Yup, using the same e-mail I've been using since November. Only difference I can think of is my PC is using secure boot, surely that couldn't be it?

 

Tried updating all your apps in the Store beta? Looks like it hasn't downloaded the music preview or updated the store

 

Store beta doesn't show any new updates. :s 

Why I can't get more than 2 groups with 3 columns each one. It still feel like some wasted space in the Start Screen. I rather just 1 group with 6 rows than 2 with 3 each one, and a huge gap between them.

 

Besides that, so far, so good.

Hey guys, I just updated to the new build and I have a minor annoyance.

After updating, these old broken app shortcuts are stuck in the all apps menu and I have no way to remove them (uninstalling them does nothing). Any help?

Windows Store (Green tile) has been removed in build 10158. That's why you have a broken link. You have Windows Store in Grey tile. It's out of beta.

 

To get rid of them, do the reset and your problem will be solved.. If not, send feedback to MS and they will fix in next update.

So even in this new version, which is supposedly very close to the release version, the touch keyboard is utterly useless as it still opens on top/over applications instead of resizing them, making it cover the text fields you are writing in.

 

sadly in the first open preview builds, the keyboard actually worked properly and resized the apps, even desktop. so you could see what you where writing, but then they decided that seeing what you are writing was a terrible idea...

You know for some reason on Windows 10 Mobile the keyboard does this too in certain places.

Just installed 10158. Is anyone having issues where the store immediately crashes when reinstalling an app?

 

My antivirus software (for some retarded reason) deleted the Money and Sports apps because it thought they were viruses, and I can't restore them, so I have to try redownloading them.

Thanks for keeping me "safe"  :crazy:

Heurestics, the maker of false positives and killed of performance on the greatest of computers.

 

Heurestics needs to be off or at the very least on the lowest setting. I don't think heuretics has ever actually stopped a virus that wasn't in the definitions anyway. If it ever did it was on server heurestics with entirely different analytics. But even mail server heurestics didn't manage to stop obvious viruses like I love you back in the day...

After updating the Xbox app Xbox One game streaming no longer works correctly for me. It stays connected for around 5 seconds then the app completely disconnects from the console. As long as I am not streaming it stays connected.

Anyone know how to make the store stop crashing when I press "Reinstall App"? wsreset.exe doesn't work. Anyone have some sort of magical powershell script that would do it?

 

My antivirus wiped out the Money and Sports app and I'd like them back, even if I never use them.

Just installed Build 10158 from WU.........update worked great from build 10130....must be lucky......would not allow AVG2015 Free, which I've used for all these builds...will have to investigate...would not even use 7 or 8 compatibility mode for AVG...and as usual, will have to re-install printers again, same as other builds. 

Other than that, so far looks good.....Play Time....... :woot:

I haven't really ever gotten into tiles.  

But really?

Why can't I make this not as wide?  

also, it would be nice to just start typing and have the programs pop up and then select them, is there a way to do this?

 

In the last build you could resize that part of the Start Menu like any other Window.. can you still do that?  You could also "start typing" like Windows 8.1 and results showed up in the start menu.

So how does the Office365 integration work?  Where do you link the account?

 

Yay, cubes are back...though I do like the explode on launch animation in WP.  Action center is shaping up.

It should just work, if the Windows sign-in account and Office account is the same of course.

I only got 365 a couple of days ago and straight away my 10 VM started downloading OneNote and Outlook, that's without having opted into the 2016 preview.

Means there must be untrusted apps  :shifty:

Auto-hide taskbar in tablet mode has to be the last big option people have asked for, followed by full screen all apps which won't make it in, but could with the first update.

How about vertical scrolling on Start?

No one really cares which is why its not being added.

Oh so you're saying i'm a no one? Thanks, I really needed that :uberhump:

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
