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 ?
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.
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
