A user named XenoPanther on Twitter said MSFT might release a second build this week. Tomorrow. Maybe the first 23H2 build on the Dev Channel while 22H2 tests on Beta?
I installed 22000.556 and then to this build using Windows Insider Program, all went fine except that when opening any video file, it doesn't open, view on task manager the process "Windows Defender Smartscreen" is using 25% of the disk, ending that process the video opens instantly. I reported it on the Hub
Save this as .reg file and execute to remove terminal context menu. Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked] "{9F156763-7844-4DC4-B2B1-901F640F5155}"="" To undo and get back terminal in context menu, enter - in front of HKEY line like this -HKEY and run the reg file again.
my audio quality has improved in this build, maybe because it reinstalled the drivers?. I have to use a lower volume to. I also have a normal resume code (e3) instead of a0. Casting doesnt work but thats ok i use cyberlink and google
If its windows media player ...you have to keep openiing it ..wait a min an force close until the vid fiiles are processed. Ive had this issue in previous builds but no this one, all other media player work fine.
i tested on WMP and Media Player Classic, the problem occurs on both apps, but for example if i manually open Media Player Classic and drag the video file, it plays instantly
That's the usual "SmartScreen" garbage hashing, hashing, hashing, for the sole benefit of microsoft corporation. Can try disabling it in a terminal / powershell / cmd (Admin): Code: reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System" /f /v EnableSmartScreen /d 0 /t reg_dword reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\smartscreen.exe" /f /v Debugger /d "%systemroot%\system32\systray.exe" taskkill /im smartscreen.exe /t /f to undo: Code: reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System" /f /v EnableSmartScreen reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\smartscreen.exe" /f People that did not run dev before do not know yet how bad it is vs. in release (all beta and dev builds have telemetry on overload, zero privacy, yet people run them as daily driver pff)
