Yea, I feel you. In Canada, Turkey-Making-Practice-For-Xmas Day is in early October.

I have the problem that the store, photos and video app keeps opening itself...

Yea. Just put the program in a window and not full screen, and close it. It won't show up again.

From the feedback hub, Microsoft acknowledged the issue and working on a fix.

Jesus, they made powershell the default shell and removed command prompt from explorer. :(

Yea. But PowerShell can execute every command that the Command Prompt support (you can also use it for Bash, if you have it installed).

You can still do Win + R and run "cmd". It takes all but two seconds. Personally, I don't mind the change, PowerShell is way more powerful and feature rich than command prompt ever was.

But both are crappy and PowerShell doesn't offer anything useful to most people. Command prompt + PS solves everything for PS users.

Win+R + CMD takes more time than CMD + PS. About being more powerful: who cares, if it can't do basic stuff. Bash is much better, and if Microsoft were serious about command line would have checked the Msys2 bash solution.

Well... I don't see how the PowerShell is crappy if it does exactly what the Command Prompt does, supporting every single of its commands.

 

But anyway, you can change it back in the options:

Start > Settings > Personalization > Task Bar, and turn Off "Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell..."

Typical MS. If you are not going to offer something properly, then don't.

They cam easily check Insiders as you need an MS account to checkout, and could provide it online. Online is also cheaper to operate over actual stores, allowing MS to actually provide the 10% off. Also, Students already get 10%, so they can consider Insiders as student, so it isn't some complicated thing where they could loose a lot of money. And make the offer for 1 week, allow people to at least discover the store, see what they want to purchase and purchase it.

 

At least you have a MS store. Here, they are none in Montreal, which is a huge city. You have multiple Apple store here.

We are almost 3.4 million, and cities in Canada with much less population has one.

Microsoft announces that Windows Insider program is put on hold. Meaning if you trying to get the latest build of Windows 10, switching ring, or joining the Insider program, you can't. It will resume shortly however. Microsoft is preparing the back-end for the new update system, which will please A LOT of people. This new back-end will only download the files needed to pass from 1 update build to the other by comparing files from the server and Windows files,  and will not download the entire ISO file and install. This will reduce bandwidth consumption and time to all insiders, and people upgrading to new Windows 10 builds when it gets officially released.

 

Quote

New improvements in UUP include:

  • Enables differential downloads for all devices built on the Mobile and PC OS. A differential download package contains only the changes that have been made since the last time you updated your device, rather than a full build.
  • They are reducing the update data sent to client devices as well as the amount of processing we are doing on devices, this especially important for devices built on the Mobile OS. Using UUP, when your device checks for updates, the Windows Update service will evaluate which updates are needed by a given device. The Windows Update service then returns these updates to the device for download and install.
  • In the PC world, you can update to the latest build in one operation, regardless of what base build you are currently running, yet that’s not how it worked for the Mobile OS. On your phone, we would sometimes require you to install in two-hops (updates) to get current. With UUP, they are bringing PC-like logic to the mobile allowing you to update your phone in one-hop, just like the PC.

 

Microsoft says:

Quote

We are going to pause all PC builds for both the Fast and Slow rings starting this evening (Friday 12/2). We will begin flighting the latest builds via UUP starting with our internal rings first then to Insiders based on each ring’s promotion criteria. We’re excited to be able to release builds for PC to Insiders using UUP! Mobile builds are not impacted by this.

Sad to hear that...

Personally have had very minor or no issues with the last dozen builds ... I guess mileage varies (My system runs 24/7).

Same. Well, I am not going to deny that I did need to re-install my system, twice in total since the public beta of Windows 10. But that is like what? 2 years... and mostly in the early days of the OS.. meh... not so bad for me.

I think the last time I had to do a full reinstall due to a bug was last year before the public release, 2nd or 3rd build prior to release I think. Since then its been smooth sailing for the most part I even fold on it so that says a lot.

