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.

 

If I were you,I wouldn't generalize that much...

Nothing,but arguing about what should and what should not MS do is a kind of a forbidden thing.

Greetings,MikeM97.

3D Builder still stuck, and Outlook Mail still crashing all over the place or not rendering mails properly.

You know, I keep uninstalling 3D Builder, and the dang thing keep re-installing itself. :angry:

same here. and the store updates interface looks awful

If you ask me, the whole store interface looks aweful. Like why the hell does it have its own back button on top of the interface and not just an in-titlebar button that is replaced by the back button in the taskbar in tablet mode. I expect them to give to store another overhaul by the time we reach RTM.

 

Also, more icons are switching to the style of Music and Calculator, it appear s to be a new design que or something.

I'm sure it's still going to be changed. Every app is now getting the back button on the title bar, should be coming to the Store soon too. I really want a new PC build, more than a phone build. 10130 has been a little annoying for me. The latest Intel GFX driver has been doing well, but it's still a little worse than in previous builds.

His source is Gabe Aul's Twitter account.

 

@Studio384

 

It helps to link to sources when you post stuff like that. Gabe's Twitter is the only place you could have got that news from since that's where everyone else got it. You do that a lot and never link to the source like you want people to think the source is you. It's clear that you are not.

 

Gabe himself said it may take up to 24 hours to get it out. That makes it tomorrow. Why are you adding Wednesday? No reason to add on to it like that.

Yeah, no. Whenever I post something like that I always say "Gabe confirmed...", sure, this time I forgot, but otherwise I always mention that info. It nice that within 24 hours is Tuesday for you, but for some people it is Wednesday if 24 hours have passed. Neither did he say that it will be released in 24 hours, he said that the preparation time is 24 hours.

 I see that, maybe a release this week ? Is it possible ?

 

Well, the shortest timeframe we've ever had was 4 days from compilation to release to Fast ring, so it is possible, but if that build reaches Insiders, it will be at least Wednesday.

Here is a video of the problem I am having with Edge. I just did a clean install but it didn't fix it. Does it seem to look like a video card driver issue?

My Stream 7's battery life took a nose dive with build 10130 and I think the culprit is Spartan. The battery just dies in 3-4 hrs in standby if I keep Spartan open whereas the tablet easily went 10+ hrs in standby with IE open in 10122.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly. Deletion messaging — Refined localized task deletion text for clarity and consistency. Text wrapping — Improved URI input wrapping and task name multiline display. Navigation layout — Improved sub-navigation responsiveness. Disk allocation default — Changed the default file allocation method to trunc. Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

    • AMD 9070XT

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
