As this is a minor, system-improving build, it brings no new features to Insiders. Therefore, one would expect it also brings no new issues to those who installed it. But that’s not exactly the case. Windows 10 Preview build 16278 actually causes a few problems to Insiders. So, if you still haven’t installed the new build, keep reading this article to find out what’s going on.

Windows 10 Preview build 16278 reported problems

Installation fails

We start with the most common issue of Windows 10 Preview builds, of course. A couple of reported on the forums that due to various causes and error codes. Here’s what some of them said on the forums: As usual, we don’t have the concrete solution for any of these problems (neither do Microsoft Engineers). But we can recommend checking our articles about Windows 10 errors, or running the WUReset script.

Wi-Fi network disappears (and failed update)

Another installation issue that’s more serious than others is the one that causes users’ Wi-Fi network to disappear. Namely, Insider said on the forums that the new build failed to install, making his Wi-Fi network to disappear: Unfortunately, nobody had a proper solution for this issue.

Edge slowed down

NumLock issues

One Insider reported on the forums that he’s unable to use NumLock on his keyboard after installing this build. Once again, the only thing we can recommend is checking our article about NumLock issues in Windows 10, but we can’t guarantee any of our workarounds will work in this case.

Printer issues

And finally, one user reported the problem with his HP printer. Here’s what he said: Other Insiders had no proper solution for this error, and what else could we do besides recommending you to check out our article about issues with HP printers in Windows 10. That’s about it, as you can see this build isn’t as troublesome as some of the previous releases. But that’s more or less expected, since this is a minor system-stabilizing build.
