Just before everyone starts to complain about the win32 app launch issue;

Here are some known issues for this build

• We know this one will be a bit painful but there is a bug with this build in which Win32 (desktop) apps won’t launch from the Start menu. The workaround is to use search to find and launch these apps and pin them to your taskbar for quick access.
• The Windows Store Beta (grey tile) and Project Spartan get unpinned after upgrading. You can re-pin them to your Taskbar from All apps on your Start menu.
• The version of the Mail and Calendar apps included in this build (17.4008.42281.0) have a known issue that causes every typed letter to appear twice. Which might be funny if it weren’t so irritating. We have fixed this issue with updated versions of the apps (17.4016.42291.0) available in the Windows Store Beta (grey tile). If you don’t open the Mail and Calendar apps within the first 15 minutes after logging in to your device for the first time after upgrading and your device is connected to the Internet, the apps should update automatically. You can also go into the Store Beta and check for updates manually at any time.
• Cortana will highlight things it will be able to help users with, but some of these features are not yet implemented and we are working to deliver them soon.
• There is a known issue where you might see a black screen with only your mouse cursor during login/logout. We have a fix for this coming via WU.
• Downloading music in the Xbox Music and Music Preview apps is currently broken. We also have a fix for this coming via WU.
• When you minimize an app playing audio, it may stop playing once its minimized.
• In Project Spartan, no selection highlight appears when selecting text in the address box. You can right click in the address box to cut/copy/paste and it will work as expected. We also have a fix for this coming via WU.
• Magnifier does not work when you put it into docked mode. We will also have a fix for this coming via WU.

"a known issue that causes every typed letter to appear twice. Which might be funny if it weren’t so irritating."

Good to see someone with a little real world thinking writing the release info.

Shame that in Mail, Microsoft still haven't figured out that many people want to "Archive" by default, not delete. Please add this Microsoft.

I think this might be a new addition to updates "for developers". When I click it, modern control panel crashes.

How is the scrolling in IE

Sigh. Got to the library nice and early and now i'm just sat updating windows guess i could do some reading while i wait. Sounds like there are some mighty annoying bugs this time.

edit: Hopefully the antimalware service executable finishes doing whatever it is it is doing. Sat there using all my cpu and making the fan go wild for about half an hour now. Other than that it looks quite nice. Don't like having the start menu power button where it is though. And why do they continue to remove the "all apps" button when start menu is in full screen?

Does calendar let you look at colleagues' calendars if you are using exchange?

I am totally digging dark mode and some of the UI updates. Saw the posts here about 61 right before going to bed and was happy to see my Surface installed it last night. I am having issues moving things around in the start menu, very jumpy.

Annoying every time we get a new build that Outlook indexing is lost, has to be re-indexed. I live in e-mail all day and not being able to search for things is a pain.

Flighting uses hard-linking and technically is doing a clean install with each build then restores the User State...
