If bobkn is correct for the different cpu/heatsink combo that might be on your Intel computer,

Yeah, even if you get around to replacing the cpu fan in the end, it looks puzzling that if I enter the part number on the label in picture:

There is always the cheap 3 in 1 oil alternative.
Looking at videos of your unit, the cpu fan shows a label on fan with one video and no label on the other videos.
It's almost like the fan has been...

Yes, there are a fair amount of talented people on this great site.
Some I'm finding out are in their 80s and 90s.

There is one thing about Edge and Internet Explorer that has bugged me for years,
which Microsoft has never fully fixed. Some pop-ups still get through.

[How did you uninstall it?]

I used the default "Programs and Features" item.
I tend to not use non-Microsoft uninstall programs any more unless there is something that Disk Cleanup didn't clean...

Let's hope so.
I filled in the info on the survey that comes up when uninstalling.

For the moment, I'm renaming it as GPS (Guinea Pig Software) :)

I got an error window that kept popping up every minute or so after installing Chromium Edge.

Then I started asking myself "Why am I installing a browser that is not ready for full public...

Just like the quote in the cartoon show Futurama with Prof. Farnsworth:

Nothing is impossible! Not if you can imagine it.
That's what being a scientist is all about!

I don't see any adds on Microsoft Solitare collection maybe because I'm on Win10 Pro,
or I have an ad blocker "EdgeAdblock_10" .bat & host file that even blocks internal Microsoft adds?

Thank you for letting me know stealth2920.

Unless Microsoft added back in glass color code on insider builds further on, 4.3.1 is no good anymore for me.

Thank you LEOPEVA64

Ok, I understand.
It takes awhile for an bug fix to work its way down the pipe.


Looks like another bug, which I gather is...

Thick bright line in dark mode explorer.

I don't recall seeing this line before this update.
I don't know if this is a bug or a new visual feature in the explorer dark mode.
It's too bright....

[Comp Cmndo-Tiled menu]

The way I see the tile area, apart from the active tiles and inside folder thingy,
is just a launching place, no different than the taskbar, desktop. Just fancier.

For myself, the thin animated scrollbars were a little hard to use in menu/explorer.

I gave money generously to Classic Shell for a few years.
Might as well get my moneys worth staying with it.
I like both Windows 10 default menu as well as the classic.

On GitHub, they are saying the original Classic Shell did not work on Insider builds.
Works ok on normal released 1809.

Looking around GitHub, it's very easy to get lost by the way,

That's good to know.

Have there been any widespread icon refresh issues in 1809 re-release update after the first release,
where dragging a start menu item to desktop creates a shortcut with a white file icon?

That's super freaky about the activation issue.

I checked to see if my 1809 Pro system was still activated:
Not activated.
