And now comes the killing question : Why 10061 came off right after the '' 10100 '' one ?

Where's their logic ?

 

 
 

 

Interesing .

 

Imagine this you have several builds in developement, the actual daily builds where everything is updated bleeding edge. at times these builds are taken out to become the beta testing builds. the daily builds higher in the chain will then have a higher build number, while the actual testing builds are still on a lower build but still gets updated for certain things. hence you can have a newer build with a lower build number. it's a bit more complicated than that, but...

bc they are testing different things on different builds.

 

Let me try to understand .

 

They test something with X build in the day Y .

They release buld X+1 .

Then , they release the previous build [ X ] in the day Y+1 which is the same with what they tested before of X+1's release [ day Y ] ?

 

Am I there ?

They are testing vary builds based on the features... 

 

For example,  They gave us 10061 for us to play with....   They are testing new builds, then next week or two, they will give us new build. Maybe 10070 or whatever...    MS team is ttesting the build that is ahead of us...

Yes , but what I don't manage to understand is why we played with a '' bigger '' number than MS did ?

 

Is about what HawkMan stated :

It is quite simple by what he say .

You have problem, then report it to MS then they will fix it in the next build or two.

 

Otherwise you have suggestions for MS... they will consider to add the feature you wanted in the next build or two.

 

That's how it works.

 

And bugfixes can be updated via WU instead of getting a new build.

The fact that none of these builds are even remotely stable is concerning.

 

How are they not remotely stable? Since 10051 I haven't had a single stability problem. The only issues I have are like the known ones, like not being able to launch win32 apps from start, which is probably like a 10 minute fix for them. 

They are focusing on adding features, they can definitely feature lock by the end of June and polish this OS within a month. It's pretty damn stable.

Apps not launching from Start? Explorer crashes randomly?

 

Do you read these bug reports?

It's kind of stable but it's also graphically glitchy. While arranging my Live (dead) Tiles, Large ones become wide and change color if I change the size of another tile, and so on. You can check the attached image. The cortana Tile takes "wide" space but tile shows as "medium". Also the image on the Calendar Tile is stretched.

 

I'm more than aware this is a Technical Preview, not even a Cosumer one, but Live Tiles are one of the main features of Windows since W8.

 

I hope we'll eventually get a big jump in build number soon.

I am somewhat surprised that they debuted Spartan in its current form. Is it me or is Spartan missing even basic key combos in address bar? I can't get CTRL+A to work on mine in 10061.

The fact that none of these builds are even remotely stable is concerning.

The core OS had been rock solid for me since 9926. There are individual glitches but overall it has been stable for my daily driver.

Apps not launching from Start? Explorer crashes randomly?

 

Do you read these bug reports?

 

The apps not launching is like a minor issue. It's obviously some accidently regression that they can easily fix, it's a non-issue. I haven't had explorer crash on any of the 3 machines I run 10 on so idk what that is.

Clean install build 10056 or 10061 and it fixes that problem. 

 

Doing a clean install for me removed most bugs from start menu for me.  I use to have issues with dragging tiles around and launching apps. It was fix with a clean install.

 

Iso for both builds are floating around.

Been using TP since day 1 and never had any stability issues. 

9926 was the build of Windows 10 where it become rock solid stability wise. The only issues still are rebooting and shutdown where explorer.exe and dde server would pop up a stop error message. This has been happening since 10014 I think it was. That to this date is the only problem I have stability wise with Windows 10. The rest (and most) of the problems with it are all apps with how they are transitioning to the metro interface. In regards to that, I don't think M$ are even at the 50% mark here. They definately need more time than 3 months to fix the problems with the apps and get consistency though-out the Windows 10 ecosystem.

My main problem with win10 so far is that I've had to make a new profile for every single build to fix glitching, on my desktop at least.

 

I don't expect it to be perfect before launch of course, but if this is still an issue with the next few builds I might be concerned.

I just asked why 10100 came before 10061 ...

So that's what you wanted to say with that photo .

 

What? Dude, it's this easy. There are many labs inside Microsoft and each one is responsible for a set of features. Each of them creates a new build daily, independently from each other.

    • 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.
    • 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
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • 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 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.
