| 1392855 | 2015-04-24 08:10:00 | So far I wont be changing, NOT till they fix the damn networking problem they have caused :mad::mad::mad::ban W10 - can only see Windows 8 computers, wont see any servers even 2012R2, XP, Linux or Windows 7 PC's Cant even ping them, yet everything else can see everything just fine. Do MS seriously think businesses all over the world are going to be very impressed that no one can see existing PC's / networks, W10 cant even see networked Servers to join them. MICROSOFT fix this heap of crap !!!!!!!I can see a Win7 laptop, but not a PC running Windows Hone Server. |

| 1392856 | 2015-04-24 08:21:00 | Heres what Mine can and cant see the ones it can see can access shared Folders. Can See: This PC, Sons laptop, Sons PC, Customers PC that I was installing, all Windows 8.1, all on same workgroup. What it cant see: Server 2012R2 X3 (got three of them) Windows 7 PC and W7 Laptop, Home Server, XP, NAS, Ubuntu 10.? any networked Printers or other networked devices. All the other computers can see everything and each other. Previous versions could see everything once the reg hack was applied, but this time its not working. Try to ping the ones it cant see either by name or IP address - times out, not available. |

| 1392857 | 2015-04-24 09:50:00 | That's a bummer. But it is still a preview. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1392858 | 2015-04-24 10:21:00 | We know this one will be a bit painful but there is a bug with this build in which Win32 (desktop) apps won’t launch from the Start menu. The workaround is to use search to find and launch these apps and pin them to your taskbar for quick access. The version of the Mail and Calendar apps included in this build (17.4008.42281.0) have a known issue that causes every typed letter to appear twice. :D |

| 1392859 | 2015-04-24 10:38:00 | That's a bummer. But it is still a preview. yep it is, theres a strong rumor that the release date is July. They appear to be breaking tasks with every build of things that used to work fine. Guess well wait and see. The insider program is full of reports of things breaking. One comment I just read says it all really: Microsoft is very good in releasing products with a lot of problems that will be fixed with a sp1 after few months, so wait 6 months |

| 1392860 | 2015-04-25 03:28:00 | Okay, finally got it working :) Ended up wiping the drive and reinstalling. This time its now seeing everything like it should on the LAN, all 15 Nodes( PC's Servers, Printers etc) Didn't do anything different than before. BUT there is one noticeable difference- the overall performance has dropped, its noticeably slower this time. Spartan freezes, hence editing this post on a W8.1. |

| 1392861 | 2015-04-30 03:48:00 | Quote from Cnet : "The Technical Preview for Windows 10 ended on April 15.". So presumably now more tech preview builds and the next one will be some sort of consumer preview or a release candidate. In the same article here (www.cnet.com) it also said that Aero Glass will be in Win10. I'm pleased about that as I can't stand the flat look of the current builds. |

| 1392862 | 2015-04-30 04:08:00 | And a new build - 10074 - called an "Insider Preview". Apparently it has Aero Glass. Can't wait. Downloading it now. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1392863 | 2015-04-30 10:18:00 | And a new build - 10074 - called an "Insider Preview". Apparently it has Aero Glass. Can't wait. Downloading it now. Ditto - coming through quite quick as well :) averaging 3-5 MB/Sec -- lets see 9.15, hmmmmmmm should be able to VM it by bed time. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1392864 | 2015-04-30 10:47:00 | It is all installed - seems fairly nippy. Still can't see the entire network. I did finally see an image on the logon screen. Can't see any sign of Aero despite the reports. I downloaded the iso this time instead of doing it via Windows update, and installed in-place from the DVD. First time I've done that so I don't know for sure, but the initial process looked different from what I expected. Still ended up taking a fair time though. |
