No - respectfully, I think you are missing my point. Once you click the reset key, screen retains focus and you get the full five seconds. Watch this video.

Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

This works every time.

Focused or not, for me the H-v virtualization window does not accept keyboard inputs until I click on it with my mouse. Does this every time after a reset/reboot or whatever that causes resizes of the window. And it's really annoying!

After working yesterday, I was too tired to deal with new build. However, on my Intel desktop,the download and complete install took place with no intervention on my part. This morning I am installing on the other two machines on fast download. From what I’m reading, most basic functionality has improved.

Was this on a clean install or running Setup from within Windows? I made my ISO by the same method and running Setup to do the upgrade worked OK.

I can confirm that downloading the setup files using latest UUP-Dump and then using latest UUPtoISO posted here at TF, works flawlessly. No usage issues at all with the created image.

Anyone tried the Microsoft Photos Companion for Droid or iOS along side the Photos App?
It's really hit and miss for me; just wondering about others experiences, if any.

I just installed and did it, Edwin. It's a bit awkward, but works. Trying to balance the S4 while pointing at a QR code, and tapping a gallery pic is not easy, for me!

Then, couldn't figure out where the &^%&^% did it import to? Not well documented. Ended up being a new folder under your Pictures. And they are there. C:\Users\<User>\Pictures\Imported from Photos Companion

Easier to Bluetooth it. But it works. Also have the regular Phone Companion on my S4 so when I take a pic, it automatically xmits to OneDrive Camera Roll.

Haven't tried that one yet, but it looks interesting and useful.

I haven't tried it, and may try it just to see on my Taimen, but I have been using Google Photos since back when it was still Picasa, and it already hashes my upload needs as it is, so, for me, this would be pretty redundant.

Speaking of Photos App, this one just popped up for me. Never seen it before.



Anyone else seen this before?

If you are using Hyper-V it can be tricky to get to the DVD boot prompt where you are asked to press any key to boot from the DVD.

For me it usually requires 2-5 attempts. The problem is that Hyper-V closes the connected window and opens it up again losing focus every time you reboot/hit reset. It's a pain in the butt.

When it is really important that VM does not even try to boot from VHD, like for instance when I have sysprepped a Windows image in Audit Mode and want to boot from WinPE ISO to capture the image, I simply move "Boot from DVD" first, then move "Boot from file" option to be after network boot option:



This way, if I miss the grace period to press a button to boot from ISO, VM does not boot and I can reset it and try again. No stress.

I do not get that issue.

Yep, this is what I do too, but why does Hyper-V sometimes automatically move the efi boot option back to top? It is very annoying feature too.
