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.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
