I have some slowdowns too, when opening a folder even on 960 Evo it shows "We are working on it" for couple of seconds before filling up with icons. That only happens in new session when that folder is opened first time. It used to be practically instant.
As for that link, it gives you choice of what to download.
Hi there @CountMike
I managed to fix the VMWare and XP VM problem on this skippy release-- must have been a corrupt VM copy -- another copy worked just fine.
One niggle though -- not important too much is I can't access SAMBA files on a NAS (from the XP VM) even though it shows up in the XP windows places, -- just keeps prompting for userid and password even though it's correct. No problem though connecting to other W10 machines or the NAS connecting to the XP machine so I can live with that for the moment. (An idea I might also try is run the XP VM from a Linux host to see if I can access the NAS)
Replacing / upgrading that studio hardware is just too expensive and not viable for the volume of work I'm doing -- more of a hobby than a "real business" !! and the hardware still works perfectly so that's why I need the XP VM. To run XP native I'd need a really old slow machine --haven't got those any more !!!!!
I don't seem to have any of the I/O slowdowns you guys are reporting though -- even on Wifi transfers I'm getting around an average of 114 MB/s on data files around 2 GB in size (note not 114 Mb/s) so quite happy.
I believe Brink posted a note also that on this release (skippy) the WSL interface doesn't work -- Ms are aware and a fix will be presumably in the next update / release.

Hi folks
OE Classic (Free version) doesn't use IMAP and I think it only allows 1 account.
If you want a passable FREE email client and the auto config works then Thunderbird is probably about as good as you'll get for non browser type email clients. (Rant -- I really hate it when these auto config things don't offer a working manual setup !!).
Thunderbird does work on this Windows build although I can't use it for one account as it's non standard and there's no sensible manual option that works !!! -- However for gmail / standard isp stuff it's probably fine.
Cheers

Edwin is an Insider and is testing everything he can find to test.
I'm using Microsoft Office 365 2016 and I can tell ya that Outlook is not all it's touted to be and it's nowhere near EOL. So, kudos to Edwin for testing to see what works . . . I may be tempted to check out some of his finds if this Outlook craziness continues.
