1392915	2015-06-02 05:42:00	Thanks Wainui. Useful for future reference. I've actually managed the update through Windows Update in the end, so it is all sweet now. In this build: It is recognising all my network. They've finally fixed the disappearing scrollbar problem - woohoo! Still work to do to totally integrate control panel into settings, e.g. there is no settings equivalent (that I have found) to "system" in control panel. It does all seem crisper. Still don't like the black background to start.	Tony (4941)
1392916	2015-06-02 06:49:00	The "System" is there, as per Windows 8.1. Two ways to get to it. 1. Right click the start button / Control Panel, make sure you are showing Large ( or Small Icons from the drop down Box top Right) System is listed. 2. Click Start / Settings / click the Personalization Background,Lock Screen, Colors Button - On Left / Themes - Desktop Icon Settings - Tick Computer ( I do users Files and Network as well) --- Go to Desktop / Right Click This PC = System To change the Background color in the start Menu -- From Settings - Personalization Background,Lock Screen, Colors Button --- On Left / Colors - ( on Right) Turn Off Automatically pick a Accent Color from my Background --- A Color chart appears, select the color you want. Cant see how to make it more transparent yet ( or if you can). But you can make it look real Pretty LOL :wub:lol: 6503 To make the Start Screen as per W8.1 From Personalization Background,Lock Screen ( ya de ya) on Left, Start, Start behaviors -- Use Full Screen Start when in the Desktop = ON. When you press the start button it goes full screen, to get the "subMenu" press the Hamburger List Top Left ( someone called it that) Looks like horizontal Bars - The menu pops open. You can also click the Notification Icon bottom Right and select Tablet mode, but mines playing up and locks up :(	wainuitech (129)

I'll check it out next time I'm in Win10. I think that's as transparent as it gets. Can't see the point myself, but your desktop does look good. I'll try changing my start background to make it less gloomy.	Tony (4941)

Only done it on this Build. :( Edited: Just rebooted and to find system - even easier, right click the start button, system is listed in the top box. 6504	wainuitech (129)
1392919	2015-06-02 10:11:00	Yes, much easier. It hadn't occurred to me to right-click on start - not habitual behaviour for me.	Tony (4941)
1392920	2015-06-02 11:04:00	Just found this -- For people asking about installing /downloading a W10 ISO when its released answers.microsoft.com (answers.microsoft.com)	wainuitech (129)
1392921	2015-06-02 22:33:00	I see 29th of July has been mentioned .	Cicero (40)
1392922	2015-06-02 22:58:00	Yes, much easier. It hadn't occurred to me to right-click on start - not habitual behaviour for me. It's a useful habit to learn many functions are much more quickly accessed that way, I use it to get to device manger and disk management for example. Many of the options have been there since before they added an actual button too, you just had to use the bottom left corner which was much less obvious.	dugimodo (138)
1392923	2015-06-02 23:58:00	Also, its usefull to learn a few of the new Win+key shortcuts (the flag key, between ctrl & alt) . Makes navigation much quicker . Win+I , Win+C, Win+R	1101 (13337)
1392924	2015-06-03 00:33:00	My work laptop is doing the update to 10130 at present so it will take about 3 hours + if it's like previous updates..	paulw (1826)
