I have never had an issue installing Office 2013 in any build of either the Technical Preview OR the Technical Preview for Enterprises. At all. Not x32 (which I did by error once), and not x64. However, it seems that the vast majority of complaints are revolving around aesthetics OR legacy software and/or hardware (anything that dates back to XP or older). Have you considered running your legacy software in a VM (if not even XP or Vista compatibility mode is an option)? I still find it WAY too early to be testing for aesthetics (I didn't test the Developer OR Consumer Previews of 8 for aesthetics). At this stage, I test for two (and only two) things - in any OS - compatibility (with the software I run today) and usability. Everything else gets added considerably later. Except for games that utilitze the SOE Launchpad, I haven't had any compatibility issues at all - only the Developer and Consumer Previews of Windows 8 were this stellar this early. (Have we forgotten how bad the early betas of 7 - and earlier - were on exactly those two issues?)
I think he is talking about Microsoft Office 2003 not 2013. However, I personally disagree with the use of Office 2003 in Windows 10 after many changes have been made to it. It can cope with the scheme of things in present time.
I was wondering if anyone is having problems with Automatic Maintenance? I get the dialog box when trying to start it saying it's unavailable. If I try to go into Task Schedule to see the settings, there are no Tasks at all. This is on a clean install of build 9926 and I did the dism restore health command.
Free up some hard drive space: 1.Disable Hibernate (saves between 3 or 4 GB) Code: powercfg -h off 2.Disable Swapfile (saves about 250MB) Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "SwapfileControl"=dword:00000000 3.Set Paging File to 200MB works fine for me.
Regarding the issues of Cortana being "deaf" for some of us, I too have that issue. For the record I'm on pure Intel hardware with my Dell Latitude E6400 business class machine (Core 2 Duo P8700, Intel GM45 chipset, IDT Sound chip which is Intel too, actually). I installed 9926 like an hour after it became available (only took 35 mins to get the ISO), got it fully updated, Device Manager shows every piece of hardware supported and working, and the one thing that bugged me the most was Cortana being "deaf" to me - my Wife is deaf (literally, since birth) and that's more than enough for me, now I can't even get my damned laptop to respond. Having said that, I checked the audio levels (I'm an audio engineer so I sorta-kinda know my way around these things), made sure it was all correct, verified the internal mic in the laptop was working, maxed out the levels just to verify it twice, used Sound Forge to record audio from the internal mic (no issues), also plugged in an older Plantronics analog headset/mic and recorded audio from that as well. Even went so far as to do a tiny bit of training with the Windows speech recognition routines and THEY all worked as well, but even after all this Cortana still can't seem to "hear" me and it's pretty odd as well as pissing me off too. So I wiped it and reinstalled it a second time, same basic routine of updates, reboots, enabling Cortana, enabling the use of the mic, checking levels, raising the input gain, etc etc and doing some test recordings of analogy audio input from both of the mics I have AND STILL Cortana doesn't respond. I have no idea what's going on but it soured me enough to make me go back to Windows 7 yet once again. I really can't stand what Microsoft is doing with Windows 10 but I keep hoping one of these builds will enlighten me (in some respects) on why they're doing all this crap with their operating system. If anyone has any other suggestions regarding getting Cortana working, I'm all ears... pun very much intended. For the record: the mics work, it's been verified, audio levels are more than acceptable for input to be recognized - the Windows speech recognition system responds to me speaking just fine, Cortana is just deaf for me in my specific situation and I cannot figure out why. I'm in the US (Las Vegas), everything for regional settings is for US English, it's all correct and working but "she" just can't hear me and it's pretty damned frustrating. Yes, I've had to log into my Microsoft account as well (something I really despise Microsoft forcing on people just to make use of this stuff but that's how it goes...) and it has no effect on Cortana hearing me at all.
Cleanup with Cleanmgr: Code: Cleanmgr /sageset:1 Cleanmgr /sagerun:1 Copy codes and save as Cleanmgr.cmd then run Cleanmgr.cmd .
If anyone knows a hotkey for the Notifications window, or any way to actually launch it without clicking on the tray icon (a shortcut to what...?), I'd love to know what it is. The reason I ask is that with a vertical taskbar, you don't actually get the icon in the first place.
Cortana was ignoring me but I got her to work by installing the sound card drivers for windows 8.1 provided by my hardware manufacturer. In my case ASUS.
I had the same issue and it turned out to be my Logitech "setpoint" software. I didn't know what the problem was so I reinstalled and checked every time I installed something and thats how I tracked it down. It may not be setpoint in your case but most likely a driver you installed. You can do the slow trial and error method like I did or just wait for a new build. I had to skip a build because my amd video card drivers was causing my explorer to keep resetting. Good luck.
I got the same problem of Cortana being "deaf" on my Dell Latitude E6430 EDIT: just had to raise the volume to max and boost to max. after reboot it's working now
please win 10 9926 key for clean installation?? my old key for previous versions doesn't work! i need for italian language disk iso this for me doesn't work... i'm online when install! XXXX-HQRJR perhaps that key is only for update from older versions and not for full install?? thanks many

I've tried Windows 10 TP run in safe mode. Retrieve the subscription passwords, and there stands or. freezes. Is there a solution or even this version does not work in safe mode.
