    from windows blog Here are some known issues for this build
    •Some people might hit an issue where the username and password boxes do not appear or don’t accept input when logging in, which will prevent them from logging in. Possible workarounds include clicking the “Switch User” button, using Ctrl+Alt+Del, or pressing the power button on your PC to sleep/resume and try again.
    •It is possible to manually lock your PC during the initial out-of-box experience. If you do this, you will have to hard reboot your PC and restart the OOBE experience. (So don’t lock your PC during OOBE :)
    •There are several accessibility issues in this build, which may make it difficult to use with Narrator or 3rd party screen readers. Additionally there is an issue where using a Lens after enabling Magnifier may cause the screen to be unusable.
    •Some apps in the Store Beta will fail to install or update due to a licensing issue.
    •In this build, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps: •Open powershell as administrator
    •Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    •Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

    •You might end up in a state where windows open on your desktop are accidentally visible behind the Start Screen, Task View, Snap Assist, and when rearranging windows in Tablet Mode. This makes it difficult to read text and find what you are looking for. The intended design is that that only the wallpaper is visible behind these surfaces.
    •Creating virtual desktops may result in missing or black thumbnails in Task View.
    •You might notice a chess knight icon on your Lock screen to the right of the screen. This was added by the Lock screen team so they could tell via screenshots if someone was using the new Lock screen or the old one, and will eventually be removed in a future build.
    •Font sizes on the Lock screen on devices with high DPI can be really large.
    •We currently have the Tablet Mode notification turned off by default to address some of the issues we’ve been seeing. The notifications can be turned back on via Settings.
    •The touch keyboard doesn’t show up on login screen which prevents you from unlocking your PC when Narrator is on.
    •Some people might see frequent prompts to restart to install updates, even though no updates need a restart. This prompt can be ignored safely.
    •When you take a picture with the camera app on your PC and tap the circular icon in the top left to view the photo you just took, the Photos app will launch and then crash immediately.

    It has been really fun and exciting for us at Microsoft to work with you and hear your feedback as part of the Windows Insider Program so far. We will continue to listen to your feedback about the program and evolve over time, and we sincerely hope that it’s something for which you’ll feel proud to participate.

    Can someone explain me how to reinstall Mail, People and Calendar from the Store?

    I did try the powershell in admin with the explain method few post ago but i cannot pass this stage as the syntax is not right, do I have to do that for each app?
    I try to run in elevated powershell this:

    Edit: Fixed with Powershell 64 bits Doesnt work with x86

    Just restart the Windows Update from the services.
    Code:
    1. Press Windows + R key to open Run dialog.
    2. Type services.msc into it and click OK.
    3. Scroll down to Windows Update and right-click on it and select properties.
    4. Change Startup type to Automatic. Click 'Stop' button below it and click 'Start' button to restart it.
    5. Click Apply and click OK to close it.

    After run BF4: DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG("The application's failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed.").

    Is there any reason why the position of the windows explorer window isn't saved (so when you open it again it won't restore it's last position)?

    Agreed, although I'd say how you use Windows (and the basic layout) hasn't really changed since Windows 95. It just looks different.
    New paint and furniture as you say, but I'd have sacked the Interior Designer if they did some of those things to my house. :p

    49 ??? Ha, still a baby.
    Just wait till Bchat gets here. His 1,000 or is that how many wives his had. :confused:


    Its not just browsers, all the Metro apps are the same here, and thats after three installs o_O


    Well, people were screaming, and moaning, and bitching about how long it was taking to make stable builds.
    As the same goes, "Be Careful What You Wish For" :p

    I learned my lesson after the first, and only wife. My computer doesn't argue back.... much!

    However, if Cortana ever gets a geek update (id love a Felicity Smoak Mode) I might consider asking her to be my second wife. Somehow I doubt she would ever cheat on me... :eek:

    On the browsers overscan, it can be remedied very simply by using the GPU's overscan sliders in your GPU's control panel. Took less then a minute to fix that issue, and another minute to report it.

    Funny thing - it looks like only wide displays (16:9 ; 16:10) suffer from this problem as on my old faithful Samsung (1280x1024, 4:3) everything looks the way it should look, but on my laptop Metro apps are scaled improperly.

    I just encountered the keyboard bug... I could not write a single letter :confused:
    I had to use "on screen keyboard" to log in :biggrin:
    Restart is not helping, issue still there... It started after I applied the powershell command for "Mail, People and Calendar".
    Apps now work but keyboard no:g::g::g::g::g:

    It seems like this new build follows the old proverb, "One step forward, two steps back."

    Looks like MS has a GIANT workload if they expect to release by the summer.

    It is starting to "feel" better though. Minus the start menu, "Metro Apps" and bugs.
