Patch for the Windows 10 Technical Preview update available, fixes missing characters bug

Microsoft may have released the first major update for the Windows 10 Technical Preview earlier today, but the company already has a patch available to download for that new 9860 build that's apparently designed to fix an issue with missing characters in apps and other programs.

If you have downloaded and installed the new Windows 10 version and see something like this when you visit Windows Central, you are not alone.

However, there is a second update available for download in the preview build when you go to PC Settings, the Update and recovery, and then Preview builds. We quickly downloaded it and it installed just as fast and it seemed to fix the missing characters on our PC.
