(Affects version 0.12.2)
After installing the game, I went to settings and changed the fullscreen option to "on". The game crashed and now it won't launch past the Mojang logo.

This issue can usually be resolved by updating graphics drivers as explained here: http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/pixel-format-not-accelerated/ - it applies to the Windows 10 Edition too.
Also, Windows seems to store the full screen preference under HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationFrame\WindowSizing\ so editing the launch mode should at least allow people to launch the game. Reinstalling or changing the "options.txt" to disable full screen doesn't seem to work as the registry key to my understanding gets loaded before anything else.
Quick PowerShell script to change the fullscreen setting, search "powershell" at Start and paste in the following:
Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.VisualBasic;$m = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction];$a="Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition";$b=$m::InputBox("Set the prefered launch mode.`n`n0: No prefered launch mode`n1: Prefer window mode`n2: Prefer full screen mode", $a, "0");try{$l=[int]$b;if(($b-lt0)-or($b-gt2)){exit;}}catch{};Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationFrame\WindowSizing\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App -Name PreferredLaunchWindowingMode -Value $l;
Updated to Win10 anniversary edition (Win10, 64bit, build 14393) and the game now crashes when running on my nvidia gpu (840M) but not on the integrated intel card
MCPE 0.15.6
Doesn't crash in windowed mode (if you're stuck on constant crashes, top right corner, windowed mode button)
