Is everybody who is posting problems remembering to report them to Microsoft? That's pretty much the reason we're testing this OS ;)

 

I submitted everything I posted here on the feedback app as well. I really hope they fix it.

product code can't be activated

Try ckfk9-qngf2-d34fm-99qx2-8xc4k for enterprise.

 

Couple of things:

Can't auto-hide the taskbar in tablet mode, you have to drop back to desktop mode to do that.

Taskbar, even when auto-hidden, shows itself on Start

Taskbar cannot be independently hidden for tablet mode and desktop mode

Still no way to quickly switch between apps with a swipe from the left. 

No horizontal scrolling in Start allowed

No new messaging app

no interactive live tiles

no exploding live tiles (mix view)

no advanced grid for start

No new features for tablet users

crappy onenote app

no full screen all apps list

issues with small tiles and now icons showing

 

EDIT: Did anyone else notice they removed half of the sync settings options? Now Start Screen, appearance, and desktop personalization have all been lumped into sync themes

 

app setting and app data sync has been removed!

Speaking of selecting text, copying text was considerably easier in Windows Phone 8.1 than it is in Windows 10 Mobile. Before it would just have the little copy button on the screen, now I have to select, then long press on the text to get options to copy the text. I actually haven't sent feedback on this one.

Something has been bugging me lately with Windows 10 (other than the remaining issues and little time). Has there been anything posted about its support life cycle yet? I haven't seen anything on the Windows life cycle fact sheet yet and with them talking of Windows as a service instead of as a product I wonder what the life cycle is shaping up to look like.

Hopefully these will be reinstated as they were quite extensive in Windows 8.1. The ability to sync applications and settings

Dragging an Edge tab to a new windows causes the new window to open with just the Edge logo showing.
 
I'm not sure if that's a bug. Maybe they implemented IE's pinned site functionality?

 

 

Perhaps my wording isn't great. This is what happens.

And it doesn't get past this, ever.

Some of spotted problems in 10162

- Action Center pane disrespect local setting. Times are in 12H format.

- Frequently used apps doesn't work in Start Menu. No matter how much i will launch some app it will never appear, yet there are apps I never used.

Should I get the new update from 10159 via Windows update?

 

I have the insider builds set for "fast".

I think you need to link an MSA for the builds to show up past 10130. That said, one of my systems updated to 10159(and now getting 10162) but the other one won't get anything past 10130 no matter what I do. :/ I can't use ESD because this one is a 32bit tablet.
