June Bug Bash
As the day for the release of the Windows Anniversary Update draws closer, the team is laser focused to squash any many bugs as possible. And this means that you as an user will receive significant feature updates on a regular basis.
And with this update, Microsoft is also kicking off the Windows 10 Anniversary Update June Bug Bash.
The bug bash is an important part of Windows culture reports Sarkar in the blogpost. This gives the internal team a chance to make teams, find bugs and bond over the experience. And this time the company is giving the Insiders a chance to be a part of the quest too.
Over the course of next four days, the team will also be publishing multiple quests inside Feedback Hub that will highlight different areas of the product. And the users are requested to look into that product feature and provide feedback on the same. The quest has further been divided into two phases:
- LIMITED TIME Quests will expire within 24 hours of being published, so make sure to catch them before they get replaced with the next one.
- ADVANCED Quests are more technical and may require changing the system configuration to perform the task. So, an understanding of system settings is a must, else you’ll need to troubleshoot your PC.
So, go on Insiders — have a great time helping the team identify bugs and providing feedback on the same. And if you’re interested in knowing more about what has been fixed and removed in this build, read the blogpost here.