FINALLY an interesting build!

Wow, that took time.

Build 14986

 

What's new? Lots!

  • New Cortana commands. You can not change the volume by asking Cortana, as well as SHUTDOWN (This is not going to end well...), you can also RESTART it, lock it, put it to sleep just by asking. Apparently, these features were highly recommended. Microsoft says:
    Quote

    Turn off your computer, change volume with voice commands: Being able to control your computer with just your voice is one of the top requests we get with Cortana, so we’re excited to say that we’ve added several new features to Cortana that let you do just that. Now you can shut down your PC just by asking Cortana. You can also restart, lock, or put the system to sleep, and raise and lower your system volume with just your voice. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

     

  • More improvements to Cortana. You can say "Play <artists/album> on <app name>" Examples that Microsoft gives:

    Quote

    Play Drake on iHeartRadio
    Play Christmas music on iHeartRadio
    Play NPR Hourly News on TuneIn
    Play jazz music on TuneIn

    Play <Frequency/Call Letters> on <AppName>
    Play 90.3 on iHeartRadio
    Play KUOW on TuneIn
    Play jazz music on iHeartRadio
    What song is Playing?

    And of course, media control and now volume control is adjustable via Cortana. It also works on the lock screen.

  • Cortana can now recognize music for customers in China.

  • Full screen Cortana when Idle.
     

    Quote

    We’ve made major improvements to Cortana’s look when using “Hey Cortana” when your PC is unlocked and idle. When your PC is in this state, asking Cortana questions will result in a gorgeous full-screen experience that is optimized for far field viewing! Give it a try by enabling “Hey Cortana” and then wait for about 10 seconds or so without touching your PC. May we recommend asking to see if it will snow tomorrow?

    6
     

    7


     

  • Improved full-screen support for the Windows Game Bar. Now has 19 additional games: ARMA 3, Battlefield 1, Civilization V, Dark Souls III, Fallout 4, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, Mad Max, Mafia 2, NBA 2K16, Overwatch, Star Wars: The Old Republic, StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, The Binding of Isaac, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Terraria, Tom Clancy’s The Division, Total War: WARHAMMER, Warframe, World of Tanks. More to come.

  • Improvement to the Windows Ink experience. You can now resume previous sketches you have done, great if you accidentally hit the clear button. In addition, the GUI was improved a bit, with preview on when you pick your tools and color. Finer control of the ruler rotation was added. Pen cursor will also not show to improve the pen/paper feel

  • New extensions to Edge! Ebates, Intel TrueKey, and Read & Write has been added

  • Like Windows 10 Mobile. UWP rendering engine gets replaced with a better one. (please note that, as a result, graphical glitches may occur. Report  these issues)

  • Narrator improvements. Microsoft is serious in improving the accessibility features of the OS. This is one of the things released.
     

    Quote

    Narrator has a new feature to give you additional information about fonts, colors, line spacing, margins and more. Press Caps Lock + F to hear this information.  Continue to press Caps Lock + F to cycle through nine categories of information. Use Shift + Caps Lock + F to move through these categories in reverse.

     

    The default level for a Narrator feature called Context Awareness is now set to 2.  You will hear additional information as you move around areas such as the Start Menu, Office ribbon and more about the areas you are in. Use Alt + Caps Lock + / to cycle through the different options.  Zero means off for the feature.

     

    The key to get advanced information about the item with focus has been changed to Caps Lock + 0 from Caps Lock + F in Narrator. We fixed an issue from recent flights where Narrator would only say “No item in view” when placing focus on the Start menu tiles.

