Start Menu and Cortana won't do anyting for me in this build

When I just installed it everything seemed to be fine, but after a reboot both don't work anymore.

Not with mouse, KB or touch.

 

Anybody got a solution for this so far?

Don't worry, I'll wager the 3D tile animation removal is only temporary as they are ironing out other bugs. ;)  Can anyone pin items to Start?  Now I can only drag and drop them.  I'm not sure if I like the alphabet zoom more in start or People...

 

I agree, I'd like to see window chrome linked to the taskbar setting.  The white is just too much.

So, I found out why my Start screen/menu wasn't working anymore.

I changed some settings of the start menu so it wouldn't show me the most used apps and turned of the recently added apps group

 

Now that I turned them back on Start works as before

Oh, I'm not worrying, I'm celebrating I H_A_T_E the 3d animation.

Am I the only person on the planet who is driven NUTS by the "thinking" icon when Windows loads or processes anything... where the dots make a loop, go for another loop... but disappear down in an invisible loop, then back up to repeat. It is the most minor thing (probably more minor than the recycle bin icon!), but I hate it.

Well the new icons are a lot less vomit inducing than the last ones, but it still hasn't sold me on the flat, ugly UI fad. I'll probably be waiting on the Windows 10 upgrade until some UI mods come out.

I have three columns at 768 and four at 1080.  I still have 4 tiles across though, but you show 3?

 

I'm still having general issues with Modern apps and Start painting in correctly, lots of system activity at the time so not sure if its an AMD thing or something else.  AMD driver still crashes like crazy with either browser open.  New jump lists look good, but same issue there at times.

 

Still thinking the left edge swipe should trigger the hamburger since they went with a collapsing behavior and move the app picker edge to the top or bottom. 

 

 

3 columns on the start screen on 768 ?

 

are you sure about that ? the size of my tiles I don't think I could fit 3 columns even if they removed the left and right side padding and the spacing inbetween .

Me people app is broken again, for me, was broken on last build as well and I just didn't care about fixing it, I did it once on the first build that broke all 3 apps, but I don't really use people and I don't feel like doing all that crap. 

From that screen shot you're not on build 10130 as the file explore icon is the old 1.

 

file explorer and settings on the left side as well. They're gone from there.

I have this installed on our laptop that we dont use too much.  8 gig ram on an I3.  


When logged into windows using my @outlook account it seems to run so much slower.  When I use the local account, it runs much faster, it's been like this for the past three builds. 


Also,  what's the deal with the start? I don't need that much space!  I made everything smaller,  can't drag it smaller either.  Just seems like a waste.

So while trying to reply to the below post MS Edge did this to me:

 

post-408106-0-20935200-1433020814.png

 

Can't create a sign in pin, virtual keyboard won't appear on the tablet.

 

I have ran every version of Windows 10 TP, in a VM, and haven't been able to either add/edit/remove a PIN successfully

Hope this is fixed by RTM :)

I am not sure if it was the same, but one of mine "apps" had a Vista-style icon and it looked like the old DirectPlay DRM stuff.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
