Windows 10

Would you guys recommend the latest build as a daily OS? Work takes me away from any dependable internet for four weeks in every six, so have been very reluctant to try it out yet

Cheers in advance folks

A new build is out today, so most likely you'd be getting it with the rest of us. Let you know in a few days.

EDIT: New build is out, along with this issue:

There is one serious known issue: Users with AMD graphics cards will likely experience frequent crashes in Microsoft Edge. To avoid that, switch to the Slow ring and wait for the next build. (Navigate to Settings, Update & security, Windows Update, Advanced.) Or wait until Microsoft provides a fix, which could happen before the next build.

AMD graphics eh? That's me out so. I'll update my laptop now and see how stable it it. I wonder if I can force an update in safe mode on my desktop? I doubt it. I'd say I'm looking at a refresh to get it back in working order. Going to be a pain to reinstall everything.

Some intern kept clicking Compile to do his debugging/proof-reading

I've been using 10122 for a couple of days now, and it's pretty stable for me. I'm using an AMD driver, and have just avoided Microsoft Edge. There's a few graphical issues in random places, like the tab bar in Firefox.

In saying that, I haven't had any problems with any of the previous builds either, while a few on here have had nightmares with it. Maybe wait until a few people give reports on stability?

Anyone else experiencing Chrome scrolling a whole page on Boards here when you refresh it under 10122?

I installed the preview a couple of days ago in lieu of refreshing my laptop.

I am not well versed in the technical side of computers but I have found this to be easy enough to run. But I guess I would be representative of your ordinary user.

Must say I am impressed so far. Much better than 8.1. This is going to do well for Microsoft I think.

Its been very stable for me, the new build even more so. Edge is a bit of a nightmare but I am pretty invested in the google environment and chrome has been working perfectly for me.

All in all a big step forward for Microsoft though they have achieved it by taking a step back.

So I've been running Windows 10 since it first came out on my pc and laptop. I've made the decision to go back to Windows 7. I have really liked it but there are a few little things that just big the crap out of me and I cant stand it any more. Just Windows explorer, the quick access, networking etc. I'll miss some bits but for now I say goodbye...

PC demanding a reboot, presuming that reboot is all aboot a new boot but it's probably just 10122 or something :P

I think its just a security update. I done mine last night and that's what it was for me.

Looks like they pushed out a new build (10130) last night.

Yes, a release with a fair bit of polish, and no major bugs this time around.

More details on the changes are here.

I really hated the look of Windows 10 at first but it's grown on me a lot. I'm actually pretty excited for its proper release later in the year.

I kept reading all these rants about GUI and UX, and I thought to myself "these people should get a life", but I was surprised to find that after I had the chance to use 10120 for the first time last week, my gut reaction was that is it really does look nice - the screenshots that I had seen in reviews and blog posts don't do it justice.

So the people complaining about various aspects of the UI are right that it really will make a difference (whether they're right about whichever particular aspect of the UI they're complaining about is another thing). I think Microsoft has put together a look that feels very "now", and it will draw customers in. The critics will always take issue with whatever Microsoft releases, but I think the general public will react well to the look of Windows 10, and the much more versatile "universal apps" that can actually "window" like traditional windows programs that they are all used to, rather than the full screen "Metro" apps, that didn't quite work the way that even people who run all their programs full screen anyway, were used to.

I have a working start menu again at least.

No Cortana in my region. Again, I'm baffled. Region is naturally en-us

noticed this am a 'get windows 10' button on my taskbar (win 8.1). I assume this is a link to a pre full release version, which I don't want. Anyone else notice this

It is for the full release and is not a trial. Wont download or install until the release is available.

I want to test this out on my raspberry pi 2, has anyone else tried it?
Where would I go for a installer?

The second result when I enter Win10 raspberry pi into Bing is:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/windows-10-for-iot/

That page links to Microsofts instructions for installing Win10 on an RPi 2

(Unfortunately, I only have a B+ that I received as a gift in November. And I haven't even done anything with it :-( )

Don't have that option
what I have
1 . Automatically pick an accent colour from my background

2. Show colour on Start, taskbar and action centre

3. make Start ,taskbar and action centre transparent

nothing for changing App colour
Looks like the Title for App will stay as white

I'm hopeful that Dx12 might help out my rig with more recent demanding games like The Witcher 3 and such. Since its supposed to greatly improve communications between hardware components.

Spent a couple of hours with 10130 today - it glitched a couple of times (the desktop process restarted twice, and Spartan/Edge locked up hard, and Cortana popped up an went away again unprompted a couple of times. And Windows Media Player offered to play some WTV files that I had on the newtork, but only played the audio, not the video. I was able to install the VLC app form the Store though, and it played the WTV file properly.

I even played a game of Solitaire, for old times sake

Now running the new build with no problems even the previously problematic weather app is behaving itself

Well switch off the first option, it's pretty much identical.
