The new insider build has a new memory manager with a new compression scheme allowing it to retain more active software in memory.
Start menu not coming up happened to me on my tablet and I have it set to tablet mode, also task switching doesn't work 100% (like when I click on Chrome in start fullscreen menu it doesn't switch to Chrome automatically, just sits in the background).Well I ran into my first glitch. I can't open my start menu! Hitting the start button or the windows key does nothing. Can't open the notifications on the right side either. I had noticed the notifications being a little slow to open sometimes, but no start menu is a little bit of a problem.
Ctrl+Alt+Del, signing out, and signing back in fixed it, but that's just weird.
*edit* notification center stopped working again. Start menu is still working, though sometimes a bit slow to respond. Like I click it, and a second or two later it opens. Or sometimes the notification/action center doesn't respond at first, but then clicking the start button will make it pop open.
Sigh.
In order to install in uefi mode you must set your installation device to uefi mode in the bios before attempting to install the os.
I keep having a problem where I will copy files between HDD and external media (SD, USB thumb drive, etc) and they will *almost* finish relatively wast and then just hang at 99% or "5 seconds left" for many times longer than the rest of the file copy operation took. I had a particularly long wait earlier and almost gave up (better part of an hour).
I've had the Start menu problem so many times. I've even restarted twice and still had it.
It was much worse during the earlier builds but it is still there. Ridiculous.
Just read the AT review. Nice that you can use game DVR to capture from the Edge browser. I could easily capture some live TV streaming. Also nice for tutorials.
I haven't kept up with this thread, so this problem may have already been mentioned.
I decided to roll back my Win10 upgrade to 7 before the 30 days is up. However, when I tried, Windows told me that files required to perform that step were removed.
I hadn't deleted any files because I had expected I would end up rolling back. After some googling, it turns out that if you use the media creation tool inside an upgraded Windows 10, it deletes your Windows.BT folder, making it impossible to roll back.
Yes, that's right, creating a Windows 10 disk/USB drive removes your ability to roll back. How absolutely idiotic.
Windows uses Windows.old, Windows.BT and Windows.WS to roll back.Windows.BT isn't what you need to roll back, it's Windows.old.
