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.

Start crashes and doesn't open on build 10166. Great job Microsoft, can't wait for RTM! It'll be golden!

Seriously, I thought we were past this?

 

I am looking forward to RTM day if this is the best they're doing!, it will be glorious, not seen the like since Windows ME :D

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.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By thartist · Posted

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.

      Ok.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud. Logitech MX Creative Console Graphite - $159.99 | 20% off on Amazon Logitech MX Creative Console Pale Gray - $159.99 | 20% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
