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.

Never mind, I thought you were talking about the PC version.

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.

    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
