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.

    • 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 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 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.
