    hello !
    despite the quality of all above topics and threads, I can't figure out wether it is a clever move to install (thru update or clean install) build 10041 to replace W 8.1 on my main rig, would help me make a decision ?

    Perhaps Bad file/iso after download. Compare the hash with the original provided by m$.

    If you have any doubt about it go for a clean install it is always better to be safe than sorrow :D

    anyway to change icon size in the taskbar.

    seems kinda small for me.

    I like the size it is in windows 8.1

    Upgraded from 9926 to 10041 with no problems other than the mail and people apps, and that was a simple fix,
    had no lock ups at all and seems very stable and in fact its on my main machine and laptop as main OS

    the only thing I can fault it on is the RDP app, before I had a jump list with my remote desktop names now its just the
    mtsc.exe and multiple of itnot remote desktop names but it is only a preview after all not RTM or anywhere near it

    I personally haven't experienced any freezes/crashes with 10041 or any previous builds. But with this build in particular, just random error when shutting down or restarting Windows with something to do with SystemSettingsBroker.exe.

    Same here - 10041 seems to take a lunch break while rebooting at times.

    There's a way to change but to smaller icons – right click taskbar then properties -> Use small taskbar buttons.

    Edit:
    You could try to change DPI Scaling Size:
    Go to Control Panel -> Personalization -> Display

    Method 1: uncheck the Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays and use the slider (smaller or bigger)
    Method 2: check the Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays and select one option from the radio buttons (and you can also check the Custom sizing options)

    I would say do neither. Leave 8.1 as your main rig OS. If you want to play with 10041, do it in a dual boot or on a less critical machine.

    About the freezes on 10041 I think it has something to do with the pushed driver for ati cards but maybe I'm mistaken but for now back on official driver from amd we will see :cool:
