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.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
