Microsoft has rolled out Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17112 (RS4) to Insider fast ring, which brings general bug fixes and improvements, among others. Microsoft recommends Insider users who want to keep Windows Mixed Reality working to pause the Insider Preview builds untill issues are fixed. Thanks to these issues, the Windows Mixed Reality runs at a very low frame rate of 8-10 fps. Others problems include multiple crashes at startup, causing Windows Mixed Reality not to work. The Insider Preview builds can be paused by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program. Next press the ‘Stop Insider Preview builds’ button and choose ‘Pause updates for a bit’ option.

It is important to note that the Microsoft Store may be completely broken or disappear after upgrading to the build. It is advised to read Microsoft’s forum post for a workaround on how to get the Microsoft Store back. Other common issues reported include, PC bugcheck (GSOD) when users try to open a file that is available online-only from OneDrive that hasn’t been previously downloaded to their PC, OS failing to load properly post-update, etc.
