They still aren't in this build, but I hope that they will be eventually.

No. You missed my post. Go back and read it.

It realy doesn't matter wheter or not he missed that post, the Camera roll library is new in Windows 10, it isn't there in Windows 8 and 8.1. I've got a 8.1 installation here, OneDrive synced with pictures from my Phone, no Camera roll library.

Hello,

Got the time to re-test windows 10 build 10310. Bad experience again :(.

Clean install, audio worked, i did the install without allowing it to connect to the internet.i also installed latest video driver from intel.

As soon as i enabled wifi and the machine could connect to the web, it started downgraded my video drivers and also installed some audio drivers that broke my audio on the machine (via audio).

This sucks.

Which Intel drivers did it install initially and what did you end up with?

 

Loads of people had a similar experience on this build including me.

And me. I'm guessing it downgraded to version 3347, if you have an HD Graphics 2000/3000. I had version 4101. MS really needs to give us the option to ignore individual updates, at least driver ones.

There is a known issue with Audio in Windows 10 Build 10130.

 

The fix for me and many other was to disable 5.1 and use 2.1 @ 48k. Just found this link.

 

Mike.

I think I am going to join the "this is not looking good" crowd pretty soon(by end of June?) unless Microsoft has something secret cooking up inside Redmond. I guess such an expectation is foolish given past experiences with Vista/7/8 but I really really really hope they have a "Big Bang Build" planned where the UX finally comes together for everything. :/

Anyone else for "Big Bang Build" ?

3-4 pages of arguing over Libraries. I have a headache. :s

as against arguing how "All Apps" is ruined in Windows 10 whenever a new build comes out? :p

Fresh install off the ISO helped with my app issues, but I've lost 4x tile columns in Start. :(  I guess its a worthwhile tradeoff to have it more stable, though my pins keep moving around on me at random. (I'm looking at you Music)

 

Anyone else for "Big Bang Build" ?

 

I love it, a little stability fixing and its ready to go for most.  They can wait to add the polish/touch Big Bang updates in the fall/winter SP.  I gotta say, the way they pushed the upgrade notification is pure, if diabolical, marketing genius.   

Live Writer coming to Windows 10 by way of open source.

 

http://winbeta.org/news/windows-live-writer-will-be-open-sourced-microsoft-no-dates-set-yet

 

hmm the most uninteresting of the live apps. 

 

at least to Photo gallery and Windows Mail.  or just reactivate the projects internally and make new versions. 

I really hope they fix their relationship with FB.

I kinda enjoy having pictures of people in the People app, centralize all their info in one app,....

Would all this be solved if FB actually makes a Windows 10 App that MS can link in again like they do on WP8.1

Or am I missing something

fix ?

 

are you referring to the FB connect dropping from outlook and such ? there's no relationship to fix, it's just MS needs to switch from old deprecated API's to the new API's.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
