Has anyone had any issues with the search function? When the computer first boots, the search box pops up with the start menu like it is supposed to. Sometime later, it stops working. I don't see the search box when I open the start menu, and clicking on the search icon brings nothing up. This is on build 10041.

Are there any other improvements to the expanded Start menu to make it more like the Windows 8.1 Start screen, Dot?

None that I've seen so far. Still digging into the build. On first boot though, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of changes. Just little things.

 

 

Neowin doesn't render too well in Spartan yet. :(

Ugh, have the title bar widgets still not been properly aligned relative to the title bar text as of the latest build? I was hoping it'd be addressed by now.

That most likely won't be addressed until the end.

Dot, have you tried the same fix that was available for build 10041 for the Mail app?

I have not. I should look that up, and give it a try. I'm getting ready to turn in for the night though. Has anyone else tried it?

Not seeing anything much. A few new options with right clicking, but that's about it. I wouldn't worry too much, Gabe said this build was strictly about Spartan.

Sweet. I'll have to go run that tomorrow when I get home from work.

Did anyone notice the slight colored window border? This means that apps will have more control of their metro window to make it stylish.

Synaptics finally works in this build for me!

Also Cortana's menu seems downgraded, but the layout and ordering of cortana has changed.

      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!
