It's fine.. just leave it alone and it will go through.

Of course, as I post that, it starts running ahead. :pinch:

 

Thanks

I'm suffering hard lockups in build 10041. I had none in 9926, then of course that one was installed fresh and the new beta as an upgrade. I think I'll wait until the current build reaches the Slow Ring to get the ISO and make a fresh installation.

Mine was s tuck at 81% for like 45 minutes so I had to hard reboot. I resumed then rebooted, then showed 12% installed for about an hour but apparently the progress wasn't showing correctly because it rebooted and all was fine after that. A minor hitch was after the installation I had a dialog that an update was ready and to reboot. Having read the known issues first, I ignored it and had no issues.

this 10041 build seems to be much faster and fluid to me. In terms of everything, be it 3rd party apps, classic apps, native apps or Windows itself.

Still some minor bugs here and there, unfinished aesthetics and features.

I got 2 lockups. I then stopped Flux, and all is good now. I guess Flux doesn't work on this build.

I tried Team Fortress 2 and it did not work.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what's Flux?

Thanks!

Here is how the search field seems like a hack to me. It opens that white field on top of whatever is under it, even like when I have the icon only turned on.

Search is only there temporarily, at least according to some.

has anyone had issues with the Mail and Calendar apps on 1366*768 screens? Most of the UI seems to go out of the screen, no matter how I resize the window.

 

EDIT: Also opening with the old Store app.

No, I don't mind, I don't think flux is a well known app anyway.

Thanks! I didn't know that application, and therefore it's not the cause of my lockups, for I don't have it installed on my system.

I've had several of them, and in every occasion they occurred while using modern apps such as Gamestreams or Dopamine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them with no luck at all.

I don't like this, those rounded buttons are out of place.

But I do like this:

Those rounded buttons next to the tile are easy to use with touch though, I don't have a problem with them really.

But the white circle is used nowhere else in the OS.

 

Also the Vista install style is still there, the new UI for the installation comes after. The windows 8 "colors" install is also still there.

 

Also, during the lockscreen the loading mouse cursor uses Windows 7 style, which I noticed in Windows 8 when using my SP3 pen, somehow the pen loading cursor falls back to the Windows 7 style.

This one:

And the horrible Screen Saver panel is still there, including the 9x-era monitor icon.

two problems

1 I have steam pinned to the taskbar. when running steam, I get two icons on the taskbar

2 when starting uplay, it keeps giving error that a debugger was found running. takes about 3 time of restarting uplay to get it to start.

The ISOs should be available once it passes to the slow ring.

Found link for ESDs on MDL.

I really hope they make Cortana look like in the second image because the first one which is what we currently have, will look like a pre pre pre alpha version in comparison if it ships like that.

I have experienced the same. 3 so far. I had a twitch stream running during all of them. Seems HWA related if you ask me, but don't have anything to point to atm.

 

Planning on reinstalling the Nvidia drivers now just to check.

 

edit

 

Seems the Nivida driver 349.65 is not available via WU, but the 349.90 is deployed by default when I removed the current drivers from my older build.

Waiting to see how it goes in regards of the lockups.
