Known issues

While we appreciate all feedback, please remember that we offer no official support for beta \ preview \ developer channel versions of Windows. If you report issues while in any of those early release channels, you should not expect them to be addressed unless it still exists in a retail version of Windows.

There is a little irritating bug that I have noticed some versions back, now that most seem fixed maybe you can take a look. 

Taskbar small (though I think it does not matter) and resized more than 3 lines high. Right click on the battery icon, the "power and settings" flyout that opens cannot be clicked on. The sound settings (right click on the sound icon) can be clicked with a taskbar resized 3-4 lines up, not higher than that, same for the right click on the wifi icon, "network and internet settings" cannot be clicked, strangely enough "perform speed test" can. I discovered now the other bugs, my main issue was changing the battery settings while switching from a multiscreen setup to the one screen laptop setup where I had to resize the taskbar higher and change quickly the power settings.
