    I don't know the details yet, as I haven't re-booted (that probably won't happen for another day or two).

    You said you just got another update. Check update history and installed updates and you'll see if any update got installed.

    I like the DevTool present in Microsoft Edge for this Build. I can now dock it to the right-hand edge or corner rather than below as with previous Builds.

    Hi there,
    This is my 1st post on this thread as i have had no trouble with this build UNTIL LAST NIGHT :(
    i have rebooted my system plenty times - signing out, reboot, shuting down etc etc but this problem still persists...
    whenever i click the start menu, it doesnt open up.
    whenever i double click any of my system taskbar icons ( sound/network/action centre etc ) they dont open up..

    if anyone could assist, or is this a new problem altogether?

    Thanking you in advance,
    Cheers

    I think it's hard drive issue. Defragment can help. You can also turn off automatic update apps in store.

    It seems that we will finally be able to test how Sets works in the file explorer in Skip Ahead...

    I would love to see the ability to personalize the File Explorer at the Settings - like changing the colour rather than just having that white background. We have seen that in the UWP File Explorer . I wonder what is happening to it now. Did Windows developers abandon it all together or what?

    I just noticed that 'Activity History' cannot be deleted in this Build. I have signed into my MSA and try to delete my history but I couldn't but with error message. Indeed, I was really appalled by that because it proved I don't have control over my account. Nevertheless, I don't have problem with my information being online but I need to have control over it. Microsoft needs to find solution to this issue.

    Anybody having the same issue with deleting 'Activity History' searches?

    you can disable and delete all the history, inside Windows 10 privacy settings (Options -> Privacy -> Activity History).

    Hope fully will get a build tomorrow, but it feels like to me more like next week.

    Unfortunately that can't delete what are saved as 'Activity History' searches on the MSA. You need to check them out on the website. They just give error of something went wrong.

    confirmed, but after try few more times I was able to delete all, anyway I gues is due this…

    "Please note that we are in the process of verifying all of our delete processors. During the pre-release period, not all data may be completely deleted."

    something sad that I noticed now is that Microsoft Edge is uploading the whole browser history to the cloud by default! and there is not way to stop it currently, even disabling "Activity History" in privacy settings does not stop it.
