What is stopping you from doing it now?

I do not have the final release, it will be likely released tomorrow . I also do not want to wait till 8.2. I have dropped out 3 times and came back. So my absence may be only temporary.

Is it just me, or is 64-bit Chrome (when maximized) cut off on the top and bottom (looks like they extend outside by a few pixels)?

If you have that problem, download TinyWindowsBorders and get rid of the 4px border padding, that gets rid of that issue for me, though I hear it's fixed in the latest builds.

That issue was fixed with build 10388

I haven't upgraded to 14388, i'm still on 14385

Anybody else not able to get the touch numpad on screen on the lockscreen?

I had no problem with the previous version but now, no matter what i do, i can't get it to show up.

 

Edge still has some weird issues with Neowin. Certain articles you can get to if you click on the news part, but clicking on the same article in the mini-spy gives you an error. Looking at the address it always has a weird symbol in it.

 

Quoting doesn't really work. Only if you first click in the teext box and then scroll back up and click quote. Really annoying

 

Liking some ones post sometimes works, sometimes gives an error if you use touch.

I'm finding, apart from the issue with the window borders that there are no stability issues with Chrome on these builds, it's mostly a cosmetic bug. That aside, it certainly feels stable enough to be released pretty soon.

It will be in about 1 hour I think.

It is the RTM

If this is indeed the RTM then you should be able to leave the insider program in this version.

If not it will only allow you to postpone for a few days.

 

Which one is it?

Read what I posted and try to comprehend it. The last Build said Release_escrow. Are you in The IP?

All you are doing is speculating that this will be the "RTM", there is no confirmation from MS yet about this. So please don't tell me i struggle with reading comprehension, we all know that's your thing ;)

 

Yes i am in the insider program. I don't have a very fast internet connection so i don't download every single new version that comes out.

 

Forgot who i read it from, but it's either Thurrott or Daniel Rubino. once the final version is released you should be able to leave the insider program and switch back to the normal releases. If it's not the final version all you can do is postpone the new releases for 1 to 7 days.

 

Since you seem to have installed this, I'm asking you. Can you leave the program now or can you just postpone. That should give you an indication if this is indeed the "RTM" version or not.

I have left the program on 3 separate occasions I started on 02/19/2015 and then I left when it went final to 10240. When 10586 went Final last November I left again. I came back to it again in January and have stayed in since then. Once you become an insider you can drop out and come back as many times as you wish.  I was told that it would go RTM on The 15th of July as it has to get to all of the OEMs before August 2nd when it goes public. I have no idea about the Phone build.

So can you try and leave the program right now if you installed this latest version.

What does it let you do? Postpone Fast/Slow builds for a few days or does it let you select production ring, or whatever it is called.

You can opt out entirely but this is not the RTM I was incorrect in saying that it was. Sorry..

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

    • No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.
    • Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
