Settings app also has some new transitions, a 'pop effect'.

 

It also uses your accent colour now.

 

Edge branding is in this build.

 

More apps are showing on the taskbar without a tile now, such as Music - updated with a new icon too.

 

New tile transitions, they slide up with a slower finish now - looks good.

Tablet mode now has a Power and all apps option right on the start screen.

Tablet mode has some minor changes I think, check it out, there should be new icons visible at the bottom and not just the hamburger menu at the top like before.

 

I got a network issue after update 10130....unidentified network, no internet access, also battery is draining very quickly. so i restored my previous build 10074

 

please help to upgrade successfully.

 

 

That happened to me before, I think I uninstalled the network device and restarted and it installed the device with it's own drivers again.

Wzor's twitter folk seem to think this key : 6P99N-YF42M-TPGBG-9VMJP-YKHCF

No longer valid, but I suppose it doesn't overly matter. People are really only downloading this to see what's new in a VM, so it won't matter if it can't activate. The VM will probably survive for roughly an hour before being destroyed anyhow.

I'm running it on my main machine, not in a VM. :p Anyway, didn't get any activation warning either.

 

I'm having a blast, through. This version seems to work an aweful lot better then build 10130. No regrets here. Now onto the next official preview build.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • 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.
