New Windows 10 build squashes bugs ahead of Anniversary Update

Microsoft has released a new preview build of Windows 10 for PC and mobile to users enrolled in the Insider program. Build 14372 is largely concerned with making preparations for July’s Anniversary Update, taking care of some of the issues raised by the recent Bug Bash event.

The blog post detailing the new build states the Bug Bash carried out in June to garner feedback was an enormous success. Apparently, over 80,000 pieces of feedback and up-votes were collected, and users completed more than 70,000 “quests” testing out individual features and situations.

The issues raised by this research are fed back to the team at Redmond, which can attempt to make changes to rectify any problems. The team’s handiwork is then distributed to users who are enrolled in the Insider program before being rolled out to the masses — the bulk of the changes made in build 13472 are tweaks made thanks to Bug Bash feedback.

However, there is one notable addition of new functionality that will be pertinent to anyone who uses Edge as their web browser. Microsoft is continuing its steady rollout of extensions to the software, with a new utility that should prove very useful to the many users who rely on Evernote.

Evernote users are already able to use its Web Clipper extension on Firefox and Chrome, and now that same functionality will be available as part of Microsoft Edge. The utility allows users to clip individual web pages and save them to the Evernote app for later reading or reference.

To try out the Evernote Web Clipper, head to the extensions page located on the Microsoft Edge Developer website. However, you’ll need to be on build 14372 of Windows 10 before you can use the extension, which is currently being distributed to Insider program members who are part of the Fast ring for updates.

Many were hoping that Windows 10 might still get another lease on life, but alas -- that doesn't seem to be the case. Microsoft has just started sending out emails to users who are still running Windows 10, and those emails make it quite clear that the end-of-life (EOL) period of the beloved operating system is coming to an end. Microsoft's advice? Upgrade to Windows 11 ASAP.

Windows Latest received an email from Microsoft, titled: "End of support for Windows -- what you need to know." This message was likely sent out to many more users, and may keep popping into people's mailboxes as Microsoft keeps rolling out the alert.

The latest Windows 11 build has a surprising bug — it gets rid of Copilot

Microsoft has updated the support page for the Windows 11 build it released last week to reveal a rather amusing bug -- it seems to have caused some devices to automatically uninstall the Copilot app and unpin it from the taskbar.

At the time of writing, Microsoft is still working on a resolution to the issue spotted by Windows Latest, recommending affected users reinstall the app and pin it back to the taskbar manually. It looks like the bug can occur on any device if it updates to build KB5053598 from Windows 11 24H2, 23H2, or 22H2, along with Windows 10 22H2 or 21H2.

It appears more and more Windows 10 users may be finally ready to let go of the legacy operating system ahead of the end of its life status on October 14. Microsoft has been urging system users to update to the latest Windows 11 software before that date and after months of ignoring the call, tens of millions of users are now opting in to the update.

Figures from StatCounter indicate that the percentage of Windows 10 usage has now dipped below 60% for the first time with 58.7% of global users running the system as of February 2025. Meanwhile, stats for Windows 11 are slowly creeping up toward 40% with 38.2% of global users running this version of Microsoft’s OS.
