1392935 2015-06-07 03:24:00 Looks like they have changed / fixed a few problems in Build 10134

The start menu has changed slightly, BUT in a good way :thumbs: Meaning you can now hide those damn hardly used Apps. The Start Screen off the Main Start can now be dragged to a different size, still not transparent enough though, that would be a good option to allow a person to change to suit their likes. ( no doubt some third party program will do it anyway)

Now to see If I can break it again like last time :devil

Edited: YEP ; Broke it again, what's the point in having option to customize the start menu if it breaks the start menu when selecting :groan: They had better fix that.

The Shutdown Error is still there :(

And Cortana is still not working, stupid ***** wont talk or look things up by voice commands.

Looks like MS have still got A LOT of bugs to sort out. :crying

1392936 2015-06-14 07:08:00 I've taken the plunge, downloaded the 10130 iso of W10, and installed it. Disconnected the computer from the internet until a few "send this, send that to us" options were changed, and then set up my networking. W10 immediately downloaded about 220MB of stuff, among which was an Nvidia driver, I think, looking at device manager.

All was going well, generally, but looking in device manager wasn't a good idea, because although I hadn't changed anything, but probably ticked an "OK" somewhere, it thought a change had been made somewhere, and wanted a computer restart, which I did. End of story. I got the blue Window icon for a while, but then a black screen, forever.

I tried some repair options offered in a reboot of the installation DVD, but no luck resurrecting W10.

1392937 2015-06-21 05:15:00 Regarding my comment above, I had overlooked that the installation of the Nvidia driver meant that the other output of the video card had been switched to, hence I lost my display. All sorted out evenually, and testing continues here.

Is the 10130 release sort of automatically upgraded via the internet? I see that there are so-called "leaked" versions with a higher number out there, but the Insider Testing program still has 10130 for download.

I've seen mentions of a leaked version 10136 but everyone says you'd have to be a complete masochist to try it. Tony (4941)
1392939 2015-06-21 06:03:00 Just did a routine Windows Update last night and when I turned ON my PC this morning, I noticed that the Win10 Reserve icon has disappeared!

Checked for Windows Update again, this time it says that my Windows is fully updated and a a big 'Windows 10 Upgrade Reserved."

Latest leaked build is 10147 -- Quite a few cosmetic changes as well. Makes me wonder how on purpose these "leaked Builds" actually are ;)

This build asks for a product key if its a fresh install ( others didn't) , but if upgrading from a previous version it picks up the already installed key.

You can also select whether to install Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Home.

I just realized my icon has disappeared as well, but the windows update window says "reserve your free upgrade", so maybe you clicked something without realizing?

1392942 2015-06-21 06:58:00 There was a Update a couple of days ago, something relating to system preparation, after that installed on all but three of the PC's here the reserve Windows 10 Icon has disappeared ( and they are all legit). You can get it back if you want. wainuitech (129)

Microsoft is not leaking these builds

at the end of the day the internal builds that Microsoft are testing are all coming out thru the Windows Insiders program, so you just need some patience

You can imagine the uproar if Microsoft released builds that are not ready for wide scale usage testing
