[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Build 10162

The only important thing there is for the OEM with value to 0. There is no DWORD or something included.

 

I think the login screen background will sync to the desktop background in the RTM and that the reason it doesn't do that yet is that they wanted to show off the new background. Which does look nice, by the way, but I'd prefer to see my desktop background there or better, choose whatever I want for lock and login screen

 

it wont sync, it will be an option in "Personalize" Similar to backgrounds and lockscreen.

 

Found OEMBackground dword value

 

Will Any one tell, is search box working in this build '
Its not working in mine ,,, everytime I trying to search anything ,,I just keep searching but no result,,, with or without cortana

 

perfectly. opens browsers, starts programs, winks and nods the whole nine yards. Yes working fine.

 

No PF8 key Safe Mode Windows 10

There is currently no PF8 key for Safe Mode on the Windows 10 build 10162. In Windows 8.1 there was a way to reconfigure the Last Known Good Configuration in the Registry so you could use the PF8 key to get you into Safe Mode. Has anyone tried to restore this function?

 

Also it works fine here

 

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

If you can boot up run 'msconfig' click on the boot tab and check the Safe Mode box.

 

Just curious, do you have a source about that info?

Working fine here too.

PF8 Key Safe Mode Windows 10 Build 10162

I just verified that the following procedure works with Windows 10 Build 10162, using the PF8 key for Safe Mode.
Go to Regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM|CurrentControlSet|Control\Session Manager\Configuration Manager
On Windows 10 Build 10162 there will be nothing there.

1. Create a new DWORD value at the above key called BackupCount by right clicking in the right pane and choosing NEW-DWORD value (32-biy) and set it to 2

2. Right click on the Configuration Manager and select New-Key called LastKnownGood. Create a DWORD value in the right pane called ENABLED. Set the new DWORD to 1

Now the Safe mode key is set to being enabled.

Now got to a command prompt and open it as "run as administrator"
Type the following command: BCDEdit /SET {Current} BootMenuPolicy Legacy then hit enter
This above command will enable access the regular legacy boot menu via the F8 Key

 

Actually, that BCDEdit command is all you need to enable the legacy Advanced Boot Options Menu which can be invoked via F8 on boot. This command and legacy option has existed since Windows 8.

The other items you call out simply enable multiple Control Sets and adds Enable Last Known Good Configuration to the Legacy Advanced Boot Options Menu. These things can also be performed on Windows 8.x too.