     

  • New Windows Defender dashboard. Gone with the old Windows 7 look that was completely out of place in Windows 10. Now, it is a Universal App.
    10.png

  • Registry editor improvements! Yes, more! You can now do Back (Alt+Left arrow) and Forward (Alt+Right arrow) action like you can with File Explorer, and you can go up a key (Alt+Left Up). ("Keys" are a folder in the registry. It is called like so, as the registry is actually a database, and it is just represented in a folder structure for easier navigation)

  • The USB Audio 2 Class Driver and You, as Microsoft puts it. Some temporary changes where done to prefer the usage of MS down drivers for your headset over the third party manufacture one. This is so that they are more users of the driver to detect/report issues, so that they can improve further the drivers. Microsoft did say that currently, ASIO support does not work, and WASAPI will work on some apps, other won't... so test and see. More info: https://aka.ms/usbaudio

  • Windows 10 Update system improvements.
     

    Quote

    For some of you though, receiving these updates has resulted in your device not being available for use when you needed it. For those of you that happened to fall into this category, you will be happy to see that we now have moved to involving you more in specifying when to successfully apply a pending update.  If Windows Update in unable to find a good time to restart your machine to apply the latest updates, you will now get be prompted to “restart now”, “Schedule” a time that works for you, or simply “Remind me later” which will not apply the update but offer you these options again.

     

  • LOTS of improvement to Asian languages.
     

    Quote

    Chinese Input Method Editor (IME) Improvements: We’ve heard your feedback about the Chinese typing experience, and we’ve happy to announce that we’ve made some changes based on what you’ve told us!
     

    Smart fuzzy matching for pinyin and updated Microsoft Pinyin IME candidate pane experience: As part of our effort to improve the efficiency of Chinese input, the Microsoft Pinyin IME candidate pane has been updated to make it easier to find the candidate you’re looking for. The IME now more clearly indicates fuzzy pinyin candidates, along with tips for how to change the related settings. When you’re typing, this feature will be triggered automatically when fuzzy pinyin candidates are detected and it will show them in the candidate window. We’ve also added a small icon to indicate when a particular cloud candidate is trending. In addition, since most of these trending candidates are related to hot stories, when you have that candidate highlighted, we’ve made it easier to search and learn more about it.

     

     1
     

    New context menu for the IME mode: The IME mode indicator in the taskbar now has a context menu if you right-click it when using the Microsoft Pinyin or Wubi IME! It contains options to easily access that IME’s settings page, or show the language bar. Microsoft Pinyin IME now supports importing and exporting self-learned phrases: If you enable self-learning, the Microsoft Pinyin IME can learn and store the phrases as you use it to type. With this build, these phrases can be now be exported and imported. This means that if you re-install your PC, or have multiple PCs to maintain, you can now keep the same user lexicon.

     

     2

    Wubi IME has been updated to support user-defined phrases:     You can add custom phrases manually, or import and export custom phrase files. In the Wubi IME settings, click the “user-defined phrase” button to enter the custom phrase page.

     3
     

    Line Mode for Chinese (Simplified) Handwriting: With the Anniversary Update, the Chinese (Simplified) handwriting panel only supported entering text using box mode – writing a single character in each box, and then the character would disappear after the candidate had been finalized, and there was no way to edit the ink. We’re excited to announce that with 14986 that is now longer the case! Just like the Japanese handwriting panel, the Chinese (Simplified) handwriting panel now supports line mode, so you can write and edit your characters all in one continuous sentence. We’ve also added two editing gestures for users – a strikethrough to delete, and a circle to grouping.

    New experience writing Chinese characters:
    4

    Deletion gesture:
    5

    Grouping gesture:
    6

    Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) Improvements:

    It’s now possible to remove text prediction candidates. To do this, hover over the entry in the candidate list and an ‘X’ button will appear. Removed candidates will not be suggested next time.

