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 :(

You can fix it by going into Device Manager and deleting the network device.  When you scan for changes, it will put the device back.  And it will now magically work again.

umm, nope.

 

Try deleting all of the network devices you see under network in the Device Manager (Right click your start menu icon and click device manager).  It worked for me on several machines.  If there is a Hyper-V installed, it can cause issues.  I would remove hyper-v and re-add it.

Windows 10 feels sorta like longhorn, in that they are changing a lot of the look and feel of Windows. It feels pre-alpha to the point where they might just say screw it and start over.

uhh... where you even around for longhorn ? and look and feel wasn't the reason for the longhorn reboot.

 

as for the 10 GUI changes, they're more like constant tweaks than changes. the only parts that's really undergoing any major changes right now is the touch/tablet version, and it's again, mostly tweaking to add in 8.1 functionality to the revised 10 UX without creating two completely different UI paradigms.

Normally if they make a big jump in builds it's because they hit some milestone and either locked something down or added something big or a bunch of things to the builds.  We'll have to see just how new the 101xx builds are from now on.

Build 10061 is now in low flight, a release might be coming today or very soon. http://ms-vnext.net/Flights/

Doubt it will come today, probably early next week id say.

@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.

 

 

the joy, so i would get to move directly to Redstone  yey! :D

 

They've stated there is no CP. 

 

(Y) was a bit out of the loop

It's already the 18th, I think any build that comes out will be at BUILD on the 29th or 30th, so people should keep their expectations low.  Now a leak of 10061 or something newer could happen, still no screenshots out either.

Oh thank heavens, this. I am so tired of Windows 10 being compared to "Longhorn." Aside from a few features and use of XAML, I am not seeing how the two are comparable. "Longhorn," conceptually, surpasses Windows 10 in some areas (e.g., resolution-independent desktop); the latter surpasses the former in some areas as well (e.g., native support for modern hardware such as 3D printers and interface adaptation based on device types). As far as Windows releases go, Windows Vista is, as one would expect, the closest to "Longhorn" in terms of its appearance and functionality.

The illustration below is an example of what I am alluding to. Reports state that "Longhorn" would offer pen-optimized skins, but there is nothing to suggest that the OS would optimize the desktop interface based on the type of input, which is what Windows 10 does.

I think we'll get an 10100+ build since this is a new milestone to get us ready for RTM.

If they are still adding a Faster Ring, then maybe there will be man more builds out from now (Build 2015) to Summer (RTM or GA).

Quite possibly!

 

Also, does anyone else think that Windows Redstone is a nod towards Minecraft?

It's always interesting when they have a jump like that, wonder what new stuff might have been added in these 10100 builds and what they've decided to hold off on till redstone in 2016.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
