PC Settings is looking good in this build. Love to see more options working there.

Please create your own thread for concepts, these images are not part of the Technical Preview and do not really belong in this thread (one concept is fine, but i suggest you created a separate thread)

Latest build is way too unreliable in Hyper-V. I keep getting black screens every now and then, and have to turn off the VM completely to get it to work again.

From my other thread (mods you can delete the thread, no one wants to reply :()

 

Looking into the WindowsApps folder (by taking ownership) there are folders with Cortana in the name

 

This is the path:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Cortana_1.3.1.136_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe

 

Then their are 2 dlls that I opened:

 

I am hesitant to post this per Neowin's rules, link to Cortana sounds. But seeing I did not go out of my way to download the Technical Preview and it is in every build of Windows 10, I will.

Also Windows Shell Experience Host was in my Task Manager when I enabled Continuum, and the folder location was here:

I am basically saying this as a joke, but gawd, MS Registry edit icon... someday, maybe? update it? *lol* We've made this joke since windows 98 I think....

a new icon might confuse some people

I noticed my pagefile was in 58,000 fragments after I installed this build.

 

Defraggler took care of that, but it was funny.

(I'd normally use other tools for offline defrag, but they were either locked in the trials or the trials wouldn't install on 10.)

Weird, BuildFeed has listed build 9883 as a public release: https://buildfeed.net/actions/info/679/. Mistake, or are we getting another update, unlike Microsoft said (might be because a lot of users had problems with 9879).

Most likely due to OneDrive issues?

[George P Global Moderator]

I don't expect a new build till January, they'll push out a few patches for 9879 and that's it.

It'll be interesting to see how Windows 10 performs on the latest hardware with pure UEFI turned on without Windows having to step back to backwards compatibility for older standards. Anyone running Windows 10 on modern hardware from a bit name vendor like Lenovo?

[remixedcat]

It works fine even on a dell inspiron laptop from the windows xp era. even better than XP actually LOL. 

[Dot Matrix]

Remixedcat is back! :o

:laugh: Was going to write exactly that.

Has anyone noted problems when opening pictures or videos, and other types of files, where as soon as you select to open (I use the traditional double-click, you may use something else), and the app or program always opens in the background behind the foreground window? I was hesitant to mess around with Windows 10 TP but I grabbed the 9879 ISO earlier and installed it, did a lot of configuration to get it working "like Windows 7" because I have a workflow like many people do and I prefer it over anything else.

This one thing is driving me batty and I can't find any solutions or even anyone else discussing it - I've installed this twice now in the past hour or so just in case (second time around usually works better, I can't say why but it really does more often than not) and it's still doing it.

 

I find a picture file in File Explorer (not sure why they are just now deciding to call it "File Explorer" again after all these years, that will most likely change before RTM), double-click on it to open it, and sure enough the Pictures app opens but in the background behind the foreground window which is File Manager, of course.

 

Any help or tips to address this would be greatly appreciated. Just a note: if I use Windows Photo Viewer to open the image it opens as expected, in the foreground - it just seems to be some issue with the "apps" in Windows 10, I suppose the Metro thing is what it should be referred as or Modern UI apps.

It's just weird...

Any word on whether it includes encoding functionality? I'm assuming that WMP hooks into 'Media Foundation' so does that mean FLAC encoding support is part of the framework? Btw, it has been ages since I've last used Windows - does Windows have a built in AAC encoder?

I know it has encoder when used in programs such as Movie Maker but not sure if it's part of the media foundation.

new feature?
