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.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
