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.

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
