The Movies & TV app also is getting a new icon with the latest update. Also, the Movies & TV app now no longer has a background on the taskbar, similar to OneNote.

 

And there is a security update rolling out.

What annoys me the most about Win10 right now is, as a left handed person, when the start screen is in full screen mode you can't scroll the screen with your left hand. That part of the screen is not usable when then hamburger menu is collapsed.

For lefties it would be nice if that area could be used for scrolling the start screen vertically.

For those of you having issues to get apps updated on the Beta Store, try the following:

1. Run Windows Powershell with admin privileges

2. Type in this string and hit Enter:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

NOTE: Some warnings in red text will appear. Just ignore them.

3. If the problem persist, try with the following commands:

$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '.\AppxManifest.xml'

Press ENTER and then:

$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '.\AppxManifest.xml'

I hope this helps those of you experiencing this issue.

Cheers!

PS: By the way, build 10150 has reached the Canary Ring:

For anyone that actually bothers to keep up with the news of Windows 10, and not just pretend to, then you would know that Gabe Aul mentioned himself there would be more builds released leading up to RTM and also afterwards since the insider program will continue.

 

Been known about for a little while now. So there's no reason for the attitude you had with your post.

 

Gabe Aul's pretty open on his Twitter account regarding when builds are being looked at as a possible insider releases. It's where most people are getting their release info from when a build gets released or is about to be released.

 

This time...I agree with you.

 

Jeez, you are being a little needlessly hostile aren't you? Go take your nerd attitude somewhere else.

 

So,you're going to call us all ''nerds'' if we'll try to help you?

The new video icon is just the old one without the play-icon in it.

 

So it's just a empty square?  I suppose you could think of it as a blank screen in this case.

Wonder if there will be some significance of this build number..  We got 10130 already, but already 20 days have passed.  Should be fixing bugs at this point so maybe this one will be a keeper and be released somehow.  Just FYI.

This is perhaps better in the Windows 10 Technical Preview topic. However, it isn't much news. Being in the fbl_impressive branch does not mean that it will get released. For now, 10148 is the best chance we have (and 10150 comes as second best). 10148 was released to the OSG Ring today, they have had quiet some builds over the past days (43/44/46/47/48 have all reached them), but non ever maid it to the External Ring... To bad.

I have installed the windows 10 technical preview in my Lumia 532 but the settings is not updated and also the phone update option is not working properly. Please guide to solve these issues. Else it is awesome.

 

This is the thread for the PC version, I think there is another thread for the Windows Phone build.

He means the newer old icon, not the old old icon. It looks like this now.

2h6db1u.png?

 

It used to have a play icon.

So it looks like all modern apps will lose it's tile from the taskbar and will have only the white icon there.

Build 10147 (fbl_impressive) is being leaked right now, not sure wheter or not it is a safe version.

And just as fast it's gone. Taken down at the source, and there doesn't appear to be an alternate version anywhere.

 

I am so very disappointed in the Internet today.

Quick question guys, hopefully someone will know.

 

I'm buying an M.2 SSD tomorrow, this one to be exact. I've watched a couple of guides on installing Windows using this drive, including this one, in the video the guy explains that you should choose UEFI mode when installing Windows 8 but obviously I want to install Windows 10, so, finally to the question, does anyone know if these Windows 10 ISOs that have been released (the official builds of course) are UEFI compatible?

The other guys would know better, but I have used BIOS compatability mode and had no issues....Cheers

    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
