To you its ugly to most of us it looks good

 

Nice wording to try and belittle his opinion.  Some like it, some don't.  It's like reading a book with all the other pages behind it blurring through to the one the reader is trying to see.  Some think that's pretty, others think it just makes the page more difficult to read.

 

Let's just be thankful that it can be toggled to your heart's content.

I wish where the "most used" application list is that we could pin to the start menu there, that's what I thought was coming back, not just a most used list... I usually turn most used tracking off... I usually have a static list I build... guess I just have to do this with big tiles now... ugh... I thought earlier previews let you pin to that area like the old start menu did

 

I swear at least one older build let you do this, because I was excited I could do that again when I was testing an older build...

Has anyone noticed that there is no indicator on the taskbar for when a program is running? Very irritating.

there's no indication of process bar info when app is on background, otherwise there is that gray line indicator for running apps

They showed some mock-ups of the Xbox app's first run at GDC, and here's transparency again, and decent window chrome... Really hope these make it into the final version.

I know this post is a bit old but I hope the company includes that wallpaper with the RTM release of Windows 10! It is very nice.

Whats the point of pinning twice?

On build 10074, I had a notice pop on screen just after login on the desktop.The popup stated "MOM.Implementation, Version=2.0.3257.27085, Culture=nuetral, Publickeytoken=90ba9c70f846762e file or association not found"  It ended up being ATI Catalyst on startup. I disabled CCC for system startup and all is well again. I remember this problem from Vista with ATI drivers. Other than that, the build has been stable for me, even "Spartan" and "Settings" launches from taskbar are more dependable. As a side note.....I must be blind because I thought "Process Explorer" would be carried over from Win 8.1 and I could not find it. I put the one from Win 8.1 in this build and it works. 

9/10ths of the time I click start nothing happens. Start doesn't open. Cortana freezes. Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

Yes , I thought it was my fault ...

Also , everyone else noticed that CMD Prompt inside text is smaller ?

I can't even use it ...

Could it be so because of the VM ?

I have to admit ive been away from tp for a couple of builds, but this latest build runs so slickly on my test rig. Its getting more polished also overall I like it, :)

 

Its no monster yet its fast, stable and responsive so far on a 6 yr old laptop.

 

running on a n old Lenevo X201 core i7 ULV (4x2.6Ghz) 8Gb DDr2 and a Crucial 250gb SSD stuck at SATA2.

Win10 performs pretty well on the Vista-built Centrino laptop, even at the unoptimized state.

 

 

EDIT

 

Well, now it is crashing 100% of the time on entering the password at login, even on its safe/recovery mode.

I can't seem to trigger Game DVR and I have no clue why... Can anyone help?

I have the same issue and I've asked on the official forums because with build 10074 the icon of the Beta Store is grey instead of blue, and that makes me think I may have older versions of the apps than the ones I had with build 10061.

I haven't got a reply yet from Microsoft staff, so there's nothing I can add in order to help.

Cheers!

Sitting here this morning using Edge, and I'm kinda disappointed this hasn't been updated outside of the flights like other apps have been. I was hoping Edsge would see the most 'in between' updates in the insider's program.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
