The Windows 10 build 20257 is now rolling out in the Dev Channel of the Windows Insider Program. This is the preview number 47 that Microsoft is making available for testers, and it’s a small update that only includes fixes and minor changes expected to arrive in future releases.
Build 20257, according to the official changelogs, updates the logic of the Start menu tile to prevent the background of desktop apps from adjusting based on the calculated contrast ratio. However, this will not affect pinned web apps from Microsoft Edge.
In addition, this flight addresses a slew of problems, including secondary storage becoming inaccessible after installing games from the Microsoft Store, Blue Screen of Death with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error, File Explorer transparent line on multi monitor setups, traditional desktop apps with unexpected highlight in the title, and disk cleanup issue that prevented the complete deletion of the Windows.old folder.
Furthermore, Windows 10 build 20257 also fixes problems with Reset this PC, Windows Hello Face, unexpected processor usage, links failing to open web browser, audio playback unexpectedly stopping, and audio with Bluetooth headsets.
Microsoft is listing the complete set of improvements, fixes, and known issues for Windows 10 Insider Preview build 20257 at the Windows Blog.
