Microsoft has started to roll out yet another Windows 10 Preview Build from the Redstone 4 branch to Insiders on the Fast ring – its second this week. As we get closer to the public release of this upcoming Windows 10 version, there are fewer updates and more fixes coming in. However, the company still has to address a number of issues.
Before getting too excited about this new Preview, please know that today’s Windows 10 Redstone 4 Build 17112 could completely break Microsoft Store or it might just get disappeared altogether. The Redmond software maker has shared a workaround to this particular issue in this thread. For everything else, check out this complete changelog.

Windows Mixed Reality
There are two issues impacting the usability of Windows Mixed Reality on this build. Windows Mixed Reality runs at a very low frame rate (8-10fps) that could result in some physical discomfort. And there are multiple crashes at startup that will cause Windows Mixed Reality to not work. For Insiders who want to keep Windows Mixed Reality working – you might want to consider hitting pause on taking new Insider Preview builds until these issues are fixed. You can pause Insider Preview builds by going to Settings Update Security Windows Insider Program and pressing the “Stop Insider Preview builds” button and choosing “Pause updates for a bit”.
