Microsoft is rolling out today the Windows 10 Insider build 15048 to PC users on the Fast Ring, and this latest preview build brings several fixes and improvements but no new features. The most important highlights are a fix for a bug that prevented users from typing into search boxes in certain UWP apps, and PC gamers will also happy to learn that some popular games will no longer minimize to the taskbar when launched.
You can read the full list of other changes and improvements below:
