You'll know if 14390 is final or not if they start using the delta and pushing out smaller patches, till then we could get another build.    You'll only know for sure once you see something like 14390.1001 or 14390.1004  etc.

What do you mean by "the delta"?

The other string of numbers after the build number is the delta.   Like right now, the public build is at 10586.494, 494 is the delta which is the part that changes every month when we get a new cumulative update.    The only way to know if 14390 is the final RS1 build is if MS sticks to it and we start to see something like 14390.xxxx come out.    Even though they pick a final build for release, they're still going to be patching it, that's where the delta in the build string comes into play.

Got it, Thank-you for explaining :)

Rumors say that Windows 10 build 14390 is RTM

 

According to rumors circulating on the internet, Microsoft is going to sign off Windows 10 build 14390 as the RTM build of Anniversary Update. This marks the end of the development cycle of Windows 10 Anniversary Update, known as version 1607 or Redstone 1.

No Dona says the build 14390 is not the RTM version

That is good as this one is not ready for prime time. Build 14388 was better.

Could you be any more vague? What is better?

Maybe that is why it says Rumors. Sometimes they are true. I know what Dona said

Backpedaling on your part. You were so sure it was rtm that you said it as if it were a fact, not a rumor. Dona says otherwise and yet you decide to post a BS link? Yeah right. You are just trying to save face from earlier.

No I just found that link so I posted it. Since you seem to know it all you should know what is different and there would be no need for me to tell you/

I do know what is different. It's not the release build, period. So maybe you should stop misleading others.

Edge still sucks right now. I thought the whole point of Edge was to have it be an app that could be updated separately of the OS. I don't think that has ever happened. One feature I just realized was missing from Edge (because I use it so rarely) is not auto-playing any videos. Chrome automatically stops Youtube videos from playing so I can open a lot of them in new tabs queue them up to watch.

I saw nothing saying that. Care to link directly to it?

Scroll down till you see this.  And watch it and the posts below. At this point I do not know it is past that time frame.

Not sure I agree. I've been using Firefox since 10 came out. However, with the recent RS releases I've been using Edge and I find it rock solid and fast.

14393 is coming, and it looks like it's the final/RTM build, this gives them a good bit of time to find and fix any bugs to make it super stable before August 2nd.

I think I already posted something to that effect.

    • 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

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      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.
