For some reason, apps take a LOOONG time to install on this TP. I mean desktop apps. I hate this, it's way faster in 8.1...

 

I've noticed that overall things seem to be a tad slower for me, but this is a Technical Preview so I didn't expect everything to be better than 8.1.

There are hints out there that a new build could be going out later today, keep an eye out and or try the Preview Builds option in PC settings to see if something goes live.

I wish your words come true and new builds come with IE12, I am itching to test it out. Can't wait.

Yup. Tom Warren just tweeted that.

Its a technical preview and is guaranteed to have a ton of debug code enabled.

 

Expect it to be slower all the way up to final betas and RCs.

Yeah, I guess you're right, I keep forgeting that this is in early stages of developement because I really enjoy it and I wish they would release the damn thing faster :D

 

On another note, does anyone use the Facebook app from the store? I have a problem with it, every time I open it I get a prompt about wanting to change my profile picture. Even if I say OK, that prompt is there every time I open the app. :/

It's prety much confirmed that the next Windows Technical Preview build will be 9860, as Microsoft released 3 updates for that build today: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/57050-Windows-10-(Technical-Preview)-Hotfix-Repository/page3?p=963132&viewfull=1#post963132.

Just a reminder for you all, if you changed registry settings to get access to the extra options in Preview builds then you'll need to revert those changes if you haven't already done so ;)

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
