    Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to fix the Red X on the volume icon when windows has booted? Once I install the drivers for my IDT audio so I can use beats, every reboot has the red x like it's not installed, but I can adjust the volume from my keyboard just fine and audio does work. The Microsoft High Definition audio driver doesn't cause it, but I don't get sound from all of my 4 speakers if I use that driver. Does anyone know of a new IDT driver for a HP computer. The latest one I found 6.10.6498 doesn't work and on HP's site for my laptop, 6.10.6491 doesn't solve the issue either. Thanks

    Try this as I have to do this to make sound work.

    Open computer management, go to services, go to windows audio service, click properties wait until you can hit stop, hit stop (take note of your particular sound card service dependency in my case Creative Audio Service), wait until you can now hit start, hit start, wait ...wait...wait.(it takes a while to restart)..once it starts...go to your sound card audio service and click start. All sound should be working correctly.

    I have to currently do this every restart.

    You're welcome, my pleasure. There seem to be dozens of reports of USB drives not removing safely in the Windows Feedback app, although most of them with very little detail. I am hopeful that Microsoft will fix this issue prior to RTM.

    Speaking of that Windows Feedback app, that thing is absolutely full of duplicates. I can't even imagine how they deal with the sheer number of duplicates, although I would assume there is a lot of automation on their part to sift through all of the garbage. Although I have to admit, the Windows Feedback app search capability isn't exactly the best.

    Well im sure they don't use the Feedback App internally but have a different frontend that's possibly also fairly automated in filtering and stuff so "similar" written things land in the same pool otherwise i wouldn't know how they would ever cope with the feedback they get... 1M is nice and all but that's too much data for humans :p

    Downloaded 10041 iso from MS and did a fresh install. SFC /Scannow failed at 28%. Ran the steps to repair successfully. So far the install is rebooting okay. Only events of significance I see are Cortana related. I don't care about Cortana.

    Nothing wrong and this is not joke. You can download the file, but it has problem.
    I downloaded build 9926 and its ISO file is fine.

    Thanks for the tip, hopefully it is just because of this beta I know the Leaked 10036 also had this issue where 9926 didn't. Since the latest driver or IDT is beginning of 2014, I hope it is just the beta and not the driver.

    I made the joke upon the small footprint, not over some malicious or incomplete file that came down to your machine. I downloaded today some of these new iso files and all went just fine though

    Only problem I have and have had with 9926 and this build is the Store Beta opening and saying it needs to update. I click update, it waits about 20 seconds then says it failed. Because of this, I cant use the Store beta at all.

    I'm pretty sure that Gabe Aul tweeted in the last couple weeks that the code was removed.

    Here also, but tha't ONLY because I have disabled UAC completely :)

    Settings app still works even if UAC are disabled completely!

    With UAC disabled completely I mean:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

    I kind of agree - for now. I'm sure they're going to improve it over time, but I'm actually pretty disappointed to see such little progress since the last official release and that's about two months of work. But maybe I'm wrong and they've yet to commit a big bunch of changes that fix all the issues at once.

    I don't understand why, but after 10 minutes of looking around I'm already tired of this build. The same thing applies to all previous Windows 10 builds that I've tested so far, and I never felt like this about any other Microsoft betas, including Windows 8 and 8.1.

    Here's a quick overview of my personal issues and things that drive me to insanity that are still present in this build, including the new issues and bugs that I've noticed so far (listed in no specific order):

    • Search doesn't work at all when I set it up to show an icon instead of the search bar.
    • Windows Defender has an invisible system tray icon.
    • People, mail and calendar are completely broken (yes, I know about the work-around).
    • The 1 pixel window borders make grabing windows extremely frustrating. What's wrong with a 2 or 3 pixel padding?

      This is how I have it set up on my Windows 8.1 installations:

      Naamloos.png

      Also, it doesn't really help that the mouse cursor flashes when doing this..
    • The Taskbar and Start Menu Properties is filled with gaps. I don't have any idea where they're going with this... :confused:
    • I miss the control panel button from the This PC window a lot. It now goes to the settings app instead.
    • The icon spacing in the navigation pane in Windows Explorer looks ugly and wastes a ton of space due to the icons being so far apart. It looks like the list items are bigger and they are definitely further apart than they were before. You can compare this yourself if you don't know what I mean.
    • The default Quick Access view in Windows Explorer thing is useless for me, since everything I have to access isn't in there and the things that are there are documents and images that I've only had to look at like one or two times.
    • Who came up with this idea anyway? Why does This PC show up in the navigation pane when the seperate hard disks are still listed on the same level? This doesn't make sense to me and it feels very cluttered and messy. :31:

      Untitled.png
    • It is very hard to navigate through the start menu all apps view due to the large letters and spacing. It's so much longer than it has to be. :mad:
    • The size of the search bar should be adjustable in my opinion. It is a little bit distracting and doesn't have to be this big on my smaller monitor.
    • Why are all of the title bars so huge anyway? :( Can't they just size it down by 50%?
    • I don't like the default size of the modern apps at all. It's all in a 4:3 format and the sizing does not save after closing a window.
    • That new stupid start thing is no longer resizable... What's the point of having it like this? For people like me who don't want to have it populated with modern apps it just shows up as an empty block covering a large part of my screen.
    • The start menu doesn't open when there's high disk activity... It once took me 15 seconds to get to the start menu while I was installing Adobe Acrobat.
    • Searching for Windows Update and opening the result that says "Check for updates"just opens the settings app instead of the correct page. Derp.
    • Browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Chrome are 'zoomed in' when I have the window set to fill the screen. This looks weird because the edges are cropped off.

    I know that I might be taking this a bit too serious, but I have no idea how they're willing to push out this update anytime soon since I haven't seen any real progress whatsoever compared to previous versions of Windows.
