Glad it's not just me! :D

 

Though, the audio issues still remain - reading from the reports, a lot of people are experiencing it so hopefully a patch is issued sooner than later. Not that it really affects me when listening to music since I can still listen to 24/192 using ASIO.

I updated from 10130 to 10158 without any problem yesterday running in Hyper-V.

WU sees 10159 and says it's downloading, but it stays at 0%

Anybody else have this issue?

I tried restarting the VM but no luck so far

Ouch.

Funny thing, thought it was said that xp users couldn't get a free upgrade thru preview builds, when i ran winver on 10159 just now i saw: licensed to: [email protected]. Anyways on store icon being corrupted its not for me.

They can't.

Thanks for posting the links, worked great and got me out of a mess I had with build 10158....Cheers

In build 10158, multiple failures the longer it ran when I took it off local and went with my MS account. I have build 10159 running now, in local account and everything working so far. I will not change to MS account for a few weeks and see how this works...unless a newer build comes out and I'll change accounts....can't believe the damage I had switching accounts.....maybe I botched something, but all is well in local account for my "desktop" environment for Win32/64, audio great, video, torrent, multiple browser, visual studio, VMware....all good....so far...Cheers

 

Note....build 10158 jammed me in local account ( could not get it out of local account) when I switched back from MS account after a good verification. Windows asked if I wanted to use local after MS account verification done....strange. Ended up doing an ESD to ISO and upgraded from 10158 to 10159

 

Build 10159 has a new "express setting or use custom install" option (apps settings) when using the ISO for upgrade

They said that is wasn't an upgrade path for Windows XP users to the final relese and to stay there. If you continue to use the Windows Insider Preview you'll continue to be activated, no matter what OS you where using before, if any. But if you stick on the RTM build, it will deactivate avfter a while.

Updated to build 10159 this morning and my store won't open. When I was on 10158 everything worked except the photos app, after updating to 10159 the photos app DOES work but the store and OneNote won't open :(

Yeah I suppose the white color isn't a huge deal if they could make inactive windows more obvious, like a dark grey or even better transparent. I am using the dark theme in Edge and love it. I wish that would be an option system wide. I still don't like the idea of multiple themes going on. I like a unified OS.

 

?

 

I submitted feedback for exactly that. Let's wait and see.

I doubt they're accepting suggestions for the RTM anymore, any updates would be after RTM now and most likely some time after as well

Yah, I have to admit I'll never understand why companies keep doing that: images tend to be rectangular/square so it really doesn't make much sense for force content into a circle. Some joke about a square peg in a round hole would be appropriate at this point. :D

If you use W10M, the circular picture makes sense. You can't roll in a square.

And they roll!

 

Sigh, it sees the latest build but refuses to download for me. Still stuck at 0% :(

 

Go into services and stop the windows update service then run the disk cleanup utility (I put a check mark next to everything). Then start windows update backup and try the update again. Oddly that worked for me

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.

    • 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.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • 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.