    7
     

    Improving the Japanese IME conversion accuracy: Improving the conversion accuracy of Japanese IME is an ongoing goal of ours – with this build, we’ve enhanced our logic how we take into account previously determined context. To give an example, with the Anniversary Update, when typing “にんげんをやとう” in one shot and then converting the text, the IME would return the correct conversion. However, if you were to do the conversion in two parts (aka, type “にんげんを”, convert, and then type “やとう” and convert), the IME would return a different and potentially undesirable conversion. With the work lighting up with 14986, the IME will now return the same result in both cases. We have also improved learning behavior when user registered shortcut word (短縮語) is involved and added a new keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+.) so that you can flag particularly bad conversion errors. Conversions flagged in this way will be prioritized among all other mis-conversions when we investigate. We rely on your feedback to improve our conversion accuracy so please do report bad conversion errors when you see them!
     

    Improved reliability and responsiveness: We’ve improved the responsiveness of the Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) and fixed an issue where key input might sometimes get stuck in certain environments. We also fixed an issue where the Japanese IME’s self-learning wouldn’t work in certain environments, and fixed an issue resulting in being unable to use the IME to enter text in a program that had been launched using Command Prompt’s “runas” command.



     

What's fixed? Lots too!

  • We have improved the Windows Hello face which may require you to “Improve Recognition” to get recognized again. To do this – go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options and under “Windows Hello” and “Face Recognition”, select “Improve Recognition” to go through the Improve Recognition wizard.
  • We updated the Taskbar’s context menu settings entry to now explicitly be called “Taskbar settings”, as that is where it pointed.
  • We fixed an issue where the Virtual Touchpad’s left and right buttons might not work on some devices. We also fixed an issue where the Virtual Touchpad wouldn’t launch if the primary monitor was non-touch, and added the Virtual Touchpad icon to the Taskbar settings where you can Turn system icons on or off.
  • We fixed the issue where apps such as Store, Photos, and People might launch on their own after your PC had been inactive for a period of time.
  • We fixed the issue where navigating to Settings > System > Battery would crash the Settings app.
  • We’ve changed the default state of the Handwriting Panel to be floating next to the text field, rather than docked at the bottom of the screen. If you prefer docked-mode, you can still select it by tapping the icon in the top right corner of the Handwriting Panel.
  • We fixed an issue where using ~ to switch languages using the Thai keyboard when typing in Office apps, such as Outlook or Word 2016, might sometimes result in a hang.
  • We’ve updated our migration logic, so that going forward from 14986 the default user’s numlock setting will now be preserved across upgrades.
  • We fixed an issue where double-clicking on an Excel document to open it from File Explorer would crash Microsoft Excel.
  • We fixed an issue where Windows Hello might get stuck “Looking for you”.
  • We fixed an issue Insiders with Surface Dial may have experienced recently where rotating the Dial could result in unexpected beeps.
  • We’re moving some things around in Storage Settings – stay tuned for future updates. For this flight, you’ll notice that the settings to change save locations has moved to its own page. We also fixed an issue where Storage Usage for the Other category might show an unexpectedly high number.
  • We fixed an issue where the PowerShell entry in File Explorer’s File menu would sometimes be unexpectedly greyed out.
  • We fixed an issue where the Clock and Calendar flyout in the taskbar wouldn’t launch when the display language was set to Chinese (Traditional) and the system was using the phonetic sorting method.
  • We’ve updated the full screen Settings search results to now use smaller icons – we feel this delivers an overall more polished feel, as well as enables more search results to display on the page at a time.
  • We fixed an issue where some notifications might draw too high or too low, and then be seen moving itself to the correct position.
  • We fixed an issue where the outline incoming notification toasts could still be seen if notification banners as a whole for that particular app had been turned off.
  • We fixed an issue Insiders may have experienced where the Favorites bar on desktop might appear empty, despite having items in the Favorites folder.
  • We fixed an issue that could result in CPU throttling when idling on certain webpages with many gifs or looping videos in Microsoft Edge.
  • We fixed an issue that could result in Alt + D sometimes not being able to set focus to the address bar in Microsoft Edge.
  • For Insiders with PCs that upgraded to builds 14926-14959, some default power settings may have been lost and not recovered on subsequent upgrades. The effect of this causes devices to potentially use more power, change the power button behavior on tablets, etc. Starting with 14986, an attempt to detect this issue and re-apply the power settings will be made during upgrade. This attempt is a temporary process to help address this issue for Insiders, and will be removed once we’re closer to the Creators Update release.
  • We’ve heard your feedback, and updated our Windows Error Reporting logic so that uploading crash data should no longer interfere with online game play, video streaming, Skype calls, or other network-intensive activity. Please keep an eye out for this if you experience any crashes and let us know how it goes.
  • We fixed an issue resulting in Microsoft Studios games like Microsoft Sudoku, Jigsaw, Minesweeper, Taptiles, and Treasure Hunt potentially freezing at the splash screen on launch.
  • We fixed an issue where, if the taskbar location was set to be on top, it was visible on the Welcome screens after upgrading.


