On the phone, my battery seems to go down even though it is plugged in to charge. :pinch:

 

One restart and battery dropped by 20%. Now Start is not loading at all. I would understand if there are rough edges, but not something this bad, and I can't see how they would broke something that already worked.

So they're saying build 10125 just leaked, did anyone notice?   I checked a few places but don't see it.  If anyone finds it let us know how it goes for you.

Wzor posted a MEGA link on Twitter, it's also in the usual places like [cat with a k + costa rica domain]. Look for [Windows 10 10125]

Just installed 10125 and I have to say that it is working fine. It works better than the 10122 build. A visual glitch with the Action Center has been resolved for my device (Acer Iconia W510) where it would display a background, and in more recent builds, that would leave you with white text on a white background in many occasions. Anyway, the Action Center looks much better now with that border gone.

Have you tried to pop the SIM card out? I've found that the current build just nukes the battery on my 810 when it has access to the cellular antenna.

They should've released 10125 t Insiders, and skipped 10122. :/

 

They could release both. I think whenever there's a stable enoug build they should just release it.

 

It should be the default one, no need to have two different ones.

 

Agreed.

3 hours plugged in, battery at 3%. Phone is hot as hell. 10080 is wrecking my 920, making it completely unusable. No amount of restarts, refreshes, hard resets help.

 

Time to revert back to 8.1?

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
