    By changing the REG_DWORD hexadecimal to zero.
    Code:
    HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX
"IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled"=dword:00000001

    But the XAML Start Menu is the future. And I guess it is required for better start menu functions, Interactive live tiles, Metro 2.0 maybe?

    Dont know if anyone else has noticed this...

    With there being no server build of 9926 released, I was surprised to see the January 27th Update Roll-up available for it in the Microsoft Catalog!

    h t t p s://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=KB3035129

    So it appears updates are publicly available for a currently non-public/released OS?

    Been looking forward to a new Server build to test on some of my Hyper-V Networks. Hopefully the update availability points towards a near release.

    Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but ever since the first Technical Preview, I haven't been able to keep window animations enabled, after every reboot I have to manually go into advanced system settings and disable and re-enable them before they start to work again.

    Just discovered a weird issue on the latest machine. It's a HP dc5800 with the Intel Q33 Express chipset. The video driver is dated 2012 but newer than anything available at Intel.com. It was running Windows 7 Pro x64, upgraded with the 9926 x64 ISO.

    The issue is, go to desktop personalization, click on Desktop Background. While that dialog is open, the one that shows all the available backgrounds, it seems that everything is in a constant display refresh loop. Click the checkbox next to one of the enabled pictures to deselect it, a second later the window refreshes and the box is checked again. All other currently open windows, the taskbar and desktop icons are also constantly refreshing/redrawing themselves. Close the Desktop Background dialog, it goes back to normal.

    Any idea where to track this one down? Feedback app shows about 15 people have reported same or similar issue, added a "Me too"

    9901 cured me of any further curiosity about "intermediate" builds (between official releases)...;)

    Within the next few Insider builds, we will have options to make the Start menu transparent along with the taskbar. Not sure if the window frames or title bars will have transparency option or not though.

    someone a few pages back said its the auto color causing some glitches for personalization. so I clicked on the auto color option and selected a color and fixed the issues I was having. it might work for those also?

    If you happen to have your Windows 10 machines pointed at a WSUS, it will report them as "Windows Vista" where it previously reported them as "Windows 6.4" - WSUS is apparently using the kernel version number to decide what OS it is. Doesn't otherwise affect functionality, if you have imported the updates and unconverged it in the registry, it will download and update as normal.

    This is the customization I do after install (saved as .reg file), and as necessary, for machines on my network because the Internet is slow and I don't want it downloading new builds automatically and I want it to use my WSUS. If there's a new build, I'll learn about it here and download the ISO at home. Our Internet at work is *really* slow.
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX]
"IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"UxOption"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
"BranchName"="No_Updates_Please"

    For you who have 0x80070057 error in new windows update, try to change registry for update in control panel, it worked for me so I didn't had to reinstall it

    The XAML Start Menu can maybe scale better when switching to Tablet mode. Note that currently the elements are too small for touch in tablet mode compared to Windows 8. So probably the new Start menu, taskbar and Action Center will be scaled up in Tablet mode.

    How about, instead letting it check for the lab No_Updates_Please, you actually disable flighting?

    When drivers coming with DX12 suport you get 12 feature level.

    But from AMD maybe get DX 11.3 for now.

    Because I wasn't aware that existed. :) Always more than one way to get something done!
