I noticed they made the shadows back to the normal size, I'm not sure what build this was changed in but I don't like it. I really liked the big, yet subtle window shadows from the first preview build.

There are apps that I think are new, and they are not listed in alll apps, you have to search for them. They are just internal feature apps that haven't been hidden yet, nothing really

Accounts Control Assigned Access Lock app, AAD Token Broker Plugin, and Windows Default Lock Screen.

So, in 10056 some users get groups that can hold 3 collumns of tiles, other see 4, anyone an idea how this is determined?

 

I'd guess it's due to size of the screen or resolution? 

Sorry if this has been brought up before but can anyone change their Ethernet IPv4 settings? I cannot get into it's properties to change my DNS settings :(

Yeah, it's been discussed before and it's a known issue. It'll be probably addressed in the next official build.

10061 exists

Now that he confirmed its the latest build internally at Microsoft, hopefully us Fast ring people will see a similar build number pop up soon for us. 

10061 yesterday got into the medium ring, this build is now in both fast and medium. I think it seems to be a good chance that it might drop to the slow ring (which is the public fast ring).

@Ci7 There won't be a "consumer preview". People claimed the Technical Preview 2 build to be a Consumer Preview, didn't happen, and as the Technical Previews are planned to go beyond Windows 10 for Redstone, it won't happen either.

 

Anyway, I think that either 10065 or 10100 is going to be the next build for Insiders, just lke we did get 9926 the build before 10000 for the TP2 stage.

Not sure if it was true, but after the January event someone on WinBeta said something to the effect of, "There's a reason they are holding back the consumer preview for later."

 

The main reason is that there is no Consumer Preview. The guys from WinBeta are also the ones claiming that the update we got back in August was Windows 8.1 Update 2, except of course that Microsoft has said that they didn't do that kind of things anymore in one big update and that there is no Windows 8.1 Update 2, it was planned at one point but got canceled. Some of their readers pointed this out, and one of the authors just went to Twitter to say bash on these readers. Also, they claim we're now on Windows 8.1 Update 3. But again: there hasn't been an Update 2 to begin with. WinBeta isn't the most reliable source when it comes to Windows updates, sure they have their good points, but as soon as a rumor goes out, they continue to claim it as a fact, even if all others have said its wrong, even when their reader pointed out that they where wrong (and they couldn't handle the critique).

I'm sure what MS says has more weight than what "someone" on WinBeta said...

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
