Not too long ago, Microsoft released the Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9926 which introduced a handful of new features including the much-awaited Cortana for desktop as well as an improved Start menu and much more. However, it doesn’t mean that the operating system is free of bugs, trust me, there are still a handful of them, which is one of the reasons why the company is testing it with most people.
Earlier today, the software giant released an update for Windows 10 which comes with several improvements and bug fixes on board, 18 to be exact. The update brings a handful of improvements and fixed bugs such as the malfunctioning Start Menu, the new Store (beta) shortcut doesn’t appear in the taskbar, and many more. Here’s the complete list of changes introduced with the latest update:
