Does this build fix the issues some have with 14366?   I also expect another build next week, if not two.

It does not take so long to run an exe with this build. There may may 2 every week since the final release is less than a month away.

i noticed new setting option in Windows Update (build 14367)

 

"use my sign in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update"

 

or is it their from before ???

Started with 14291 iirc...so yea...fairly new.

I am running insider 14371 on my 950XL in the US and don't see the new Wallet app (version is not 2.0). Is the app just not available yet or something funky going on with store again?

 

I am also missing the new Ringtone Maker app, keep on getting the older version from store. :/

LOL...almost 24 hrs after I started complaining everywhere (twitter, reddit and then here), the ringtone maker app suddenly received an update and now I have the new version.

So we all have to complain more I guess?

I don't have the build handy to take screenshots, but I saw this one.

Got a nice update to the Photos app. Toolbar icon labels are now shown to the right instead of hidden underneath. Preview images for DNG files are also recognized now.

Thanks for the heads-up, just checked store for updates and there it was!

MICROSOFT_KILLED_MESSAGING_EVERYWHERE :( NOOOOOO! 

 

I can't believe it. 

 

It sounds like they did, and they didn't.   It sounds to me like they're going to put it into Skype?   I hear the new SKype UWP app is coming along nicely, so if it's a good app then I can see it working out fine that way.

Seriously...WTF are they doing with this? Make a decision and stick to it. I am so used to receiving and making Skype calls from the Messaging app that I was already unhappy with RS builds but the Messaging Everywhere was their saving grace (kind of)

I can't believe they are putting any faith in the incompetent Skype team. The blog post makes me think that Skype UWP won't make the AU release date and we will have the barely functional Skype app for many months.

There's a newer SKype app, I don't think it's out but I've seen screens posted of it, well on mobile that is,  I think it's an internal build atm and not out to insiders yet.   I hear it's pretty good, so we'll wait and see.    I'm with you, someone needs to step in and take control of Skype instead of letting it do it's own thing, maybe that's finally happening though?

 

Since I moved over to Android and don't have a W10M phone I can't really test this, doesn't android need Cortana to get this to work btw or am I off?

But integrating SMS into Skype is somewhat confusing. Apple's Messages app handles the iMessage and SMS, iMessage does not handle iMessages and SMS.

MS might just decide to make Skype the only app and get rid of the basic Messages app going forward?  If you don't sign in with a skype for example it could just default to sms only.

So, did the upgrade to the latest Insider Preview on the fast ring. Everything looks fine... except restart and shut down don't work now. The PC's power button doesn't work to shut down the PC now.

 

Any thoughts or ways to fix this? Or do I have to refresh the PC and start anew?

 

EDIT: Turned off fast startup and oddly they're working now. Yay!

Is it just me, or is Chrome (when maximized) cut off on the top and bottom (looks like they extend outside by a few pixels)?

No, you are definitely right.  Cut off by ~3-5 pixels maybe?

Well, yes. It looks like it extends out of frame on the top, and several pixels below the border of the taskbar on the bottom.

 

I wonder if there's any open Chrome bugs regarding this one.

I wonder if it's got something to do with the changes they might have done to scaling/DPI?   Are you guys running at 100% or at something higher?

 

Also, knowing MS, and how quick they've sped things up in this final stretch, I expect another build to hit fast ring before the weekend.

    • This saddens me greatly
    • Well again I do not mind seeing it charge my stuff if it does it well. "yeah charge my phone like that, charge it good"
    • Getting so tired of this push for that new useless slop over the less-useless old slop that at this point I just want M$ to have this nice, big, hearty cup of *FU*.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
