Windows 10 build 16291 reported bugs

Build 12691 install fails

If you can’t install build 12691 on your PC, you’re not the only one: many usersreportedthat the install process often crashes during the reboot phase.

I cannot install RS3 16291 install ’cause it crash at 6% during the “reboot” phase.I’ll try to clean Windows update/software distribution and try again. !

Other Insidersreportedthaterror 0x80070057prevents them from installing the latest builds. The only way to fix this error it to clean install Windows and then download and install the build again.

EVERY insider release since 14.x on my Surface pro4 I get this bleeding bip error…. ( Error 0x80070057 )It ends up with me having ALWAYS to fresh install windows and delete all apps and more.. then it will install.. It is VERY frustrating to say the least!!!And I have tried every troubleshooting on the internet… WHY can’t MS fix this!!!

Touch keyboard language settings issues

Full XAML touch keyboard support for all languages is still unavailable. Also,the swipe featureworks smoothly with US English keyboards only.

When can we expect the full XAML touch keyboards for all languages with a keyboard? There is still after all this time no full keyboard for Myanmar script.When can we expect swipe to work for keyboards other than US English? It still fails to work for English (Australian) and isn’t even available for English (International), let alone other languages

Builds resets Windows user settings

Many userscomplainthat the build resets user settings:

After the update to build 16288 and 16291 all user settings have been reset to default. It is as if the user logs in for the first time after a fresh windows install. This also occurred after the update to build 16291 (from 16288). This never occurred in past insider builds. Anyone else had the same experience?Update: I installed build 16291 on 2 PC’s and on one PC the user settings were saved, while on the other PC the user settings got reset.

Black screen issues

The latest Windows 10 builds causesblack screen issuesfor many users, and build 16291 is no exception.

The last three builds, when I’ve tried to update, have booted to a black screen with cursor, after the first update reboot. […] I quickly see a window pop up and disappear before no further progress is made. Then I have to hard reboot. In the upgrade version, it gives me a Safe_OS installation phase failure error.
