Edge crashes like a drunk driver in build 10074. What else is new? The browser is set for failure. :(

 

You know very well the OS and Edge itself are far from finished. Didn't Microsoft confirm Edge wouldn't be 100% finished until sometime after Windows 10 goes RTM?

 

All the crap you gave people who hated Windows 8 (you still do) when they were working on it and now you're acting like that same type of person you gave crap. Do you actually truly know what you want? You realize how much you look like a hypocrite when your hate towards Windows 10 shows? That Start Screen you wanted to marry is still there, she just went and got better looking.

 

You and everyone else bashing everything Windows 10 need to keep in mind it's STILL BEING WORKED ON and need to calm down and stop acting like everything should be working like it's RTM. Time to grow up and get some freaking patience.

 

Same thing for MikeM97 there. You expect everything to be RTM quality and have already made it clear how you really feel about Windows 10. You backtracked long enough not to look like you were just out to bash it any chance you got. People bash it and here you are to jump right back into it. Pick a struggle, pal.

I guess I won't be installing Windows 10 builds until Tablet mode/ Continuum gets improved, for me there is no need otherwise.

Prepare to update your (virtual) machines.

I updated my bare-metal Enterprise partition (the one with the modded version of the NVidia DX12 driver) - which promptly rolled the driver back to 347.25 (which is apparently included with this build, as I never installed it).

 

UPDATE - a NEW version of 352.86 is available - this version is both a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Game-Ready driver AND the Windows 10 Insider Preview WHQL driver.  Also, Fermi is officially supported by this driver.

Just wondering if it's an issue on my end. Is anyone getting email notifications from the built-in Mail app? I have them enabled but even with the app open they don't show up and the Mail app tile doesn't show that I've got new emails either. Been like this for many builds now.

What's with the white titlebars in Win32 apps like Chrome, Firefox or Explorer?

 

Somehow it looks like they released this build in the middle of re-designing the titlebar theme.

Everything has a white titlebar now, seems like they're prepping for the Dark theme.

The previous ones were ugly grey. At least they don't have a graveyard look now. But ye, still needs more work. Needs an option to add colour to them.

People app doesn't seem to include my social networks anymore, was this deliberate? Only reason I used this app! If you go to add account it only seems to be e-mail type accounts which is redundant surely as the mail app is already there??

You're not the only one with this problem. I never got it to work with the new Mail app, however VERY rarely I did get the new mail notification sound playing. But otherwise, very rarely it have shown live tile updates about it as well. There is however a new update for it to be downloaded and installed, but it's stuck with an error code when I want to update it.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
