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)

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.

    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
    • Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
