I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside (OK, a hopeful guess) that one of the promised hotfixes for 9879 this week will be for none other than the Explorer.exe GDI leak in the taskbar progress bar icons. My reasoning: there's just no way that they can let that slide until next year.
Logic would say you're right, but according to Gabe on twitter it doesn't meet the "hotfix bar" Apparently my x99 chipset rig BSODing with any GPU drivers (AMD or NVIDIA) on this build also doesn't meet the bar (it's a kernel bug).
Gabe Aul confirmed 9879 isos to be available quite soon after having gotten some feedback of today's hotfix. As said earlier they all will be available in x-files-box these days
I am raised to appreciate the good efforts of others and give credit to those who deserve it. I sincerely think Microsoft deserves the compliment.
I do apologize if my comment was understood differently. People often joke that Microsoft doesn't do too many unique things these days and so I was just joking along those same lines. I agree with you 100%. I appreciate the direction that Microsoft is going with regards to Windows 10 as well as the Insider Program. I will definitely buy Windows 10 if this continues to shape up. Most of all, I appreciate how Microsoft is listening to our feedback and even implementing things based on that.
Funny, I remember when MS dumped the beta testers program because users were going nuts over MS idea of dumping the 4 applications bundled with Windows Vista Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Movie Maker, Windows Calendar and Windows Mail and were replaced by Windows Live Essentials suite. A lot of good testers threatened to leave the beta program because MS wasn't listening or even commenting on suggestions. The magic phrase was BY DESIGN Insider program sounds a lot better to MS because it's not a closed beta, users won't gripe about getting a free version of the new O/S and they work for free. . Microsoft Connect testers were eventually promised a free copy of Win 7 (I have a signature copy) and the rest were allowed to continue using the O/S for a few more months. Ms had to listen and make changes because the flow of criticism was overwhelming. So far to me, it's just eye candy except for those ugly new folders (yes my own opinion). 9879 is buggier than 9860 and it's normal if MS is making a live major change to the O/S. I'll pass on this version and wait for the next. Then, I might just do a bit of community work (Customer Experience Improvement Program) instead of beta testing.
I just did an "upgrade" from 9879 fast release to the iso MS is now distributing. Was that exciting or what? Got to 3% and stayed there for so long I thought it had gone into a never ending loop. But it finally did its thing and seems to be okay. Don't know what I gained, if anything.
My understanding is that this November update is meant to solve the keyboard backlight problem, but after applying the update mine is still not coming up as I type this message.
I believe, from reading, that its only purpose is to solve a blue screen problem which some users have had.
yeah its not for the keyboard which is really funny because the file they patched is the same file that contains the bug causing the keyboard issue (win32k.sys) anyway the patch is for some 0xAB BSOD people were seeing on shutdown. Was ANYONE here seeing that? Because I definitely wasn't, at least on the machines that run 9879 (not my desktop)
Hello, My replacevan value key is alreay set to 1. I cannot change the value, even in admin. I think it's an other problem. Any other idea in order to update to the new build (whitout réinstalling - )
