Those updates changed a lot in the various universal apps. It's the price you pay for using a beta, sorry.

 

Seriously like I said... I DONT HAVE PROBLEM WITH BETA, at least you know me since I test browser and update them quite a lot.

 

Is Microsoft Office 2013 still Beta? Is One Note Universal apps needs to coexist with Desktop app?

 

Its that they need to improve their update mechanism... Universal apps are quite bulky, it can cause them issue later on.. So I'm more like complaining that did they planning ahead.

 

Just simple that...

Looks like OneNote got a massive update, yet Microsoft continues to ignore feedback on it, providing yet another example of how Windows Insiders is nothing more than sham.

But, don't worry guys, Windows 10 has transparency, so everything magically works now. :crazy:

 

The OneNote icon lacks a background!

Store (Beta) is very buggy in terms of the update / download mechanism. It needs manual intervention to even manage to download things.

 

I was wondering if App patches are Delta patches or if they redownload the whole app somehow. Are Delta patches even possible with Universal Apps?

It could be possible what you said that it could be bugs.

Try "wsreset.exe" from the search box if the Store won't show app updates. Give it a minute to check. That's what I've been using anytime they won't appear on 10130.

 

Another I've tried in an older build that worked was resetting your region even if it's the right one. For some reason on an older build that would make the app updates appear.

It appears they have started to update all the apps to match each other in interface design. Good thing, it brings a lot more consistency arround. Also, glad they are finaly giving OneNote a colored titlebar, the other Office apps will follow soon I hope.

It's looking like the reason apps have had a locked grey title bar is because, like the onenote app, MS plans to extend the apps color all the way to the top, like the new office apps do as well.  I'm fine with that, if you don't do that then the title bar should use your chosen accent color though.

Wonder if this will be the case for Win32 programs as well. That would be nice.

The Canary ring has once again shifted build from 10144 to 10146, and no changes in the OSG Ring. I wonder what issues they are running up to that they don't release any build to Insiders or at least to their OSG and External Ring, which both are on 10134.

They should have released 10134 to the Fast ring, really. Gabe said it was better than 10130, I don't know if they just thought it was too soon, but I don't think anyone would have been bothered by it.

Personally, I'm not sure what good releasing builds at this point is going to do. Microsoft's all but done with feedback at this point.

So you can adapt and embrace change before it is released?

He's right though, they have to work on actually finishing the OS at this point not fiddling with the flashy bits.

Isn't that part of the Windows feedback and one of the reasons we have these previews?  When I do x ... y stops working/happens/etc.

 

Didn't realize it was just for requesting new/remove features...etc.

Exactly. Feedback isn't just request features, it's reporting bugs, more so in this final stage. More builds would be good to make sure there aren't any bugs when the release build comes.

If some of you actually don't understand why or think MS should just stop releasing builds, stop posting in here and stop using the preview. You just made it clear you have no freaking clue what you're doing or talking about or you're just trolling at this point.

 

They have made it pretty freaking clear why they are still releasing builds up to and after RTM. I shouldn't have to explain why because anyone who has been following its development from day one would know. If you honestly don't understand then I feel a small bit of sadness for you.

 

Anyone who knows why they are still releasing builds, but finds it pointless, is trolling or annoyed because suggestions they made were ignored. Plain and simple. You can't stand that others (many, MANY others) don't like the same as you and it annoys the hell out of you lol. Shows that you also think that you're above others and what you want maters more. Doesn't work that way. Sorry.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
