For some reason, apps take a LOOONG time to install on this TP. I mean desktop apps. I hate this, it's way faster in 8.1...

 

I've noticed that overall things seem to be a tad slower for me, but this is a Technical Preview so I didn't expect everything to be better than 8.1.

There are hints out there that a new build could be going out later today, keep an eye out and or try the Preview Builds option in PC settings to see if something goes live.

I wish your words come true and new builds come with IE12, I am itching to test it out. Can't wait.

Its a technical preview and is guaranteed to have a ton of debug code enabled.

 

Expect it to be slower all the way up to final betas and RCs.

Yeah, I guess you're right, I keep forgeting that this is in early stages of developement because I really enjoy it and I wish they would release the damn thing faster :D

 

On another note, does anyone use the Facebook app from the store? I have a problem with it, every time I open it I get a prompt about wanting to change my profile picture. Even if I say OK, that prompt is there every time I open the app. :/

It's prety much confirmed that the next Windows Technical Preview build will be 9860, as Microsoft released 3 updates for that build today: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/57050-Windows-10-(Technical-Preview)-Hotfix-Repository/page3?p=963132&viewfull=1#post963132.

Just a reminder for you all, if you changed registry settings to get access to the extra options in Preview builds then you'll need to revert those changes if you haven't already done so ;)

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
