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.

I'm not 100% sure I trust the upgrade feature you get by just running the ISO, and I don't want to do a full reinstall. Also, is there any guarantee you will be able to actually upgrade past this build once an actual Insider release comes along?

 

Buuuut... now that I think about it, I do have all my data backed up in several different places... And I can roll back...

 

EDIT: Did this build not ask you to enter in a key? It did in my VM (twice, in fact) though I could just skip it.

Well, no, it didn't. When you upgrade, it just takes the key from your current Windows installation and you're good to go. No activation required. It honestly is an amazing build to run native. :)

 

Also, so far, every leaked build has been able to upgrade to the official Insider Preview (except for one that had a bug in the upgrade setup, but that was a bug, not ment to be like that).

 

Further, Edge has been much improved. This is the first build where I use Edge as my main browser.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum.

Mail and calendar updates with new icons and ui updates

There's also a Note option in the action centre.

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

By the look of the first screenshot, it would appear that, finally, they fixed the bug that prevented the calendar from showing Monday as the first day of the week :)

No longer valid, but I suppose it doesn't overly matter.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.

10147 is activated here (upgraded from 10130) - it did NOT autofix the NVidia-related driver issue that I had with 10130 (any NVidia driver faults/unloads with code 43).  One noticeable change from 10130 - the Edge browser now has its own icon (not the Project Spartan icon), and there are other new apps referred to in the OOBE (I haven't looked at those yet). If I can fix the NV driver woes, I can go exploring viz. the new apps.

Anyone know how to activate this build?

If you are running in a VM, try the same key from 10130 (I installed over 10130 and stayed activated - no prompting at all).  Did anyone manage to solve the NVidia driver issues (either with 10130 or this build) - any driver I have tried falls down with code 43 - that includes Windows 8's 356.12 hotfix driver for 8.x.  It is, in fact, the only issue I am having.

In reference to the (so far) lack of other issues, I mean it - in fact, 10147 is darn snappy compared to 10130, despite the driver issue.

Some crazy spacing in the start screen, according to Neowin screencaps :x

 

I hope they get their thing straight by the next month.

 

That could just be due to the VM, I've seen a video of it installed on a Dell XPS 13 and it's not an issue, looks much like 8.1.

DO NOT reset your phone if you've installed the latest build. If will ###### up everything, and you will have to roll back using the app. Now I do not have any phone or messaging functionality, Settings, or any way to do anything on the device. For flying crap's sake, how the flip do they even release such things in the public.

 

I am never touching this phone ###### again.

as a beta tester, you should know that the software will be contain bugs

 

and nothing was released publicly, you opted in and chose to use the software, nobody forced you to install it.

The External ring has lost its 10134 build, which means another will have to take its place soon. We might get an official release today or tomorrow (build 10148 or higher, 10147 is not in any testring inside Microsoft anymore).

I ran into that problem the first time. I now have a "stable" clean Windows 10 mobile build on my Lumia 920. You should follow the phone thread.

Can anyone share the imageres.dll from the leaked 10147 build? I found the .ico files, but changing thme one by one isn't an option and icon changer duplicated some icons inside the .ico file.

 

Damn, some dude should automatically upload the new imageres.dll from any new build so I won't have to ask again and again and again for the new imageres.dll whenever a new build comes out. :p

 

Edit: nvm, I found a link in MDL that contains both imageres and shell32 files https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwZK7RUmQrtjY2xEOGxkZzhuLVk/view for anyone that wants/needs it.

I did reset mine and it went fine.  But yeah, I'm far more disappointed in the phone builds and plan to stick with 8.1 instead of wasting so much time.  I know they're further from launch so it's not really a shock, though.

There was somewhere on promotional images a logo associated with Edge - almost same like Spartan but grid was more dense - bit like here:

now this looks more like a gyroscope than a globe. I think both icons look terrible.

Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive. Built-in audio mixer Kdenlive 26.04.2 changelog: Remove not needed actions from render info, fix rough size calculation for rendering.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
