so we are going to be stuck using grey window frames?

 

changing colors has no effect on window frames. only the taskbar, start menu and login screen.

 

I could be wrong but when you go into settings and change your colors, the preview window that gives you an idea of how it'll look also shows a open window that changes color along with the taskbar and start menu.  So I'm thinking window frames will also change color to match your menu and taskbar, just not doing so yet.  I think right now they are locked to either light or the dark theme, maybe for testing those before they let users go crazy with colors.

I testing with windowblinds and it works great for windows. but the taskbar bugs out and spreads my pinned icon across the whole taskbar.

i noticed on the last build that the colour palette was locked to windows theme but i sync with the server so it always loads the last theme i used 

are quotes cross boxing they seem to be jumping to random placeholders of existing random quote ????

Moving a tile group to the 3rd column of the start menu in fullscreen view crashes the start menu, even after reboot it can't be opened.

Does anyone know how to reset the start menu layout in order to solve the problem of start menu not showing up?

It also happened in a virtual machine, so better don't try it out ;)

Please , don't even try to use Google Translate , it's awful ...

I asked if it's there a Romanian Language Pack avaible .

'' Your '' translation says definitedly something else , it is not even about to be what I've said .

You asked, and he clearly wrote no in English right above the screenshot.

1.5 million people trying to grab the new 10061 update i bet microsoft's servers are smoking lol 

There are also torrents of this build (took zero seconds, as they are at the Usual Suspects).  Here is what I have found so far:

 

1.  You can upgrade (in the pre-10 manner) from 10056 to 10061 - I did this with my desktop and the development notebook.

2.  Mount/upgrade (from 8.x) still works - that also means that using third-party image-mount tools (Virtual Clone Drive, Daemon Tools, etc.) should also work (Windows 7 and Vista).

3.  And i have an idea what the (TWS) is before an earlier iteration of this build, and 10066 - Target Windows Seven.  (That would also explain the different RSA key - these two builds target a specific upgrade case - Windows 7-based upgrades.)  With that being the case, OF COURSE upgrades from 8 and later won't work.

Windows 10 is rather Linux - looking by what I've seen in the latest leaked builds .

P.S : No Romanian Language Pack there yet ?

Not news - Windows (on the desktop) is OFTEN compared to Linux; in fact, it's been the case since back to XP, if not 9x.  (A good half the features having nothing to do with Modern appeared in Linux first -- such as the disk-image mounting, for example.)  And thanks to GNU, it's not exactly rocket science.  (More like good ideas traveling.)

For me , it seemed to be exactly opposite .

Moreover because W7 came out after Vista which got me the early '' flawless '' Desktop Enviroment for a XP SP3 user .

Say what?

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
