Takes to long to download on my crappy internet D=<

(I'm just joking, I'll be sure to add any of my issues and complaints, and if i know any fixes once I get it installed and start using it


ok so serious edit, I've run into my first complaint, though not sure if its an oversight or a bug, but if you have the taskbar on the top, the start menu is unable to be resized. sent feedback on it (I love that feedback app, well done microsoft!)

Everyone should do themselves a favor and restart their machine one extra time after they upgrade to Win10. That alone fixed half of the network weirdness that I was seeing on my VMware machine(VM version 8). I was also unable to type into the Explorer address bar until I restarted.

For some reason, it didn't play nicely with my AMD graphics driver. I had to reinstall just that one. When I booted it up, it defaulted to 1024 by 768, then said "No AMD graphics drivers detected".

I've restarted a couple of times and everything seems fine now, although I did leave my feedback in the app.

Something like this happened both with the Nvid card on my desktop and the AMD card on my laptop. When I first booted the digital vibrancy settings on both defaulted so colors went back to being dull. Resolution was fine though.

Well, let's see... At first any flash video would crash if I defocused my broswer. Windows utilities were crashing left and right before I installed the day one updates... which failed to install on my first attempt. Windows didn't even recognize that I had a graphics card (and therefore Windows Update couldn't grab drivers) until I manually grabbed the appropriate stuff online.

It seems to be fine now though, and I don't recall any other major problems. It's clearly pre-release software though.

It's not bad having played with it a bit.

Noticed general flakiness, nothing really broken or significantly broken, but some minor obvious rough spots. Lack of animation here and there, but that is expected.
Nothing really glaring, my battery life might have gone further down the tubes, but it appears search related, I knew what I was bargaining for.

I tried encrypting the whole drive (128GB) with bitlocker after Windows 10 installation but after 8 hours it only came to 10% of encryption progress. I conclude bitlocker doesn't work properly.

Is anyone else's OneDrive not syncing completely?

Also, hopefully they bring back general tablet functionality soon. Swiping from the left only brings up multitask view (or whatever it's called) and swiping from the top or bottom doesn't do anything.

I can't get the app store to open.

i cant get my dial application pass through wan miniport

Battery life has gotten really poor but that is to be expected as it is a technical preview. OS 10 lags a little if put on power saver making it harder and frustrating to use

I'm running it in virtual box and I allocated 4gb of ram and 256 mb of vram max it will allow and it's very fast especially on start menu search but I can't get Internet on it

I would like to request that all the intrepid updaters please provide their feedback to Microsoft through either the app or the forum here: Windows - Microsoft Community

Also, if the OP could update his post with a reminder for thread respondents to provide their feedback to Microsoft so that consequent Windows 10 builds can be improved.

I currently have 2 monitors and i chose to extend the display but my taskbar is also showing on my secondary screen. I don't know for sure if this is an issue or a feature.

Actually that's not an issue at all and I love to use taskbar on both display, but you can remove it by doing:
Right click on taskbar -> Remove tick from "Show taskbar on all displays"
