Known issue in Build 14283:
-
Bluetooth AVRCP profile on mobile has been updated to version 1.5. Some cars may only tell Windows what they support while pairing. So for this update to take effect, one has to delete existing Bluetooth pairing and re-pair.
-
Microsoft Band 1 or 2 paired to your phone will no longer sync after updating to this build due to a system API failure that occurs after the update. As a workaround, one can temporarily change language of your phone. Or one can reset the phone to come out of this state.This issue impacts Skype audio and video calls too.
-
Issue of Gadgets app not able to detect the Microsoft Display Dock on phones running Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview builds is still under investigation. A dock already updated to version 4 will not be affected.
-
Connectivity to older Wi-Fi networks using the WEP encryption security method may be broken. A workaround is to use more secured WPA or WPA2. It will be fixed in the next build.
Announcing the new build, Gabe Aul said, Microsoft plans to expand to other devices once Windows 10 mobile is release to other devices.
