Windows 10 Insider Build 14931 will let users send SMS via Skype, and more
Microsoft has recently announced the Windows 10 Preview Build 14931 for Windows Insiders for PC. The update is now live for download for users in the Windows Insider programme. It brings fewer new updates, but brings in a lot of app updates.
Some notable updates that come with the update include dark mode, settings page for Feedback Hub and feedback author in feedback details. It is now possible to send ‘SMS’ via Skype preview if the app is selected as the default messaging app. It will also be possible to send MMS through Skype.
There is now native support for USB Audio 2.0 devices with an inbox class driver. Windows 10 Maps app with its updated version (5.1609.2580.0+) now allows traffic info to be checked at any time by users. The updated Maps app also allows users to set a light or dark mode for the app, and also allows the user to change themes.
Fixes with the new build include addressing the issue that caused some users to experience a black screen when signing out and switching to a different user account. The new build has also fixed the issue of built-in apps like Alarms & Clock, Voice Recorder and Calculator not working properly in the previously build.
“We are continuing to investigate two issues that came up with last week’s flight of Build 14926 for Mobile. After upgrading to Build 14926, some Insiders reported that the pin pad is no longer visible to unlock their phone even after rebooting the phone and some phones lost the ability to use their SIM card. In both cases, a hard reset of resolves the issue,” the Windows team said in a blog post.

The new update brings reminders for build expiration. Starting October 1, PCs that are running older builds will start rebooting every three hours, and by October 15 – if the user has not upgraded, the PCs will stop working altogether.

Windows 10 Now Running on 400 Million Active Devices, Says Microsoft...
Microsoft had set an ambitious goal for itself of having Windows 10 running on 1 billion active devices by FY18 at the launch of its software platform. However, back in July, the company acknowledged that due to lack of traction in its smartphone business, it might take longer to achieve this target. Now, the company officials have reportedly said that Windows 10 is currently running on 400 million active devices.
According to a report by ZDNet, at Microsoft's Ignite conference in Atlanta, company's officials said that Windows 10 was running on 400 million active devices as on September 26. To recall, Microsoft had announced Windows 10 was on 300 million active devices back in May.
It should be noted that "active devices" are only those devices that have been active during last 28 days. The devices included in this figure are not just computers but also tablets, smartphones, Xbox One consoles, and Holo Lens headsets.
The figures arguably cannot be termed as very impressive, as Microsoft offered Windows 10 as a free upgrade for users who were on previous versions of Windows till one year after its launch.
The officials further said that Windows Insider Preview users that are working with early Windows 10 "Redstone 2" builds should soon get a new Edge browser security feature, that is, container-based isolation in the browser. The feature, which was earlier codenamed Barcelona, has now been named 'Windows Defender Application Guard'.
Windows Defender Application Guard will essentially isolate potentially malicious code in containers in order to prevent it from spreading across company networks as per ZDNet report.
