| 1392836 | 2015-04-07 02:43:00 | Is it due for release imminently? | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1392837 | 2015-04-07 05:33:00 | About September I think | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1392838 | 2015-04-08 03:51:00 | One thing I can't seem to do in this build is change the IP address. It's currently running DHCP mode but when I click on the IPV4 the properties icon is crayed out. I have enabled the hidden admin account but the same there. Infact with the exception of the LAN card name they are all greyed out. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1392839 | 2015-04-08 04:11:00 | That would also account why Wireshark can't see any LAN interface ports.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1392840 | 2015-04-09 07:53:00 | Just checked my home PC. Change change from DHCP there as well.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1392841 | 2015-04-09 09:22:00 | One thing I can't seem to do in this build is change the IP address. It's currently running DHCP mode but when I click on the IPV4 the properties icon is crayed out. I have enabled the hidden admin account but the same there. Infact with the exception of the LAN card name they are all greyed out. Its a known result in build 10049. As quoted from Microsoft: This is a known issue in 10049. The button is greyed out, and there's no easy way to get it back. This is NOT how the product will ship; we'll bring the button back as soon as possible. If you need to set static IP address on build 10049, you can use the New-NetIPAddress cmdlet, or the netsh utility. I'm sorry for the trouble this causes you. We don't mess with things without a good reason. In this case, we re-worked some plumbing so that installing network drivers is more reliable, and can be done offline into a VHD. Unfortunately that means we had to temporarily disable the IPv4 and IPv6 properties GUIs, since they weren't ready to work in the new engine yet. Any commands to change it should possibly be done in power Shell, although a normal CMD may work. Example: Set IP: netsh interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” static 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254 Set DNS netsh interface ip set dns name=”Local Area Connection” static 192.168.0.250 |

| 1392842 | 2015-04-09 21:42:00 | Thanx Wainui. Thought I was going nuts and a Google search didn't turn up anything.. Will wait for the next release.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1392843 | 2015-04-09 22:17:00 | I see the expiry date for the preview has changed from this month to october. I saw it on a microsoft page somewhere but I don't have a link sorry. I have been using 10 on a secondary machine for a while but I'm thinking I might buy windows 8 and install it rather than continue with preview as I think I may use this PC a bit more. The last 2 updates have done weird things to the start menu and search functions and they are not working properly for me. Clicking the windows button or pushing the key on the keyboard doesn't always work, in fact lately I don't think it's worked at all. Guess I should get on the feedback app if I can launch it. I don't suppose anyone knows if a windows storage space created with windows 10 will be able to be used in windows 8 ? |

| 1392844 | 2015-04-10 01:48:00 | I have found that the last two updates have stopped you dragging short cuts from the start menu to the desktop.. | paulw (1826) | ||
