    Windows 10 Tablet mode

    I still feel Windows 10 isn't focused on tablet usage. While no doubt someone will state that they've tacked on new features the experience is diminished. Edge is still garbage in general but it's not even worth comparing to the Metro version of IE, if Vivaldi supported touch input better I'd...

    Windows 10 build 17074 discussion (Redstone 4, Fast)

    I hadn't bothered with the last few updates but coming into this one i'm uncertain what the hell MS are doing! 1. Why do apps show the menu bar by default rather than using a downward swipe to activate it? The store app hasn't even been retooled for this resulting in the top of the app being...

    Customize the look of live folders

    For some reson MS chose to change the way images are displayed on live folders, in Windows 10 the images are cropped in order to show a square preview. Is their a setting which will revert back to showing the full image per previous version of Windows? My attachment shows Windows 10 live...

    Volume rocker?

    Did you not notice my use of the word "primarily"? This is backed-up by almost all marketing material on the product line

    Firmware updates don't install?

    Please see attached. The latest insider update won't complete without this firmware update running however it won't simply install itself and isn't seemingly giving me the option of starting the install?

    Volume rocker?

    The device is primarily designed to be used horizontally however i.e. the side with the type cover is considered the bottom.

    Volume rocker?

    The volume rocker on my nSP is essentially round the wrong way being that vol+ is on the left side and vol- on the right. Why did MS do this and has it been this way since the rocker was originally moved from the side?

    What's your single favorite game you've played? And Why?

    The original Wing Commander, great gameplay, branching storyline, pretty impressive graphic and audio capabilities for it's time. Which there were space fighter sims around today, hell I wish there were any decent flight games around today.

    Coffeelake and Cannonlake

    MS don't refresh model to often SP3 - SP4 was 16 months, SP4 - nSP was 20 months. Are you going to return and sit around with your fingers crossed for a new(er) model to appear?

    Windows 10 build 16251 discussion (Redstone 3, Fast)

    Downloaded and applied to my Surface without issue FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING so I thought after a long hiatus I'd take a look @ 10 on my desktop, dusted off a HDD installed 16232 from ISO, after install I downloaded 16251 but the update won't start the PC just reboots as normal. I know this...

    15007 update to 15019

    I skipped 15014 last week since from user reports it seemed to have a few random bugs and 15007 was working OK for me. Does skipping an insider build equal a larger download? I don't have anything else downloading on my network however it's been running for almost 4 hours and is currently at...

    Are you satisfied with Microsoft's digital voice assistant- POLL

    Can anyone explain to me how Microsoft go about implementing Cortana as part of an OS, excluding the US? Looking back even pre Cortana when Kinect first came out for Xbox 360 voice commands were unavailable outside the US, I think it took 6-12 months to be available for EN-AU despit the fact...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 14951 Discussion (Redstone 2; Fast Ring)

    It's one thing to be buggy it's another for the "buggy" build not to even download. Is the talent pool at MS that polluted that something like this can actually not be picked up or are they so desperate to sell the "one windows" illusion that they are forced to offer up whatever they have...

    Windows 10 Preview Build 14942 scrolling issues in Edge browser

    Corrected in 14946 thankfully though they didn't think a big yellow star on the toolbar might look out of place
