Soooo on 10162 I have zero options to change rings for slow or fast and cannot get the new build. I'm signed in with my registered account too.

 

 

Appears for me. Though there was a slight 500ms-1.2s delay for the "Get insider builds" section to appear/render.

All of these are still here in build 10166, with the exception of the fourth bullet.

In fact, bullet no. 2? seems to have gotten worse, with even more apps having messed up sizes.

Here is what I get.

Apple sells more than just 6 and 6S. They are also selling 4S, 5C and 5S in India.

Fun fact: iPhone 4S is giving tough competition to low end Android brands here. :laugh:

...

They're still selling them here too :laugh:

They're not the main platforms though, Apple only ever push the main 2 hardware designs the the older ones get relegated to the background, and are only supported by virtue of users still owning them (That is, Apple doesn't go out of their way to support them, only because a lot of people still own them do they get updates)

They've talked about key areas where Lumia has been held back in my view, one of those was the speed at which they released newer phones, not so much more with slightly different specs but actual new devices, look at the long gap between the 930 and any possible 940 etc.   They talk about releasing faster, which is good, 8-12 months between flagship devices should be just right I'd say.

 

The other thing is any carrier exclusive deals, just kill those and release everything unlocked directly.

Also experiencing this, in addition to it being slow to open when it DOES work (along with the XAML based jumplists).

I don't understand why MS office has the damn upload center for one drive files, when you have one drive either as a separate service or built in on newer versions... the damn upload center seems to f up constantly and end up in some way or another unable to upload or update files. Why can't office just use the regular one drive folder like every other application.

Anyone have iTunes appearing twice when pinned to taskbar? I've tried uninstalling and removed all the Apple directories and looked in the AppData shortcuts and found no duplicates.

Also have a weird bug with the taskbar, spotify icons appears 10seconds after my chrome and file explorer icon :s

Got rid of the whole onedrive integration :D

 

The documents and pictures folder to onedrive redirect drove me nuts...

There's still a problem with the tiles. Each time we click start and move fast over a tile, the select box does not highlight the current tile, but the upper one. Clicking very fast will open the upper tile, and not the current one.

Did you tried pinning the new instance and unpinning the old one? That generally fixes the issue.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years

      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 LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      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.
