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.

 

*snipped*

 

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 ;)

that make perfect sense now

 

i  just renumber seeing that option in my laptop which has both camera and fingerprint scanner

sounds like different hardware configuration

 

this build is working perfectly for "me" :p or got to be the best so far (9968 or something was garbage)

My hardware hasn't changed. I've been testing the builds on the same PC and it's not done this so far until this build, I'm suspecting it's another application that's running but I can't see which one is doing it.

It was happening before I installed the Pin More app though

I have been having trouble with Edge locking up also and I usually have to hit control, alt and delete to get out. I'm using the same machine as I have since the beta started nothing changed. But on this build 10166 it does lock up.

Another updates for Weather, News, Sport and Finances without release notes.

 

Looks like previous versions didn't fix weather forecast that wasn't updating after an app restored from suspension. No word on this problem now as well.

Anyone noticed that, even though Windows 10 has a calendar installed by default, it won't let you choose it in the default apps as a calendar? Fancy upvoting it in feedback, someone has already reported it.

 

 

(Just re-installed 10166 by the way, will stick with the prescribed drivers for now I think)

Anyone here know if I can have the file explorer look the same as it did it win 7?

Maybe you should try OldNewExplorer if you want to remove the ribbon from File Explorer (and thus restoring the command bar like in Windows 7). :)

In what way? If you go to Folder Options you can change the default open location from Quick Access to This PC. You can most likely remove the Quick Access section in the top of the location panel on the left via a registry tweak.

What's up with the built-in UWP apps? I noticed it more and more that not only some of then start and display their contents instantly, but often even their states are saved the same way you've left it (like with OneNote, you pick up exactly where you left it), same with the rest of the Office apps, and more.

 

Not only that, but the experience is shared with the mobile counterpart too, you'll be see a lot less "resuming" going on, and a lot less apps being put into a "have to wait for it to recover" suspend state. Meaning that you'll have almost all of the open apps still visible in the recent apps list in mobile builds.

 

Now this is what I call quite the evolution with Windows Runtime! :D

Anyone know if there is a guide or script (powershell) to remove the otherwise unremoveable modern apps? Things like Music, Xbox, Calendar, Mail, etc? I have no use for them and I cannot find a way to remove them from Start without uninstalling which is annoing.

Can't you just right click on them and unpin from Start? I tried it and it works fine.

It only takes about 10 seconds to right click them all and remove them from the menu, hardly a showstopper

While that works, when you create a new account they will come back.

 

This isn't the final product, it'll be fixed in the end. Plus I believe that is a left over issue when doing an upgrade between builds.
