Fixes & Enhancements

New Features:
-Security Tools now provides beta support of Windows 10 Technical Preview.
-Preboot Authentication with password is now supported on Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 Technical Preview on these additional Dell UEFI computers with qualified Opal Compliant SEDs: Dell Latitude E7250, E7350, E7450, and Venue Pro 11 (Model 7139).
-The virtual keyboard is now available with Preboot Authentication on the Dell Venue Pro 11 (Model 7139).
-A customer feedback form is now available within the DDP Console. Feedback is delivered to Dell along with the Dell Data Protection product name and version number.
Resolved Technical Advisories
-In Security Tools - Setup, clicking the Defaults button on the Recovery Questions page no longer returns the prompt to confirm deletion of recovery questions but now more accurately prompts the user to confirm a reset of Recovery Questions settings.
-The System Shutdown Required message that displays before PBA activation begins can now be properly minimized and maximized by clicking the system tray icon.
-Password Manager now functions properly with Mozilla Firefox v36.0.1 and later.
-When One-time Password is used to recover access to a computer, if the user enters a blank value for the password, error messages now display Unknown user name or incorrect password/One or more arguments are not correct. After the user acknowledges the messages, the OTP screen displays.
-On a German operating system, the PBA logon button text is now sized correctly and fully visible.
-On a UEFI computer with PBA activated and with default Title, Legal Notice, and Support Information for the PBA logon screen, selecting Options > System Information no longer returns the message Support Information is not enabled.
-On a UEFI computer running a Japanese or Korean operating system with PBA activated, the PBA logon screen now loads and functions as expected.
-On the Dell Precision T1700 and OptiPlex XE2, enabling Secure Boot and activating the PBA no longer results in the error, No bootable devices found.

Important Information

-When a user begins credential enrollment but quits without saving before enrollment is complete, the credentials are enrolled rather than discarded. To work around this issue, if policy allows the user to modify their own credentials, the user can open the DDP Console, select the Enrollments tile, select and delete the credentials. Otherwise, an administrator must remove them.
-During activation, if the selected backup location is not available, the user cannot set a new backup location in the activation dialog but must instead set the new location through Administrator Settings > Backup Location before activation can proceed.
-Password Manager does not support the Windows 10 web browser, Microsoft Edge.
-When running on Windows 10, the DDP Console About window displays incorrect BIOS information and an incorrect serial number for the computer's motherboard.
-When a contactless smart card is moved across the card reader, a popup notification prompts the user to enroll the smart card. If the card is moved multiple times in a short length of time, multiple popup notifications may simultaneously display.
-On Windows 10, if the Validity Fingerprint Sensor driver is out-of-date, when PBA is activated, the computer experiences a blue screen. To work around this issue, ensure that PBA is not enabled by policy, then follow these steps:
1. Install Dell Data Protection then reboot.
2. In Windows Control Panel, navigate to Device Manager.
3. Under Biometric Devices, disable the Validity Fingerprint Sensor.
4. Activate the PBA.
5. After reboot, the Validity Fingerprint Sensor can be re-enabled, and the fingerprint reader functions as expected.
To download the latest Validity Fingerprint Sensor driver, go to http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Products/?app=drivers and select your computer model to check and download the latest driver.
-When running Windows 10 on Dell Latitude E7250 or E7450, when the computer resumes from sleep, hibernation, warm boot, or cold boot, the user may be unable to authenticate with an enrolled contactless smart card. To work around this issue, change the policy to require only password authentication. The user should log on and re-enroll the contactless smart card. After re-enrollment, the user will be able to log on with the contactless smart card.
-On Windows 10, when resuming from sleep, a computer with a SED installed and PBA activated may experience a blue screen.
-Upgrade from v1.2 on a computer with a SED installed and PBA activated fails.
-Upgrade on a computer with a LiteOn M3 series SSD installed and PBA activated fails due to the small disk size.
-With PBA activated on Dell Latitude E7450, navigation of the Advanced Boot Options menu is not possible because the native keyboard is not available. To work around this issue, deactivate the PBA, access the Advanced Boot Options menu, and keyboard navigation is available.
-On Dell Latitude E7250, E7350, E7450, and Venue Pro 11 (Model 7139), recovery fails with Dell Opal SED Recovery Utility one-time unlock of the drive. To work around this issue, use the recovery key to unlock a drive on one of these models.
