in links that launched one app from another app not working in the last flights for some Insiders, however there’s one specific variant of this that will still not work in today’s build: Clicking on web links in PWAs such as Twitter doesn’t open the browser. We’re working on a fix.
  • You may notice the background of notifications and the Action Center lose color and become transparent (with an acrylic effect). We’re aware that for notifications this can make them difficult to read and appreciate your patience as we work on a fix.
  • [ADDED] You may not be able to resize the Task Manager window on this build.

Known issues 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.
