Today Microsoft released the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10565 to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring. This build includes a bunch of new features and improvements that include Skype integration, tap preview in Microsoft Edge, and improvements to Cortana.

Microsoft Edge now has Tab Preview, which allows you to preview content on other tabs by hovering over them.

 

Some of the new features also include Cortana improvements such as its ability to understand inked notes that you write in.  Cortana is now able to intelligently discern keywords such as locations, times, and dates.

Cortana

Below are the issues that have been fixed from previous builds:

  • You should no longer see a warning message in the Settings app > Update & Security > Windows Update regarding changed ring settings for preview builds unless you actually change your ring settings.

  • Background audio playback works again when apps like Groove are minimized.

  • We fixed the issue where clicking on the system icons in the notification area quickly results in Windows Shell blocking the launch of fly-outs like Audio, Networking, etc.

  • After Build 10525, we heard a lot of feedback that some context menus were too big for mouse. We’ve made adjustments to many of the context menus to make them smaller for using them with a mouse.

  • You can now pin contacts to the Start menu from the People app.

  • Certain apps won’t appear twice anymore when pinned to the taskbar.

  • Hiding desktop icons via context menu on the desktop now works.

  • Windows Store apps should now be updating automatically.

Currently Known issues:

  • The search box does not work if you are in a locale where Cortana is not available. We are currently investigating workarounds.

  • The Xbox app for Windows 10 will consume gigabytes of memory on your PC if you have any Win32 games (non -Windows Store games) installed on your PC that have been identified as games or added by you in the Xbox app. Closing the Xbox app will release your PC’s memory.

  • WebM and VP9 have been temporarily removed from the flight builds. We continue to develop a VP9 implementation that we intend to ship in Windows. Expect VP9 to return soon in a future release.

  • Small form-factor devices, like the Dell Venue 8 Pro, that boot with rotation or virtual mode screen size set larger than the physical screen size will experience a bluescreen on upgrade and will roll back to the previous build.
