Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 17643 - Apr. 12

Yes...

 

Yes, this is working much better now!
Ctrl+Select opens the app in a new tab to the right of the currently focused tab. If the window of tabs has lost focus, the app will open in it's own window.
Forget searching in a new Edge tab for apps, this is way more intuitive!
The arrows at the left and right also move the whole group of tabs over, not just one at a time.
You have to train it to remember window positions and sizes!

The 'Tabs from last time' and Alt+Tab is still glitchy though.

 

lol

One never know what hidden gems some developers have put in their code. I've seen it before.

 

I'm going to wait for the new build, as Sets is gone here, again. Do I care?....not really

 

Nice find Edwin! It also works from the taskbar *Biggrin

 

Snapping your favourite browser and Sets windows to the sides eliminates the need to use Edge if you don't like the browser. As I only have a small screen I'm better off just minimising Vivaldi though.

 

Firefox won't stick to Sets unless you are showing Title Bar, Chrome won't work at all!!! *Confused

 

A few 'oddities':

If the whole Sets window is minimized, you have to double click taskbar icons to bring the window back up, or hover to show the thumbnail then click on that!

IE won't go to Sets unless you open a second tab and drag it to Sets window! *Confused

This is cool:

If you are not using custom title bar sizes and the Sets window is maximized, you can close tabs by wheel-clicking anywhere on them.

 

A little bit more work and Sets could be useful!

Make the Tab Bar match accent color;

Enable the option to custom save Groups...

 

@Martin, there's an easy method to completely bypass every mouse click, every keypress, all input in OOBE, those new security questions and everything else, making it completely automated. Below instructions might give an impression this is complicated or time demanding, but believe me, it's not. Time used for this procedure is gained in automated OOBE.

This sets default keyboard layout, in this answer file I use it's Finnish. Some other languages:

• Brazil – Portuguese > 0416:00000416, pt-BR
• Canada – English > 1009:00000409, en-CA
• Canada – French > 0c0c:00011009, fr-CA
• France – French > 040c:0000040c, fr-FR
• Germany – German > 0407:00000407, de-DE
• UK – English > 0809:00000809, en-GB
• USA – English > 0409:00000409, en-US

Following four tags sets the OS language, in my case I use UK English. See above list for some other languages:
Code: <SystemLocale>EN-GB</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>EN-GB</UILanguage> <UILanguageFallback>EN-GB</UILanguageFallback> <UserLocale>EN-GB</UserLocale>[/quote]
Then the initial local admin user account, your account. Change Description, DisplayName (what should be shown in sign-in screen) and Name (how the profile folder will be named):
Code: <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Description>Local admin account</Description> <DisplayName>Admin</DisplayName> <Group>Administrators</Group> <Name>Admin</Name> </LocalAccount>[/quote]
Change RegisteredOrganization and RegisteredOwner as you wish (directly after LocalAccounts part), set time zone, for your UK time it would be GMT Standard Time. Full list of Windows Time Zone names: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/pre...inembedded.11)

Code: <RegisteredOrganization>TenForums.com</RegisteredOrganization> <RegisteredOwner></RegisteredOwner> <TimeZone>W. Europe Standard Time</TimeZone>[/quote]
OEM information next. Change everything as you'd prefer:

Code: <Manufacturer>TenForums.com</Manufacturer> <Model>TF-PC1</Model> <SupportHours>24/7</SupportHours> <SupportPhone>+1 (234) 567890</SupportPhone> <SupportProvider>TenForums.com</SupportProvider> <SupportURL>Windows 10 Help Forums</SupportURL>[/quote]
Towards end of answer file, next after CopyProfile tags, set OEMName, RegisteredOrganization, RegisteredOwner and TimeZone once more:

Code: <OEMName>TenForums.com</OEMName> <RegisteredOrganization>TenForums.com</RegisteredOrganization> <RegisteredOwner></RegisteredOwner> <TimeZone>W. Europe Standard time</TimeZone>[/quote]
Save the answer file on root of your install media as unattend.xml. Install Windows normally from that install media until you get to OOBE > Region and Language selection. Press CTRL + SHIFT + F3 to restart in Audit Mode:





When in Audit Mode, Sysprep GUI is shown. Let it stay open. Copy the unattend.xml file from root of your install media to C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep folder. Select (tick the box) Generalize in Sysprep GUI, click OK to run Sysprep setting it to OOBE and reboot as shown in screenshot:





That's it! Totally automated, unattended OOBE will be done after restart, next stop being sign-in screen asking you to set password. As there is no current password set, leave the top most text field Password empty, enter and confirm your preferred new password:






Notice that the sample answer file is for 64 bit Windows. Change each instance of processorArchitecture="amd64" to processorArchitecture="x86" for 32 bit Windows.

Attachment 184855

Kari[/quote] Yeah - thanks. I have used such in past, just not recently. My observation was more really geared to general design for all users rather than myself specifically.

 

My post was really geared to all our members wanting to make it easier, but inspired by your post *Smile
