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..

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
