The keys are working all the time now, however if u get to the key page, and refresh you get a different key sometimes, there seems to be like 6 keys,

ALSO, I've checked and the keys are all the same doesnt matter what live account you use.

There seems to be 10 different keys in total.

Check with other people the first 5 digits i bet they match ?

CONFIRMED- ALL FIXED EVERY REFRESH GETS A KEY!

Keys seem to repeat but some are different occasionally.

I thought you were full of crap, but it's true. I get new keys every 3-4 refreshes.

I am not refreshing anymore, because I want the 2.5 million keys to go to others who will use them as well.

Sorrowuk: None of my first 5 digits match on any of the keys I've obtained.

You will have the same keys as other people.

and a 64 bit key starting 482XP

Ok, i see that the "Beta download page" is still not working.... but it seems that its now possible to get keys pretty easy... and they work, confirmed by me, just activated. Microsoft screwed up here... all those who use this forum now know how to get them... soon M$ will run out of keys to give... So it would be good if those that got their keys to stop getting more or others wont have any left ;)

If you refresh enough times u will get a 32 bit key starting - 6JKV2

and a 64 bit key starting - 482XP

Therefore everyone gets the same keys, and there is only 10 of them round about

Odd I got one key for x64 that started with 482XP, and x64 6JKV2

Maybe there is only 10 key for everyone :p

I think you may be onto something w/ the ten keys per person.

Let me just take the time that this proves the pirates point as USUAL. If we go the legitimate way, we can't get any keys or beta. For all we know the keys will be nearly gone by time they FINALLY get around to doing what they said they were gonna do 24 hours ago.

Instead going the *alternative* way, we get lots of keys and we get them now.

What a joke.

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

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
