ISO download not working for Microsoft 14295 for any one else?

Just realized that Mail got the ability to modify/create/delete folders. Not a feature that I use frequently, but it is nice to see that they added it.

Question: I have Education N from my school, i've trying to get Redstone builds and nothing shows up
So, are N editions of Windows supported on the Insider Preview or not?
Settings are all good, and yet nothing shows up, so i have no idea why i'm not getting builds.

Looks like Feedback Hub has now added status tags to feedback items.

Also in 14295, file names are left justified

Hmm Neowin hasn't been following the news about these features very well. I sent a news tip in about the video, and they could've done a ton of articles on the things in that video, but I haven't seen a single post.

Maybe you'd be interested in a writing position? Why not give it a spin?

Can't wait to see the new Mail app arrive. The current version looks nice but suffers from lack of features, and could be better integrated with Cortana, Calendar, People, and Maps.

If only I had time, I would  However, I just have to stick with sending in news tips. 

 

For the mail app that looks like it'll be the Outlook app, not the Mail app, the one that requires an O365 subscription. Hopefully they can improve the Mail app though with features from Accompli and Calendar with features from Sunrise on both PC and Mobile.

Looks like another build is coming soon.

HOLY GUACAMOLE! There are so many new features!

 

My favorite coming soon:

Quote

Messaging Everywhere Preview Coming Soon: We will soon be enabling a preview of the “Messaging everywhere” feature in Windows 10 that allows you to send and receive text messages from your phone directly from your Windows 10 PC’s. You will see options for this feature in the Messaging app on PC however an update is required for the Messaging app for Mobile for this experience to work. More to come on this when the experience is live.

or maybe its the ability to pin a window so that it exists across all virtual desktops...

All the update screens changed - not even ONE was kept from 14295.  They went with a smaller type, different color - different everything.

 

You can now access Programs and Features with NO stops at Control Panel -  System->Apps and Features->Programs and Features. (Why was I going to Programs and Features?  Installing the Ubuntu Subsystem for Windows beta, of course.)

What is an interesting twist is that the terms and conditions for Ubuntu on Windows are being hosted by Microsoft - not Canonical - https://aka.ms/uowterms.

Anyone else lose sound after the update?

 

UPDATE: Wow, dumb user error. Seems like the update reset my audio device to a USB one that I am not using anymore. Changed it and audio is fine.

To enable Cortana on Lockscreen:

Open Regedit

Navigate to HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech_OneCore\Preferences\

Create new DWORD called VoiceActivationEnableAboveLockscreen

Set Value to 1

Reboot and enable Hey Cortana
