Hmmm...I liked the Start icon from 9926 a lot more. And what happened to the startup/shutdown sounds? Are they gone in build 10041? Or is it on my end?

wait you've gotten start up sounds for windows 10?

Well, kinda sorta. It was the same old Vista/7 startup sound(s), followed by a new short little two-note boop-dee afterwards. Until 10041. I can't remember any shutdown sounds with 9926, come to think of it. Anywho, now I got nothin'. I upgraded from 7 pro BTW.

Here's another question. Has anyone else received any of those random desktop notifications asking for your opinion on something or other(OS related). Like the one I got yesterday that said "Do you prefer using Control Panel over(or maybe it was instead of?) the Settings app?". I'm just curious. Mainly because I hadn't seen one until now. Just wondering how "random" those notifications are. I really like the idea actually. Wish they'd ask me more. Too lazy to go the Windows Feedback route. Don't care that much frankly...

EDIT: It popped back up again, since I failed to submit my reply the first time.

EDIT 2: I just found how to adjust the frequency of feedback requests.

No. The question just suddenly popped up in a little window above the Notifications icon(far right of the taskbar). And when I clicked it, it opened a larger window showing me the same question and giving me a "yes" or "no" to select. After selecting "yes", it then asked for what I thought could be improved with the Settings app.
And about the sound, don't you see the check box in windows sounds tab??
I hadn't looked until you mentioned it, but yes. The box next to "Play Windows Startup sound" is checked.

Just got another one, from Windows Feedback apparently.

And this morning another.

EDIT: I did some more troubleshooting with the startup sound. It turns out there is a sound set as default for Windows Startup. Which appears to work. It sounds like a stick hitting a block of wood twice real quick...or something? Don't know why every time I try listening to it, it causes the theme to become (modified).

Coming to you live from Build 10049 via Project Spartan. And I must say...it's a little strange. But I'll try anything once. I hope they get the browsing history thing up and running soon. Or I might be out the door on this one in a hurry. I need that.

And I sure wish I knew wtf was up with this .swf file that keeps downloading itself repeatedly(2x now).

What am I supposed to be doing with that?

Not that particular one. But I'm still having the same problem I've been having since I first installed it(at build 9926). Which is causing my HDDs to "need checked for consistency" every time I restart to boot one of my OSs that isn't Windows 10. I have 10 on a 1TB drive(single partition), and XP/Vista dual boot on another 1TB drive(2 partitions). But I dare not try using XP or Vista for anything. Unless I'm willing to let it run CHKDSK on all three partitions(and the USB flash drive I use for readyboost) first, or at least react quickly enough to prevent it from doing so. Which is frustrating. :banghead:

I'll trade ya! :laugh:

EDIT: My problem seems to have been resolved with the new build. The first 2 restarts/reboots after installing build 10049 caused the problem. But I've restarted/rebooted 5 times now with no problems at all.

EDIT 2: That lasted about a week. Now it's doing it again. Though not as often.

Hi!

I am currently running Win10 x64 Build 10049 - can i update the build if i get the iso and installed it via DVD or does that only make a fresh install?
I am asking since i get an error when i try to update the build thru windows.

Enable Dark Theme in Windows 10 build 10074
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize, on the right pane, change ‘EnableTransperency‘ value from ‘1’ from ‘0’.

[Edit: not working, a shame)

Besides that, Chaos must be a MS patent.... AGAIN we have a "settings" window ( new style) and not everything is present, so some items are in classic control panel... They wil never unify settings in one place?

2) (or was it 3?) leaving my Win 10 pc on until is suspends, lets me not wake it up with logitech wireless keyboard. have to hard restart. Some one said "performace energy profile" is non operative yet.

4)... PIN log in does not work for me.

5) downloaded also Office 2016 beta, seems a minor update..

I've got a few gripes with the new build.

1) Won't let me pin anything to the start menu anymore.

2) Made screensaver settings almost impossible to find.

3) Still keeps trying to open http://battlelog.battlefield.com/ with Project Spartan first, then IE. Even though the box is checked telling it not to do that anymore. So I have to keep closing it(PS) every time I go there.

Other than that, it's the best one yet. Or maybe that was 10049? I guess I don't know for sure. 10049 was really good...but did end up breaking eventually. So we'll see if this one does any better.

Does anyone experience jerkiness when starting from a cold boot for some time, even after all startup programs have initialised? And how do I get the icons for my PC, Control Panel and Documents on the desktop? Other than these problems, I'm having a pleasant experience with Windows 10 build 10074.

Personalization - Themes - Classic Settings - Desktop Icon settings.

No, everything is fine even on a Phenom II X4 and 4650 Radeon albeit sitting on an SSD.

It appears to be totally fixed with 10074. The beta(15.3 & 15.4), Omega(14.12), and the latest 15.2 WHQL(WDDM v2.0) all work perfectly now...on my machine.

Hint: 15.2 is installed by default when the current build is installed. But can also be reinstalled after switching to beta or omega by updating the display adapter driver(with Device Manager) and allowing it to search online.
