We fixed an issue resulting in text not rendering on the screen if you had a large number of OTF fonts, or had OTF fonts that support the extended East Asian character set.

We fixed an issue where the expected context menu wouldn’t appear after right-clicking on a folder in File Explorer from a network location.
Some Insiders may notice small differences in File Explorer over the coming flights – we’ll have more to share later about this later.
We fixed an issue resulting in the home page of Settings having no visible scrollbar in recent flights if the window was small enough to need one.
We’re updating the icon used to identify the Region page in Settings.

We fixed an issue where Settings would crash if you were typing in the search box with the embedded handwriting panel and went to switch languages within the panel.

The touch keyboard’s feature to input a period after two quick taps on the spacebar was recently also accidentally enabled when typing with the hardware keyboard and has now been disabled.
We’ve made some adjustments to improve the performance of WIN+Shift+S bringing up snipping.

We fixed an issue resulting in some Insiders experiencing bug checks (green screens) with the error KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED on the previous flight.
