    For those of you, early birds that are testing these Insider Previews. Any comments on whether Microsoft have improved how UWP-apps behave compared to "legacy" applications? Are we finally able to manually control the audio of UWP-apps using the Windows Volume Mixer, or do these apps still behave like their own separate thing not very well integrated to the overall operating system just like in the current stable build?

    I do love to use UnStream instead of Twitch.tv in the browser, and HyperTube instead of YouTube in the browser as it's more efficient in terms of system resources and I can freely scale the size of the video after how I see fit. But I do hate the fact that none of these Windows Store apps shows up in the Windows Volume Mixer... And I do hate that most of them keeps resetting their volume settings each and every time I close one the apps...


    I can't really understand why Microsoft have yet to implement a always-on-top option to apps either. I would love to have video apps always-on-top, or at least something like the "Picture-in-Picture" mode you see in the new macOS, and on Android and iOS.

    Yes that will work too:tasty:

    The reason I said default first was to see maybe if some of his tweaking may have caused slow down, if default was faster, then we would move to optimal

    Just checked groove music and it didn't show up in the volume mixer. MPC-HC does, of course.

    To disable Taskbar transparency open settings app -> Personalization -> Colors -> Make Start, taskbar, and action center transparent

    i had forgotten about that tool....thats been around for like 15 years. but today if u have over 20 MB u would figure that tool is no longer needed. i remember that tool worked great when DSL first came out and the tool would removed the OS restriction on the TCP IP settings.

    The tool has improved with age and OS's, but if you download at 20MB, mine does sometimes, but if you get that now, you don't need.

    Normally yes but it won't take your apps with over to the upgrade because of language but with en-us > en-gb it could be possible (you can simply try, it will state what is leaves before beginning the process.

    My question is why going from en-US to en-GB?

    Does not work at all. In fact, enabling that option makes the taskbar less transparent than when that option is disabled (set to Off)... Weird, eh? Is there maybe a generic Windows 10 Aero remover?

    Yes, you can.

    First install the en-gb MUI.

    Then change

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language\InstallLanguage from 409 to the en-gb number

    Then reboot and upgrade with the en-gb iso

    Then, if you want, install the en-us mui

    Then, if you want, change the number back 409

    Then, if you want, reboot and uninstall the en-gb mui.

    The issue is with connection. As I said before it is a national issue. It gets to the minimum speed level when doing other things while updating Windows 10 at the background. The RAM size is okay.

    i agree if u have 8 gig of ram and up u can run as many apps as u like. connection issues is a total different issue from your computer...remember if u pay lets say for 20 mb is only 20 mb the last 50 yards from the fiber optic switch box thats outside to your home.
