You've got to be kidding me. I actually like most of Win 10 UI but for god's sakes. They went in the exact opposite direction of almost all the most popular and praised file explorers?

Does it at least have tabs natively? That's all I really want from Explorer 2.0, I don't need Derek Smart's Desktop Commander.

After some additional consideration I retract my previous comment about it reminding me of Dosshell... It would in fact be an improvement over this.

Where is that screenshot actually from? I'd like to think that is a first pass to show that it's up and running before stuffing everything back in and tidying up the layout. It looks like a placeholder, especially the way the folder address is written. No way in hell is that final.

Known extensions have been hidden by default in Explorer since Win95 I'm pretty sure, and if not there it's still been a very long time.

The recent update (Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3194496)) seems to have fixed the webcamera issue for me. Previously, after the anniversary update, my Logitech c510 quick capture app kept crashing.

Installed the bash shell on a box where the Windows user I log in as is 'root', and I took the default option of naming the shell user after the windows user. Having the shell user be named 'root' confuses the Ubuntu subsystem really badly. Is there an easy way to reset it so I can give the shell user a less problematic username?

About the shell in general -- this really is the future of getting posix tools working on Windows, but without good network support I think I'll stick with cygwin for the near future.

The WSL is really nice and there are some improvements already on the insider track, supposedly chroot is coming and base OS is moved to ubuntu 16.04.

I've gotta say - I really like Windows 10. But holy poo poo the missteps Microsoft had made with handling of updates, QA, etc is really off-putting.

Sigh. Still going to be my OS of choice but I wish it wouldn't randomly re-enable things I've taken survivors steps to turn off.

The first time I tried to search when I installed Win 10, Cortana asked for my approval to gather data, I told it no and haven't seen it since.

Except in Task Manager eating up 60 MB of RAM, I guess. Had you managed to turn that off?

They renamed entire search service to Cortana, so if you somehow turn that off everything that relies on it will break.

lol, KB3194496 which just landed in the regular windows update can lead to reboot loops. That error was reported by the insider program members and Microsoft went ahead and pushed it to WU.

Hopefully someone makes a third party file explorer called that. Bonus points if they don't have Derek Smart's permission to use his name.

On my Lumia (running the W10 anniversary update), I can mark pictures in the Photo app as favourites and have the live tile cycle through those favourites. On desktop I can do neither. Is that not a thing on desktop? It should be a thing on desktop.

Yep. They decided to make a new imaging server so multiple apps can use the webcam at once. Except they only supported uncompressed video.

Most webcams are USB 2.0, which is 480 Mbit/s. In a theoretical ideal situation, a 24 FPS 24-bit 4:2:0 subsampling video with no audio can have 2 megapixels at 480 Mbit/s, which isn't even enough for full 1080p. USB also has extra overhead, so you're talking 720p at best. While that would have been great 10 years ago, nobody nowadays wants a webcam that can't do full HD, so nobody bothers supporting uncompressed video at all unless it's USB 3.0. Which means Microsoft's solution was worthless until they supported compressed video.

If your current computer says that your licence is attached to your Microsoft account, you should be OK.

That's the theory anyone, not sure anyone here has tried it yet.

So how do you prevent windows 10 from restarting while you are typing and using a computer with no warning dialogue box?

Seems like a really easy fix.. if typing restart = no

I owe my brother big time for this!
I've been in the fast ring for some time without any issues, but now I have a rather major one. Preview 14936 is failing to install, and I'm getting a warning now that Windows will reboot randomly and eventually fail to boot entirely because my current build has expired.

What can I do? I've tried installing this build multiple times and it always reverts me.

Since the anniversary update, my sound card drivers no longer seem to be working. I have an older PCI-E Soundblaster X-Fi titanium hd and I've tried both the unofficial driver and the official ones. Everything was working fine before the the update. I've tried uninstalling drivers and deleting them.

Ugh, I have similar issue with my old laptop.
It took over half a year after Win10 upgrade to get realtek drivers that actually worked on it, then Anniversary update came and broke sound again and my laptop is going to be mute again for who knows how long.

I just remoted into my work computer from my Windows 10 upgraded machine and noticed that the task bar from my local computer is showing up over the remote session.

Anyone run into that before and know how to hide it when my remote session is in full screen mode?

If you disable the reboot task in the task scheduler, Windows will say it's going to restart in the action center but never actually reboot. Good for letting you choose when to allow it to happen.
