However, Microsoft explains that build 10136 isn’t completely ready, there is one bug that causes the upgrade to fail for users upgrading from Windows 10 Mobile build 10080, as such the company is only offering the new build for phones running Windows Phone 8.1 and have configured to receive new builds from the Fast ring of updates. The software maker advise any Windows Insider that wants to try the new build to roll back to Windows Phone 8.1 using the Windows Phone Recovery Tool first. Then users can download the Windows Insider app from the Windows Phone Store and configure the phone to the Fast ring of updates again. “This is required because of a migration bug affecting upgrades from 10080 to this build so we are not supporting that upgrade path.” Microsoft explains. Of course, if you’re already running Windows Phone 8.1, simply install the Windows Insider app, register as an Insider, and configure the phone to receive new builds via the Fast ring. In addition, Microsoft says that it’s supper important to note that after the upgrade is done, the Lock screen will appear frozen without date or time. The workaround is to simply wait for about 10 minutes until you see the time and date again, then you can unlock your phone.

Now alerts work, going home and the airport are also enabled again. Additionally, you can ask the digital assistant about weather, current information, stock quotes, and more. Photos and Camera: There are also a few new changes in the Photos app, tap on a month to get a list of months and jump to photos taken in past.

One-handed use: For users using a phone with a 5-inch or greater display, Microsoft is making easier to use the phone with one hand. Press and hold the Start button and the screen will slide down to reach items at the top of the screen.
