[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

Only one thing wrong with your logic. The last build 9926 was released on a Friday.

 

That's right, I'm

Gabe was referring to a new blog post, not a new build. That blog post has already been posted.

 

You dont need an official statement to understand how legacy code works. Any code in older programs that called for compatibility with Windows 95/98 or rather Windows 9x would cause problems. That means anyone that would try to install something compatible with Windows 9x and not actually Windows 9 would run into issues.

Feel free to tweet Gabe/Joe Belfiore and ask to see what they say.

In their defense, who would've thought that Microsoft would start using numbers for OS naming. (At that time)

 

well, 10036 was withdrawn...

let's see to 10040-10045

 

A new bug?

It appears that my volume (speaker) icon in the tray has gone missing since the last round of updates. How to get it back?

 

There is no four days that passe by that I don't receive 'Definitive Update for Windows Defender'. It looks like Windows Defender is going to be a very efficient anti-virus in the future.

 

I had this. Rebooting my laptop made it reappear.

 

I rebooted several times, no luck so far.

I'm sure there must be another way to get to the volume controls, but I'm spoilt by the icon in the tray, never learned any other way to get there.

 

yep, and it is not like Panda crap which destroys entire systems

 

You forgot an important word in that sentence. "yet"

 

Code:

1) Press Windows + R to open Run.

2) Copy and paste appwiz.cpl  into it and click OK. 

3) Click on the 'Control Panel Home' link to the left-hand  side.

4) Click on Notifications Area icons.

5) Click on 'Turn system icons on or off'. Under the 'Behavior' set it to 'On'.

 

Finally, after trying all that it worked where it didn't work before. I found the volume icon hiding in the "notifications only" tray, it was a white icon on a white background. Sorted.

In case anyone is interested, this still works (I have it scheduled so that I get more than 1 Defender update a day):

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -SignatureUpdate
