Windows 10 builds are rough versions, which means that Insiders should expect to encounter various issues after installing them. Windows 10 build 15002 is no exception and also brings issues of its own. In this article, we’re going to list the most frequently encountered Windows 10 build 15002 bugs as reported by Insiders. In this manner, you’ll know what to expect and you won’t be taken by surprise should you experience any of them.

Windows 10 build 15002 reported issues

Windows 10 build 15002 won’t download

Some Insiders can’t even download build 15002 due to error 0x80070057. This is actually an old Windows Update error and fortunately there are workarounds available to fix it. We suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps listed in our article on how to fix error 0x80070057 and then try to install the latest Windows 10 build again.

Build 15002 install fails, followed by GSOD

Insiders now have the chance to experience the new Windows 10 Green Screen of Death, although we’re sure this is not something you’d particularly want to see in the new build. After the first reboot into the upgrade to 15002, computers remain stuck at the Windows logo screen for a few minutes. Then, the GSOD appears with an error message related to driver issues. Try updating your drivers before installing the latest Windows 10 build and see if this fixes the problem.

Taskbar programs are unresponsive

Insiders report that build 15002 removes the programs previously installed on the taskbar on two-monitor systems. Moreover, the programs that do remain there (Start button, Cortana, Task View, and Date and Time) are unresponsive. The only manner to quickly access your programs is to create desktop shortcuts. SPONSORED Disconnecting the second monitor and rebooting your system usually fixes this problem. Still, this bug can be quite annoying especially if you really need to use your two monitors at the same time.

Build 15002 breaks certain programs

Insiders also report that build 15002 breaks a series of programs, such as Quicken 2017, Windows Explorer and the Start menu. More specifically, Quicken 2017 won’t start on build 15002 and displays an error message informing users that Net framework 4.6.1 is not installed. Reinstalling Quicken 2017 and .Net 4.6.1 framework doesn’t fix the problem, either. The same is valid for Windows Explorer and the Start menu, except for the error message. Users confirm that any attempts to access Windows Explorer, the Start menu or Settings through alternative means is unsuccessful.

Websites won’t load in Edge

Windows 10 build 15002 brings a long list of new features and improvements to Microsoft Edge. As a quick reminder, Edge now blocks untrusted Flash content by default, offering users the option to explicitly choose to play it. However, this new feature may also cause various issues on particular websites. One of the side effects are evident: Insiders report that Facebook won’t run under Edge. The page opens, starts to load and then displays an error page. This issue could indeed be related to the new Flash-blocking feature, but the good news is that Facebook runs fine on other browsers, such as Chrome and Internet Explorer. Other users also confirm that Edge loads, but shows only the toolbar and won’t populate any websites. Pages are completely blank where the web page should show. There are the most common build 15002 issues reported by Insiders so far.
