My Windows 10 test computer just upgraded itself to the latest Insider Preview build, 11099.

I’m now on what Microsoft calls the ‘Fast Ring’, which means that I get new Windows 10 builds almost immediately after they become available. One of the drawbacks of this scheme is that these early builds tend to have more problems than regular releases. For me, that’s acceptable, because my test PC is not used for much aside from testing. I wouldn’t try this on my main computer.

The first thing I noticed about the new build is that the File Explorer progress dialogs are back. Those dialogs disappeared in the last build, which wasn’t a huge problem, but it was disconcerting.

The only other difference I’ve noticed in this build is a weird error message that pops up when Windows starts. There’s additional information, including a couple of possible fixes, over at Neowin.

I’ll post updates here as I work with the new version.
