thechronic Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've used Windows 10 on Virtualbox but i was wondering, when installed natively does it use more or less the same resources as Windows 8.x? Considering a dual boot to use it more often but reluctant to if performance is a potential issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It runs fine for a beta. The only issues I have with it stem from power management. It loved crashing upon waking from sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyarecomingforyou Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 There's a bug with the Start button that means it won't respond if you move your mouse and click to quickly. It's already been reported on the Windows Feedback tool, so I'm not the only one affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio384 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It works better for me then build 9841. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechronic Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Well, sounds like it's not too bad for some browsing of the web, email and facebook checking. Anyone got any task manager screenshots they can share from Windows 10 build 9860 running idle? Please include specs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHammer Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It runs fine for a beta. The only issues I have with it stem from power management. It loved crashing upon waking from sleep. Other than two niggling software-compatibility issues (both involving MMORPGs from Sony Online Entertainment) it's no slower (actually, it's somewhat faster) compared to Windows 8.1 (with which it shares a drive). It is actually better with a trackpad (compared to 8.1) and is more customizable (compared to 8.1). As I said earlier, adjustability FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I just noticed that the 'Windows Photo Viewer' no longer works, although it was set as the default. Change to use the newer 'Photos' app and that's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose_49 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 One at the news (don't remember who) said that edge snapping (4 corners) was semi-broken until reboot. I have confirmed this anomaly. There are times that when you try to snap on corners it will default to side snapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilambo Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The new build doesn't seem to work well with the latest Intel Rapid Storage drivers. Reboot times take 10 times longer than the previous one. A cold start is a pain in the a** until you wait for at least three minutes to start using the PC withou lag.

TDT Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 For me it's definitelly worse than 8.1. This build seems to be a CPU hog, also browsing is slow (lots of stuttering when scrooling pages, facebook for example), at least on Waterfox. Flash Player really needs an update, it really sucks on Win 10, but then again it always sucked, so... Gorilambo 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose_49 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 After trying it out for constant 5 days, I need to say that this has been the most stable alpha OS I've tested so far (Comparing with Windows 7 Build 7000, Windows 8 TP/CP) AutoCAD suite works flawlessly. I have a couple of hiccups when running modern apps. But other than that, it's been working pretty good!!! Designby 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James A. Moore Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Windows update was installed automatically. I had no idea it had updated til it did a restart! When the system came back up and I saw the same screens as when I did the first install I knew I had problems. 9860 was installed but I now have a windows.old folder that I cannot delete and for some reason all my picture subfolders were copied.

nosense Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Everything works great for me, boot up\shut down takes less than 5 seconds. All apps that i use work and all games i play work. Other than UI glitches, it's pretty stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris123NT Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 It's working well enough for me. The snapping bug is SOMETHING to do with metro, because if you restart explorer OR kill ApplicationFrameHost.exe (that will close all your metro apps) snap works as intended again for a period of time and then breaks. I had some other odd issues that were cleared up by making my own ISO and doing a clean install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrynalyne Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I can deal with it but it has a lot of issues. My wifi will stop working, and won't reliably scan for networks. My VPN will not reconnect after waking up. My trackpad occasionally decides to stop working right as well. First build was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wireless issues scream driver issue to me. 9860 messed with my wifi as well, it disabled 40mhz channel width on the 2.4 bands, once i re-enabled it and updated the driver things were okay again.

Tegument Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Still a bit buggy, have a clean install and randomly have apps reconfigure, disappear or not display correctly ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
