These are the new features of the new build 10061 of Windows 10 Technical Preview

Microsoft steps on the accelerator of its Insider program, and if a new build for Windows 10 mobile phones was released yesterday, today it was the turn of the new build 10061 for laptops and desktop computers, which arrived this morning via Fast Ring just a couple of weeks after the previous build 10049 was released.

As usual in each of the new builds in Microsoft's rapid update ring, Windows 10 receives with this a good number of new features and improvements that we will now begin to break down, but also a good repertoire of problems and bugs that the members of the Insider program will have to face.

These are the news

This new build comes with a good repertoire of novelties, among which we can find some new mail and calendar applications, which arrive with a refreshing facelift in its interface, and include a repertoire of gestural actions that we can configure and a quick scroll between them.

We've also got a new dark system theme, as well as some long-awaited improvements to a Start menu, taskbar, and action centerNow we can determine the color of these three elements, as well as some transparencies that, by the way, will finally be present when we decide to change the size of the Start menu.

The power off option has moved, and is now located at the bottom left of the Start menu.The improvements have also reached a Continuum better optimized for tablets, a Task View with visual improvements, and some virtual desktops that we can now create as many as we want, even when we reach the visual limit of the screen.

In addition to the news, this new build has also brought corrections for the indexing problem of new Outlook emails, a Hyper-V that is now already can be enabled and those errors that caused Visual Studio to crash when starting to create a Universal App project.

These are the known bugs of the build

When someone updates the Windows 10 preview through the fast ring, they know that they are exposed to a certain number of bugs and bugs, many of which are well known to Microsoft. Next you have the menu of the day with the list of errors of the new build 10061 of Windows 10 that those of Redmond already know that we will find:

• Win32 application cannot be launched from the Start menu.
• The Shop (beta) and Spartan are unpinned after update.

• Music download doesn't work on Xbox Music and Music Preview.
• When minimizing an application with audio, this audio will stop.
