Known issues:

  • 26151: Occasionally, some users experience loss of audio when playing long streaming videos. Rebooting the system restores audio.
  • 26731: When accessibility (verbal feedback) is enabled, viewing different pages causes the CPU usage to go to 100%. Restarting the machine resolves the issue temporarily. Workaround: Disable accessibility with audio feedback.
