it wouldnt let me upload my screen s

 

KB[numbers go here] = patch

 

Build [numbers go here] = New build.

 

You see Build 9926 in lower right hand corner?  If so, you are not on new build unless you have newer version of build installed.

 

 

Oh, that's a patch, not an actual new build.

 

Quillz is right.

any clue as to when we will see any new build of 10? with the leak of the 10009 build apparently, we could use an update build to see how things are coming along.

Update coming next week, but the new build isn't coming until late Feb, according to Twitter.

Anyone ran into this problem and know of a solution? I remember something similar happening on Windows 8 that was specific to one user account...

Tech Preview Build 9926, noticed this a few days ago, shortly after the latest update. Not sure if it was this way before the update or not, unfortunately.

Have you updated everything?

sorry for the late reply, i did update using the built in app. After messing around with the reg I decide to format and clean install, now im unable to make the PIN logging to work :/ I have to type my full password to log, not cool... waiting for the next built hope they fix those weird issues. 

Reported the bug already to MS

I had that bug, and I just shut down my computer and then turned it on again.

I gotta say, using Windows 10 b9926... Explorer just feels ancient to use and look at. Hopefully, they can modernize it. It just doesn't fit anymore in the OS the way it is.

 

How so? I think it looks and works just fine.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
