Windows 10: New Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10074 now available

10071?

 

haha Badrobot,

could it be a typo?


You are the only one though to mention this.

If it's 10061 I won't say anything. Some people really prefer to stay with old builds but I don't remember having 10071. *Smile
Anyway, I can't comment on your post about start screen cuz I don't use it. Never used it even on Win 8.
I am a Classic Shell fan. *Smile

 

I do remember an articael saying that 50% of testers would get the blurry background and the others would get the non-blurry background on the transparent start might be away for M$ to tell them apart.

 

i really wish Microsoft would decide on what name they want for Spartan, now it is Microsoft edge. duh

 

also a few questions:
when all this is done and Microsoft releases the version for the public, how do I go back to 8.1 that was on this test machine prior to all the upgraded versions of the technical preview?

Also how come Cortana does not have sound on a pc? my sound works for everything else but when I type in Cortana there is no sound coming from her. I do not have a microphone hooked up but that should not make a difference if I am typing to her

 

I have the 32 bit running in VMWare Player. It didn't crash during setup. But it's really slow slogging. On the Brightside my MoveIt hotkey utility seems to work without being run as administrator. Unlike previous W10 previews.

The weird thing I got so far, trying to run CCleaner Portable even as administrator I got This Application Cannot Run On Your PC. A fine howdy do. No other explanation. (Edit: never mind. I'm so used to clicking on the x64 version I did it automatically. The 32 bit copy works. )

Edit: I'm posting with Spartan/Edge. But I can't find any About Box to see what it is calling itself. Pressing F1 does nothing. No Help or About in "actions."

 

With this annotation thingie (Web Write in Edge) I create unintentional CapTcha's *Smile

(Oh well. It showed up in the edit but disappeared when I posted. Then Edge hung(pun intended ) )

 

You can get Windows 8.1 install media here, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...-refresh-media It will accept Windows 8.0 and 8.1 keys, even embedded OEM keys. Or use your recovery media, if you made it.

Can't help you with Cortana, I have the same issue.

 

Ref Google Maps problem.
Chrome and Edge on two 10074 computers.

Edit:- Works on Internet Explorer!

 

Ops... I'm a bit late ! Downloading now...

*Smile

 

i have another cooy of win 8.1 but not on disk, i can download it and try to go back with that then

 

Just match the version you download with the original version that was installed. That download will create install media for you too. It's option one here, http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...ad-create.html

 

Anyone having problems with scheduled tasks not running?

My backups, scheduled with Macrium, are just not being run, even though the Task Scheduler has recent run dates.

In addition, they won't run manually from Task Scheduler.

Pretty serious bug if this is happening to others as well.

(10074 updated from 10061).

Update.
This is a compatibility issue with Macrium. See here:- Error message when creating schedule

Got mine running again but there will be a Macrium fix come out I guess.

 

@alphanumeric I have used this for a copy of 8.1 pro to save an ISO. I also have a license for 8.0 pro. That key(8.0 pro) will work with this ISO too, so I wouldn't have to install 8 then upgrade? Or would the 8.0 key only work with 8.0 and require installing and then upgrading to 8.1