Known issue. Lots too! oh :/
(put in bold is what I think can affect people here)

  • Using keyboard monitor hotkeys to adjust brightness won’t work as expected. Desired brightness change could be done via the Action Center or by going to Settings > System > Display.
  • You may see a popup “Catastrophic Error” dialog when opening OneDrive folders. If you do, the workaround is to open an elevated Command Prompt or PowerShell window and enter “attrib -O <path to OneDrive failure that resulted in the error dialog>”.
  • We’re currently investigating reports that DirectAccess isn’t working for some Windows Insiders.
  • When using Microsoft Edge with Narrator, you may hear “no item in view or silence when tabbing or using other navigation commands. You can use Alt + Tab when this happens to move focus away from and back to the Edge browser and then Narrator will read as expected.
  • Hey Cortana, play <blah> on <AppName> doesn’t work immediately after installing the app. Wait 5 minutes for indexer to kick in and try again.
  • Currently, the Windows Defender dashboard is primarily aimed at providing some minimal read-only status for Antivirus/Firewall, with some very limited functionality for interacting with the app. Here are some of the known issues with the dashboard to be aware of (not a comprehensive list):
    • Doesn’t accurately roll up status of Pillars
    • Doesn’t accurately show status when a 3P AV is on the machine.
    • History is not yet available in the new app
    • Advanced/Custom scans are not yet available in the new app
    • Settings are not configurable through the new app
    • Firewall control panel not launchable from new app
    • Firewall settings are not configurable through the new app

 

Happy download! And it should be with the new update system. Yay!

Updating now on my side. :)

@GoodBytes have you tried the new Windows Defender Dashboard? Couldn't find it. =/

Not yet.. Windows poke me to Restart after manually hitting the "Check for update" button and downloaded this latest build, but I was writing a news article. I am about to restart. Once the install ends, I'll have a look and let you know.

 

See you in a bit... maybe 3-bits, or 1 bytes.

Ok. Search for "Defender" in the Start menu search box, and you'll notice 2x Windows Defender, one will say "Desktop app" which is the old Win7 one, and the other will say that it is "Trusted Windows store app" in small text under the name. Pick the Windows store one.

  • New Cortana commands. You can not change the volume by asking Cortana, as well as SHUTDOWN (This is not going to end well...), you can also RESTART it, lock it, put it to sleep just by asking. Apparently, these features were highly recommended. Microsoft says:

Jane: Eww no.

Ted: Why not, your already dressed for it. *wink*

Jane: Ted your a dick ... Cortana, shutdown.

*Ted's pc shuts off*

Ted: hey you just ruined my work for the day.

Jane: Should have thought about that before ... *laughs and walks away*

HAHA I agree so much...

But I am afraid it is more like: you watch a YouTube video with speakers and the video goes "Hey Cortana, shutdown my computer!"

Now, I do know you can make Cortana recognize your voice, but still...

 

Trying shutdown and sleep with Cortana, Cortana goes "Sorry, I can't do this for you right now. Check back again after future updates"...

So it looks like it is not really there yet. But, asking Cortana to lock my computer works.
