Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14955 for Mobile and PC

ok thanks

 

Other than few hangs on IE (not responding), this build seems to be very stable on my desktop machine so far!*Smile

 

Actually I installed Avast because the Windows Defender update problem is well known and not yet patched by MS. When there is a build update next week I will uninstall Avast in order to attempt to get the new build.

 

That's what I thought you wrote earlier. I was not/am not aware of a Defender problem. News to me and perhaps many other insiders/forum members.

 

First I heard of it. Defender is working OK for me.

 

What defender update problem? Any links you can share?

 

There's one of several things that's bugging me (and I keep bugging MS for it), Snipping Tool, does not remember last folder used to save snippets to after a reboot but always defaults to Pictures.

 

PicPick - by NGWIN, All-in-one design tool, Screen Capture, Image Editor, Color Picker, Pixel Ruler and More

 

No, I tried that one and several ones but Snipping Tool is already in there and it would require only small change to work properly. I'm not very graphic art oriented so simpler, the better for me. I already modified it to my liking and but for this little thing it would be perfect.

 

Mike it has no permanent folder to save to, you need to point it where you want, after every screenshot,
or paste it directly into Paint.
Or, if you do not need to make any changes(cropping, blurring, or adding text) you can also just paste into the forums(if using Edge make sure Source Mode in the Editor is turned off) or Skype.

 

That's how I set it up too, it always defaults to Pictures (C:/Users/Count/Pictures. I know I can paste it from clipboard but than have to open another application/program, save from it etc.
Wander if there was a Registry setting for it ?. I have a folder on a secondary disk that's default for all downloaded pictures from anywhere else. Scanned stuff goes to it's own dedicated folder etc.

 

You might be able to find it with sysinternals Process Monitor.
