I really want to see another build of this cos 10166 is crap for me, Windows Explorer is locking up at random and restarting, video stop at random in the Film and TV app saying the file is in use....yes it is in use...BY THE FILM AND TV APP!

It only shows up if you have the hardware that supports each type.

 

Nice video demoing the realsense camera unlock, it really is as fast as it was shown on the stage.

 

*snipped*

 

This is the only camera that supports it at the moment but it's supposed to be developer only....you know...like the Oculus was ;)

i  just renumber seeing that option in my laptop which has both camera and fingerprint scanner

sounds like different hardware configuration

 

this build is working perfectly for "me" :p or got to be the best so far (9968 or something was garbage)

My hardware hasn't changed. I've been testing the builds on the same PC and it's not done this so far until this build, I'm suspecting it's another application that's running but I can't see which one is doing it.

It was happening before I installed the Pin More app though

Just had a thought, I had installed beta drivers from my motherboard website, have a suspicion it may be something to do with that. I feel a reinstall coming on :(

i am hoping they give back the option to turn off conversation mode in the email app....no idea why that was removed :(

Anyone noticed that, even though Windows 10 has a calendar installed by default, it won't let you choose it in the default apps as a calendar? Fancy upvoting it in feedback, someone has already reported it.

 

 

(Just re-installed 10166 by the way, will stick with the prescribed drivers for now I think)

Well he must've lied about the isos then:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/preview-iso-update-1504

 

The ISOs for Build 10162 are still there...

It says next 24 hours.

It hasn't been 24 hours yet.

Anyone here know if I can have the file explorer look the same as it did it win 7?

Maybe you should try OldNewExplorer if you want to remove the ribbon from File Explorer (and thus restoring the command bar like in Windows 7). :)

In what way? If you go to Folder Options you can change the default open location from Quick Access to This PC. You can most likely remove the Quick Access section in the top of the location panel on the left via a registry tweak.

What's up with the built-in UWP apps? I noticed it more and more that not only some of then start and display their contents instantly, but often even their states are saved the same way you've left it (like with OneNote, you pick up exactly where you left it), same with the rest of the Office apps, and more.

 

Not only that, but the experience is shared with the mobile counterpart too, you'll be see a lot less "resuming" going on, and a lot less apps being put into a "have to wait for it to recover" suspend state. Meaning that you'll have almost all of the open apps still visible in the recent apps list in mobile builds.

 

Now this is what I call quite the evolution with Windows Runtime! :D

Anyone know if there is a guide or script (powershell) to remove the otherwise unremoveable modern apps? Things like Music, Xbox, Calendar, Mail, etc? I have no use for them and I cannot find a way to remove them from Start without uninstalling which is annoing.

Can't you just right click on them and unpin from Start? I tried it and it works fine.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
