[OFFICIAL] Windows 10 Insider Program

It only takes about 10 seconds to right click them all and remove them from the menu, hardly a showstopper

This.

 

Not to mention MS is trying to show people their app store exists. Sure most advanced users will find this as a nuisance, but it's not like it's cumbersome to uninstall them. We aren't the only people that use Windows, think about the masses that might actually use some of the apps.

Heh... Cortana is giving me severe storm alerts. That's Kinda handy.

Did she shout "Auntie Em!! It's a twister!!" ?

[kozukumi]

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

 

Not from the All Apps menu. I will never use some of these Apps so just want them gone.

Yes to remove from the start menu but not from the All Apps list. Not all apps have an Uninstall option.

Cortana, "Tornado alert!" *as computer is sucked out of the window.

 

I am quite impressed at how stable and solid build 10166 is running, I had some real problems beforehand with explorer.exe crashing, gpu driver issues.  Gives me renewed hope for RTM.

Same here, which is great. I wish it'd say the alerts though.

Lots of apps updated, including Office, which no longer has the "Preview" tag.

Guess what? DWM is hacked on Windows 10, those thin borders? It is done with a trick:

You misspelled "done with code, as is every other bit of Windows."    What apps are effected by this?  Blur is pretty deliberately not supported in Windows 10 for window chrome at this time.  You might want to get cute at this point, but that's, as noted, not really a path to success.

I like how Microsoft is backing off UEFI a bit from friends comments while on vacation for the last 2 weeks.

 

Q: Can someone conirm this? I have been out of the loop for a while and interested to know for creating a dualboot system

 

My concern is STILL the icon issue. I'd replace my icons with Vista ones if I could by personal choice.

[xendrome]

UEFI hasn't changed a bit, and not sure what you mean by "backing off"

Microsoft doesn't own UEFI. You either use it or you don't. If your OEM system enables secure boot and doesn't have an option to disable it, that's the OEM, nothing to do with MS. This was covered in the 15 page forum topic a week or two ago 10000x over.

I thought we had a big convo with you about EFI already?... in another thread?

 

MS is not "backing off UEFI" if anything MS is backing off traditional BIOS's and going pure EFI

LOL, this again?

Meh, didn't think it was really news, just something interesting to note. Not that it should ever be a problem (I hope). Unless it breaks trying to update the OS style in the future. Who knows? I mean the BSOD was pretty hard to update in Windows 9 apparently.

Sometimes I don't know if we are being trolled or just ignorant posters.....

I suspect the latter.

Yeah, I should have responded to this when it was originally posted, what the DWM is doing seems perfectly normal and makes a lot of sense (Due to how input is handled).

I mean, the guy on Twitter edited it to use the background blur, but didn't provide a mask, so of course it's going to blur the entirety of the window frame.

Anyone else getting random sound loops while watching mp4 on the Film & TV app while using an Nvidia? I've got a GTX760 4GB and I'm getting that behaviour, the same drivers were fine in previous versions to 10166 though. Very annoying since Windows 10 has been nice up until then, hope they can sort it out before launch with some new drivers.

I've got no problems at all with a 980TI and 353.30 drivers.

Windows 9? Never heard about it except from rumors' side...(before we knew the real follower for Windows 8.1)

Windows 9 was skipped as a version number because lazy programmers in the 90's used "Windows 9* " as a shortcut to signify Windows 95, 98 and 98SE to denote possible install versions and if Microsoft had brought out Windows 9 then any programs done by those lazy programmers would have thought Windows 9 was 95 or 98 so it could have caused problems so they decided to skip it.

RTM hasn't leaked yet?

 

Well played MS

[DeusProto]

If 10.0.10240.16388 or any other build was sent to OEMs as some sources have claimed, then it won't be long for it to leak.

 

Or if it goes to OEMs today, I'd guess the ISOs will be floating around by midnight pacific time.

[PsYcHoKiLLa]

You won't be able to install it without a serial though?

[MikeM97]

How about our ex skip button? (I had it in 10166)

What happened to Hyper-V integration services in Windows 10?

 

EDIT: Looks like they will from now on be delivered through Windows Update. How the hell would that work, when XP for example is long dead?
