Dev channel update to 86.0.587.0 is live

Hello Insiders!  Today we’re releasing build 86.0.587.0 to the Dev channel.  This is the first release for version 86, and there’s a lot to talk about in it!  But first, there’s a lot to talk about outside of it too: 

• First, we’ve got a roundup of all the biggest announcements from Inspire:  https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2020/07/21/whats-new-in-microsoft-edge-july-2020-microsoft-inspire-edition.  It covers enterprise features like our upcoming support for Endpoint Data Loss Prevention, mobile features like the release of Collections on iOS and Android, and more. 
• Next, we’ve got an in-depth look at our work on quieter website notifications, which rolled out to Stable with the release of version 84:  https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/07/23/reducing-distractions-quiet-notification-requests.  It also contains some best practices for how website developers can use notifications. 
• For enterprise users, we announced the enterprise road map and release schedule:  https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/07/23/introducing-enterprise-roadmap-release-schedule. 
• Finally, for Windows Insiders, we’ve got a preview of some upcoming Windows integration features:  https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/07/22/multitasking-improvements-windows-10-microsoft-edge.  If you’re running a Windows Insider build, you can try out the ability to see Edge tabs in the alt+tab list or see previews of running websites that are pinned to the Taskbar.  Note that these features are under a controlled rollout, so not all users may see them yet.

• Fixed an issue where options to change the browser’s theme and zoom are missing from Settings. 
• Fixed an issue where the website’s protocol (http://, https://, etc.) is hidden in the address bar and only appears when interacting with it.  Note that this behavior can be restored via a flag if desired.

• Removed the ability to pin a site to the Taskbar from within an Application Guard window since the functionality is broken. 

Known issues: 

• Users with certain hardware are seeing changes in scrolling behavior that are unintended.  For example, pages scroll much faster than they used to.  We’re currently investigating. 
• Attempting to watch video in fullscreen will sometimes not work properly.  Instead of showing the video fullscreen, it will blow up or zoom the video to the size of the browser window.  A fix was recently identified and should be in next week’s Dev build. 
• Users of certain ad blocking extensions may experience playback errors on Youtube.  As a workaround, temporarily disabling the extension should allow playback to proceed.  See https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/known-issue-adblock-causing-errors-on-youtube/m-p/14... for more details. 
• Users of the Kaspersky Internet Suite who have the associated extension installed may sometimes see webpages like Gmail fail to load.  This failure is due to the main Kaspersky software being out of date, and is thus fixed by making sure the latest version is installed. 
• Some users are seeing favorites get duplicated after we made some previous fixes in that area. The most common way this is triggered is by installing the Stable channel of Edge and then signing into it with an account that has already signed into Edge before.  Fixing this should be easier now that the deduplicator tool is available.  However, we’ve also seen duplication happen when running the deduplicator on multiple machines before either machine has a chance to fully sync its changes, so while we wait for some of the fixes we’ve made to come to Stable, make sure to leave plenty of time in between runs of the deduplicator. 
• After an initial fix for it recently, some users are still experiencing Edge windows becoming all black.  Opening the Browser Task Manager (keyboard shortcut is shift + esc) and killing the GPU process usually fixes it.  Note that this only appears to affect users with certain hardware and is most easily triggered by resizing an Edge window.  For users with discrete GPUs, updating graphics drivers may help. 
• Some users are seeing “wobbling” behavior when scrolling using trackpad gestures or touchscreens, where scrolling in one dimension also causes the page to subtly scroll back and forth in the other.  Note that this only affects certain websites and seems to be worse on certain devices.  This is most likely related to our ongoing work to bring scrolling back to parity with Edge Legacy’s behavior, so if this behavior is undesirable, you can temporarily turn it off by disabling the edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling flag. 
• There are some issues where users with multiple audio output devices sometimes don’t get any sound from Edge. In one case, Edge becomes muted in the Windows Volume Mixer and unmuting it fixes it.  In another, restarting the browser fixes it. 

As always, all of this is only possible thanks to your feedback and suggestions!
