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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
