I have tried various apps, programs and pages and cannot find any problems....yet??

9860 build is worst update. don't want "pc setting" as pc user. remove pc setting completely and improve control panel. in fact i don't want metro interface for pc. network/wifi has gone worst ever. Very Disappointing from Microsoft. :( I disagree! The Start Menu and old ways of doing things like through the Control Panel need to go! I like the Metro UI and wish there wasn't a hybrid mess of both.

I installed the new build, and I lost fonts, reply, forward buttons in Outlook. Tried everything to solve the problem, nothing worked, so I had to reinstall the old 9841 build.

Yes, just upgraded to build 9860 and I also have this issue with the missing on-screen characters. I've only noticed this in the modern apps and IE so far. It looks like the font being used is not displayed correctly. Haven't tested it on AMD yet though. Very weird. Yes, same here, updated automatically and have missing characters in IE and Windows Feedback App Fixed with the 2 updates Windows Update: KB3010668 & KB3008956. Had to do it manually

You will get an update to Windows 10 Technical Preview soon
