I'm an insider on build 10162, is their any way to fast track myself into a later build or is this as high as it goes? i've set updates to fast track.

go into update setting and select fast ring

 

[Kierax2016]

Yup I had done, virtue of sods law, I begin to download from the .iso link above, and just happen to check updates

 

"fbl_impressive Core 10166 available"

 

Sigh..

Windows Hello Facial Recognition is so fast, but it is very smart.

 

Since it is so fast, right when you lock it, it would instantaneously log you back in. Except! it doesn't. Rather, it prompts you to dismiss the lock screen to do so. That way it won't randomly log you back in when you are trying to leave. Clever, and makes the lock screen necessary and useful.

Nice, good to know.  I hope they can work in this feature into a future Windows 10 mobile flagship device as well, either with the camera or at least with a fingerprint reader.  Though camera would be best, as others have done fingerprint readers already.

No one's been able to figure out the monitor turning on thing yet?

 

Is there a quicker way to switch users than what I'm seeing? On 7, if my wife was logged in, I could, before coffee, with my eyes closed, mash Win+L, Alt+W, type my password, and hit enter. Going way back to January and, I think, 9860?, I could do something similar. That was the old login screen, though. Win+L still locks, but Alt+W doesn't choose the other user. Tried tab, it doesn't take that either.

 

Another question: Do I have to disable UAC for programs to be able to write to my second hard drive? I don't really want to disable UAC.

Any way to reset / fix Edge on the phone? It is completely broken for me, and it is very crappy to not have a web browser on the phone.

Check the permissions, odds are the user accounts and/or ownership are wrong.

Thanks. I solved it in 7, and that's probably what I did.

Google also did camera already since android 4.0

I always use Rufus to create a bootable usb since it's a quick and easy way to make a bootable usb that actually works with a uefi device without needing to fiddle uefi settings.

It's much simpler than any other software of this kind.

They clearly did but did it work reliably? I guess not the same kind of camera as well.

No. Those are KMS client keys that will only activate on a KMS Server that has a valid KMS host key for Windows 10, they'll only activate for 180 days until they need to be re-activated.

 

GVLK: Generic Volume License Key

Thanks,that solved it up now.

Hello requires special biometric cameras so you can't cheat it with a picture though.

Won't be long now might get conformation in around 2hs.

Conformation should be in next 1h. It will likely go on MSDN sometime after perhaps on 15th so won't be long until its released.

It only shows up if you have the hardware that supports each type.

 

Nice video demoing the realsense camera unlock, it really is as fast as it was shown on the stage.

 

 

This is the only camera that supports it at the moment but it's supposed to be developer only....you know...like the Oculus was
