    Hi folks

    actually that screen border doesn't have any white border like yours - must be themes etc you use

    mine comes out like this this :

    for the rest I'm happy with this skippy -Not sure why Ms introduced this skippy -- seems other than faster install nothing of any note (at least with what I do) has changed.

    Confirm though MR when mounting an image gives GSOD and re-boot required. Backup / restore which is my main concern works perfectly though - and temporarily if any problems with that I can use Linux DD or rsync for individual files.

    A large percentage of elements in the Windows 10 OS is no longer pleasing in appearance!
    (That's my polite way of saying, They both look like sh*t!)

    Hi there

    how often are you actually in the menu for that to be an irritant -- also try using different themes.

    Any sort of OS with a GUI has to have some sensible method of executing an application which means essentially some type of cascading menu system -- unless you want that hideous mobile phone infinite scroll thing we had with W8.

    I can register zillions of things about Windows I don't like but this particular grouse doesn't even appear on my radar as I'm in the menu system for such a short time in any case.

    cheers

    I don't have any theme installed, I don't like the themes (some of them are horrible, like the ones you see in some screenshots that some people upload here, but it's a matter of taste) and the menu that you show in that image is not the one I'm talking about, that menu doesn't has the white borders.

    I refer to the context menus of the folders, drives and also the one that appears on the desktop.

    By the way, in the gif above you can see that Microsoft fixed the problem of the "new" option in the context menu, I don't know exactly in which build they fixed that bug but, before, that dropdown menu took a few seconds to appear and even sometimes the pointer was blocked, as it happens with several bugs, it only appeared in some cases and it was reported several times:

    A long time ago I made a gif showing the problem.

    Hi there

    @LEOPEVA64

    I know it's Friday and I must be getting really obtuse here - but still can't see what you are seeing

    I'm trying to understand what problem is but you've lost me as I can't reproduce it.

    On desktop for example Macrium on desktop --right click on the macrium and I get :

    so I haven't a clue about the problem.

    Jimbo,

    Are you using the dark theme? For me the outline only occurs in the dark theme.

    Macrium XML error (schedule backups)


    Hi folks

    with latest patch (Free version X-64) MR throws error with XML. (On skippy 18242)

    Backup seems to work (and it restores OK) so I suppose creating a schedule is when it throws error.

    Hi, I had the same error a couple of days ago testing macrium free with a couple of machine (win 10 pro 18.03 not insider, and win 8.1) i do not remember if it was in 8.1 or 10; point is I do not think the error is specific to "skippy".

    cheers!

    Hi folks

    another defect in skippy

    network (and monitor) shows Internet connection functioning 100 %

    Try and connect to internet

    randomly get this

    New Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 18242 (19H1) Sept. 18-nw.png

    (Translation effectively means -- Can't connect to internet - no network connections available) which is absolute B/S as the little icon shows full connection- other machines can ping this one etc.

    when it woks it's fine but shouldn't lose internet connections -- here I have one of the best and fastest ISP/s on the planet. !!

    Only have these random dropouts from Skippy. - Annoying as I'm trying to stream SKY GO footie (soccer played with proper round ball) from England's premier league !!).

    Oh well off to pub for 2nd half !!!

    Cheers
