New build 10049

[adamszeto]

I have updated to new techincal preview build 10049. I found it is very hard to scroll a page by swiping two finger on touch pad, such as IE. Anyone is facing this too ?

 

[Skamath]

mine works just fine!

10049 killed my Word / Excel / PP preview... back to 10041...

Anyone find a solution to the touchpad issue?

Every time I've tried the TP on my SP3, my keyboard/touchpad would go 'stupid' when going from active to passive or vice versa, or disconnecting/connecting.

Because of this, and the horrible touch interface, I've only run each major build for a day before I give up and go back to W8.1

same problem , give a heads up if anyone finds a solution

Do a clean install and not an upgrade.

I don't use a smart cover, but in general i've found build 10049 alot more friendly towards us SP3 owners. Cannot wait to the next update, sounds like its shaping up to be very nice! - Adam

I haven't done a fresh install of the OS, only upgraded and I find it quite difficult to scroll as well. But what bothers me really (it's the first build I tried longer than one day, which is an improvement!!!) is, that OneNote isn't working as before. I can live with some touch unoptimized (or is it inoptimized??) things and login issues and such things. But I bought an SP3 to make quick (or longer) notes fast and easy, but sometimes the pen doesn't write and only erases or it doesn't erase if I want it to. And the worst thing that happened was, that the pen doesn't work at all and while I was trying to solve this problem, it deleted nearly half an hour of work done... Now it's the question if a fresh install of this build helps or if I should role back?..

I'd check the pen/screen drivers

If you need an assurance an app will work, or have to rely on the machine, the answer is very simple. Roll back to 8.1; pay attention to the warnings and disclaimers; and don't install a TP regardless of how tempting it may seem. It is a test platform, not one meant for production, and use at your own risk is meant to be taken seriously....

Yeah, I know that a roleback is the most reliable way and I have no problem with something not working. I just mentioned my opinion about it. I just save my work more often than before and have a notepad by my side, just in case
