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.

Prepare to update your (virtual) machines.

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.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
