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.

I'm running into a 50/50 chance for the machine to lock up when entering the login password... in the middle of typing it...

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

Any open window on the taskbar has the underscore line on the bottom... maybe not the most obvious of indicators, but it is there and I think it looks nice.

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?

Sounds like he wants to pin it once, but not as a tile.

yeah, like you can pick where it gets pinned, to the right as a tile or to the left as a plain old link

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.

Smallest sized tile is basically just an icon, isn't it?

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

I am as well. The search completely breaks too.

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!

I can access the GameDVR settings though and everything, and there's a GameDVR folder in my videos folder, but the keyboard shortcuts do nothing.

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.
