    Running with 8Gb on pro. Launching Chrome would bring up a completely white window with no title bar. Task manager would show memory and disk at 100% but would not show anything using them. Was very strange. Happened on both of the previous 2 builds.

    Not sure if this has been posted yet within the 15 pages of this thread, but this fix pertains to this build (PC in particular) and the visual glitch with Chrome, Explorer and possibly a few other programs.

    Code:
    Run regedit.exe
    
    Go to:  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
    Key:  PaddedBorderWidth
    Replace:  -60
    With:  0
    Reboot
    This was shared here at MDL by another user way back with the Technical Preview builds and this fix works miraculously with this build and the pixel offsets in Chrome and Explorer in particular. Maximized, they were going 1-2 pixels over top of the task bar and Chrome's title bar was squashed 1-2 pixels.

    Dang OCD! :cool:

    EDIT: Forgot PaddedBorderWidth key initially. Added thanks to user bkul. Thank you. :)

    Weird thing happened today.

    - After upgrading, I went to Preview settings and after clicking Fix Me it gave me a 0x0 error code.
    - I then did sfc /scannow, when I booted up, my activation was gone.

    Yeah. It didn't fix anything. I just used Toolkit instead.

    Toolkit allows you to install autokms and forget about activation :)

    To be precize there are a lot of ( Name, Value ) pairs for the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics but only PaddedBorderWidth has value -60.

    That is because you use it the old fashion way with HDD's but you have an point tho booting is taking longer on an full build

    Any ideas about what can go wrong in a profile whereby certain Edge extensions don't work? The two I've identified are AB+ and AB, neither of which have functional Options pages and so basically don't work (and they never have--not a problem with this build). In the case of AB, the page is almost blank. For AB+, the tabs don't even load (and nothing works on the page).

    Reinstalling these extensions and even resetting Edge completely do not help.
