    Question for the technically inclined folks (if you have a moment).

    Problem: I have a Western Digital MyBook 2TB external USB drive not working in TP. When plugged in on Windows 7 as well as Windows 8.1 for the first time, Windows automatically recognizes it and installs drivers from within Windows (not from Windows Update). In TP, if fails to even recognize the device at all. WD does not provide drivers for the normal functioning of the device for Windows since it is typically included. And I understand this is a pre-alpha, but just trying to find work-around to make testing easier because I do provide feedback to Microsoft.

    Question: Would it be possible to grab the drivers (.sys files and such) from a working Windows 8.1 system and copy to TP? I am wondering about Device Manager - Properties - Drivers - Driver Details for the device driver file/location info. Not entirely sure where Windows stores driver files prior to initial detection of device or if I would copy from System32/SysWOW64. Personally, I would assume drivers would/should be identical between TP and 8.1 at least at this stage of development. Do you think this would work or cause problems in TP?

    Thanks!

    Appears build 9860 is back to unintelligent mouse wheel and wheel no longer follows the point. Only thing that made me think about upgrade is now gone or not in this build. Figures, advertising and world domination appz (Buy adobe M$) come before a smooth operating system. This one is heading to be a flop also. I figure the arrogance of the metro boyz will let that happen.

    I disagree slightly for the reason I am not experiencing problems yet. It is not so much different from the previous preview build though.

    I wonder if that's why I couldn't scroll in IE 11 with build 9841. The newest build, I can scroll with my Synaptics touchpad.

    I'm having the same problem. Is there a better way to report bugs than the feedback app?

    Also can we get more people to report the bugged icons in the delete confirmation dialog? This has been an issue since 8.1's release how are people not reporting it. There seems to be no relevant feedback about this in the file explorer feedback of the app.

    No. Maybe you use small screen ?

    Nothing is hard once you know what to do, you knew this reg setting in 8.1? as I did not, will be switched after first boot in future now.

    I don't mean that is easy to have the answer to a (whatever) question, I meant that was easy for you to have an answer to this specific question, given was answered on the very same page.

    Have you installed it on a VM?
    Windows show large spaces when it detects a touch screen, go in "System" page and you will notice that :)
