Today Microsoft released Insider Preview Build 17025, which includes new Ease of Access Settings, the ability to see tasks in UWP programs that were configured to auto-start, and an updated Microsoft Yahei font.
Bugs were fixed and minor enhancements were implemented. Those who hated the Yahei font are happy to see improvements! The details are below.
Wondering what’s new in the latest Windows 10 release? Here are some of the highlights.
Your needs are unique. That’s why we added new settings that you can use to make your device easier to use, accessible and suited for your needs. In the Ease of Access section in Settings, you’ll see a list of all these newly-added settings that help you interact with your computer via voice commands, audio descriptions and more.
Did you know that there are helpful settings in the Ease of Access section that make it easier to use your computer? For example, you can easily adjust the display text size and increase contrast.
Fulfillment company Vodafone Italy experienced a data breach after being hacked by an unauthorized reseller.
In this flight we’ve updated the Advanced options under Settings > Apps & Features so that UWP apps that are configured to run at startup now have a new option to see all available tasks specified by the app developer and their status.
When you launch an app configured to start up automatically, there won’t be any confusion about what tasks are in store for that particular app. We’ve made the update so that your UWP apps will now show all available tasks on the Advanced settings tab in Settings > Apps & Features.
We’d like to take this opportunity to announce an update to the Microsoft Yahei Font with this Windows Insider build. After hearing feedback from our Insiders in China, we’ve made changes to improve legibility, consistency, and appearance.
Some notable improvements include:
We’ve created three new weights for Microsoft Yahei: Semilight, Semibold, and Heavy. They will be downloaded as an optional feature in non-ZH-CN builds, and will set as the default weight in ZH-CN builds.

In order to improve readability, we’ve increased the size of glyphs. This makes reading easier and improves character recognition.
We tuned the fonts with our new hinting algorithm to make sure glyphs are smoother and less jagged at small sizes.
Our customers have told us that they prefer the new punctuation and symbols, so we’ve redesigned them to be compatible with the new fonts.

As our design team is planning the new build, we are eager for feedback about how your display language looks. We’ll make notes on any needed changes and provide more information as soon as it’s available.
This is a quick update made to adjust the general features of Windows.
In this update, we’re continuing to pursue Fluent Design. Along with these changes, you’ll find that Reveal is enabled by default in CalendarView (i.e., the Clock and Calendar flyout). UWP apps leveraging the Preview SDK for this update or later will see these changes automatically.
We corrected an issue that would cause Desktop Mode to appear unavailable if you RDP into a PC running this build with certain GPU configurations and then sign in locally.
We’ve found a bug in the last version that caused touch feedback to show up corrupted, with strange artifacts. This is fixed in this update.
We fixed an issue that caused USHOP paths to not be recognized when input using the touch keyboard with the Japanese layout.
To help you find what you need faster, if you are typing with the Japanese IME into Internet Explorer’s address bar or search box, we’ll now display a dropdown of suggestions while you’re typing. So you won’t have to wait until the string is committed to see what’s available.
With the latest version of Windows 10, we’ve fixed two potential issues. First, if you launched an app in a small window (for example Groove Music) in mini mode, the taskbar would appear on top of a remote desktop session. Second, if you launched an app using Cortana while playing a game fullscreen on another monitor, the taskbar might appear on top of the game.
We fixed an issue that prevented Start from scrolling to the bottom when in tablet mode on smaller devices.
A recent update has fixed an issue where mouse input in Start might become offset.
We fixed an issue where, even if Windows is clean installed while offline, the default Start screen tiles might still show white arrows rather than the expected icons.
We’ve fixed a bug that caused the “Pin to Start” option to appear even if you right-clicked a folder that was already pinned.
We’ve fixed the problem where you might be prompted to enter your password twice when logging into Windows in an Enhanced Session Mode.
We fixed an issue where toggling between certain DX9/DX10/DX11 games in windowed or fullscreen mode (for example, by using Alt + Tab) would result in the game becoming mostly black on certain PCs.
We fixed an issue that was causing Insiders with x86 PCs to experience a blue screen when upgrading to the previous flight.
We fixed an error in Windows 10 when Insiders who used restore points experienced a volsnap.sys Green Screen error on boot.
We’ve resolved the issue that would cause Microsoft Edge to take an unexpectedly long time to load a new page after clicking on certain links, making it appear “hung.”
We identified and fixed an issue that would cause Microsoft Edge to be slow and unresponsive when tabbing through certain controls with certain screen readers active.
We’ve resolved an issue with Delivery Optimization settings where they were unexpectedly disabled in the last flight.
We’ve added support for Courier New to this page. Some users may have experienced issues with displaying the number 2.
Improved the Yu Gothic Bold font by focusing on consistent baseline alignment and clarity of various Kana characters.
Common Problems
If you’re facing broken functionality with Mail, Cortana, Narrator, or missing some benefits like Windows Media Player, we recommend checking out this Feedback Hub post: https://feedback.microsoft.com/forums/forum/sysreq-problems/.
For now you’ll need to use the clear all button or the mouse.
Screen flicker is noticeable when using either hotkeys or touchpad to switch between virtual desktops.
This can happen when you invoke the Game bar with Win + G on Windows. Keyboard navigation will still work and pressing Win + G again will close the Game bar, restoring the mouse cursor to the game.
If you notice missing calendar toast dismiss and snooze icons from your notifications, that may be because Action Center only supports ongoing or non-recurring appointments.
