A browser so safe, opening more than one tab crashes it :D 

 

I would rather have app tiles just floating on my desktop that update in realtime rather than desktop gadgets.

Hey...it already does that on my tablet. Just try re-arranging very large tiles. The news app almost always stays floating even after start menu is closed. :laugh:

While we wait for a new build:

 

 

6:53 New Tile Animations

9:36 Tile States: Plate App logo, short name, badge, content

14:08 Interactive Tiles

I can't watch/listen right now - any mention of why Modern app icons on the Taskbar and 'TileSmall' (with a badge) aren't the same thing, and whether they will be?  it really bugs me that they're not - i.e. a Modern app icon is not 'live' when it's running/pinned.

Anyone noticed that the whole screen blacks out for an instant when you click the start button? Or is it maybe the nVidia driver?

Happens in my Oracle vm. Annoying.

No such thing here but then both of my Win10 systems are using Intel graphics. 

W10 Build 10120 from fbl_impressive just moved to OSG ring. If it'll Pass, Then expect an Insider build this week (or next week). :D

I know, it's a bit hurry to say this. But if a fbl_impressive moved to OSG ring, then most of times it was released to Insiders.

Thanks for the heads up. Fingers crossed! [emoji14]

All the Internet pages I've seen are screaming out loud : One of Neowin CEO to obtain 10114 build.

Did someone here really have a link to it?

Brad Sams has somehow got access to it: Gallery: Windows 10 build 10114, Start menu gets refined

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Officially there should be a new build of Windows 10 mobile this week, 10080, if there's no problems with internal testing of it, as for a new desktop build, I don't know, but they're moving faster with desktop now which makes me expect the two versions to RTM out of sync.

 

If what I expect comes true, then desktop RTM in July and mobile RTM in fall (October or November), then there's that rumored update to the desktop version in the fall, which I now expect to be true.   That fall desktop update will probably be what brings the two OS versions back into sync, on the same build number.

it would be nice if they fix it so you can network a MAC computer in home network. nothing works

 

You can network all MAC computers, MAC is essential for all networking. 

 

or did you mean Mac perhaps ?  either way, if you mean Home Group and not home Network, then MS can't do anything about that, and why would they. Home group is just an easy way to set up networking for people who don't have a clue, unfortunately they still need a little bit of a clue which means they have to ask they people with a clue, at which point you just disable home group and use username and password network sharing and non password protected sharing. 

 

It's just easier to make sure everything works that way, and some stuff just won't work if Home Groups.

 

if you're just talking about Home Networking... umm well Mac's do home networking just fine.

Please don't let it be true!

 

So the next Insider Preview will be like a Release Candidate?

 

And to me 10074 still feels like an alpha/beta build.

Without my "build fix"...I'll be going through withdraul symptoms....... :o

I don't think this is true, but WZor is pretty reliable. But if a build is approved by Microsoft's External ring, shouldn't it just be pushed out anyway? They don't know which builds are gonna be approved. I don't know, I just don't wanna accept the wait.

    • 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.
