Windows 10 Insider Build 20211

A new search box is being added to the default apps page in Settings. “After making some updates to help improve performance, this change to enable searching the lists of file types, protocols, and apps when setting a default is now rolling out to all Insiders in the Dev Channel,” writes Microsoft’s Brandon LeBlanc.

Here’s the list of what’s fixed in today’s build:

Fixed an issue where certain 32-bit applications running on a 64-bit OS do not get properly promoted to the discrete GPU for hybrid configurations.We fixed an issue that could result in Start menu tiles continuing to display an “app update in progress” progress bar after an app had already finished updating.We fixed an issue that could result in some of the app icons in Start appearing unexpectedly tiny.We fixed an issue on ARM64 devices resulting in Start crashing on launch the next time it was opened after launching certain apps from Start and then closing them.We fixed an issue that could result in the lock screen hanging.We fixed an issue that could result in ShellExperienceHost.exe hanging.We fixed an issue where hero images weren’t showing up in notifications (for example, when taking a screenshot using WIN + Shift + S).We fixed an issue from the last few flights that could result in Windows update getting stuck while downloading the update.[ADDED] You will no longer get asked to reinstall a .NET update after each flight.
