New Music icon is awful. It's not easily recognizable. I think it's supposed to be a CD with a 'Play' triangle on top, but I'm not sure? Eitherway, using a CD is extreamly dated.

 

I prefer the old icon as well. Weird change.

What is Windows 10 like so far on high-dpi displays? Windows 8.1 was a hopeless disaster so I'm hoping that things have been sorted out in Windows 10.*

 

 

 

 

* Not talking about third party software but the base operating system and bundled applications.

XP is almost gone, it'll drop under Windows 8.1s market share by August and keep dropping.

14 years after I first started using it... 

 

If that's the timetable you have in mind, I guess it's possible that the Control Panel will be gone by 2030 ;) Unfortunately I'm sure it'll live alongside Settings for a long long time.

You're right, but if I were you I wouldn't try correcting others grammar when you can't speak/type it very well yourself, buddy. Comes off trollish IMHO. You have made it clear English isn't your first language and can't speak/type it well. Yet you're trying to correct others who make small mistakes? Doesn't make sense.

 

How would anyone know how much Cortana will say in the latest build? You really want to know exactly how much she will be saying? Makes no sense to me.

Camera roll has been around... it was located in the Pictures folder then they moved CR out of Pictures folder into Library list in the latest build.

Oh I know its been around (I have many Windows 8.1 machines). That's why I said LIBRARY!

You said new...  it's not new.. MS moved stuff around.

The library is new, the folder isn't. Plus its still in the pictures library and pictures folder and if you open the library's settings, you can see where the library is getting the folder from. ;)

New Music icon is awful. It's not easily recognizable. I think it's supposed to be a CD with a 'Play' triangle on top, but I'm not sure? Eitherway, using a CD is extreamly dated.

I agree, horrible

No, it's not new..  Library was in 8.1 and older version windows....

 

Like I said MS moved stuff around...  (such as remove, add, move, etc)

What ians18 means is the library highlighted in the screenshot:

And yes, that is new and was not part of Windows 8.1 or older. Nor of previous Windows 10 builds.

Frank, Camera Roll is part of OneDrive...    It's not new!

It was never added as a Library before. I know it's not new as folder, it is new as a Library. Good grief, don't be so stubborn.

At first, this comment caught me off guard, as it wasn't too long ago that Win 8.x was single digits,...just rechecked, and you are right. Win 8.x has taken off, only a few points under XP.....

You don't get it.... Camera Roll is linked to Library....   Like I said MS moved stuff around... 

 

New means new features...    Camera Roll is not new, Library is not new....   that's simple.

 

If you get 'Vault' in the library, then that's new.  Understand what I meant?

You don't get what ians18 and I mean. It's not about a new feature, it's about a new default Library having been added.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions. A wide range of effects and transitions. Audio signal processing capabilities include normalization, phase and pitch shifting, limiting, volume adjustment, reverb and equalization filters as well as others. 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. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive. Built-in audio mixer Kdenlive 26.04.2 changelog: Remove not needed actions from render info, fix rough size calculation for rendering. Fix clip sometimes not inserted in timeline when moving vertically in bin drag. Fix transcoding from clip properties. Cleanup render profile audio quality. Use percent based value for audio quality, and adjust the range accordingly per codec. Fixes bug #520750 Enforce even numbers for render width/height. Fixes bug #520737 Fix nightly flatpak - disable rnnoise until implemented. Fix missing initialization. Edit mediacapture.cpp. Fix document unnecessarily marked as modified on opening, triggering a backup request. Fix incorrect detection of missing and remote clips causing unwanted backups. Fixes issue #2194 Fix tests. Fix tmp files copied to wrong location when setting project folder. Fixes bug #467740 Fix color clips not selected on creation.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      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.
