Is anyone other than me experiencing that themes from the Store are downloaded but can't be applied? After hitting the Apply button, nothing happens. The theme files are downloaded to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps.
I also saw this in build 18305.

Yes, Woodyard! I'm pretty sure I had that problem in 18305; I've been trying to change my theme, but so far, none of what I've downloaded will work.

So, it's not just me, I guess.

Is there anybody who has problems with sticky notes?
When I try to open the app, appears a message with "loading sticky notes" and stays so.
Waiting for 5 minutes and nothing changes.

So you assume that all those insiders who have written comments in the Feedback hub or have upvoted those comments don't know how to solve problems with the drivers? I've been an insider for more than three years and I know how to solve problems with drivers, as I said in another comment, this is a problem with the build and, as with many other bugs, only affects some insiders and others not, if you have read the comments in the threads of other builds in recent years, you may have noticed that this is something normal, I mean the fact that one bug affects certain users and not others.

That may be true, of course, although we haven't seen it being mentioned in any of the release notes for any build. As with any other isolated bug, it could manifest in stable windows releases as well, as in some people dont have this or that working. What I am saying, is it does not seem to be too WIDESPREAD, or documented in release notes, even though does appear in feedback hub.
What could be happening is, some hardware configurations or bios versions are not compatible with recent windows changes, and as such might take a while to fix or find a workaround. As has happened to me in several pc's, one might try to disable deep sleep, s3, in bios, and only enable s1, shallow sleep, it might be a workaround.

Again, if you have read the release notes of the builds in recent years, you may have noticed that this is also common, two of the most known RS5 bugs in the task manager were present during many builds (the bugs started in build 17738), but Microsoft only mentioned it as a "known issue" in the build 17763, so the fact that a bug is not mentioned in the flight notes doesn't mean it is not present in the build and it doesn't mean that Microsoft is not aware of that bug.

Update took an hour and a half on my old machine. Sandbox is still not working though.

Same here, Swarfega.

Hi there

@CountMike

Thanks -- saves me doing the test

Anybody else though having trouble with installing themes from the store -- the ones previously installed work OK but I can't seem to install any new ones.

Not a showstopper though.

Update : you need to sign in (not to windows) but to the store with an Ms account and then it works.

Cheers
jimbo

Thanks, Jimbo! I thought I had signed in! So, back to the drawing board . . . I almost missed the solution!

Edit:

I tried again, but it looks like I'm already signed in and I can't find anything that looks like it's asking me to sign in. Supposedly installed, but no evidence of new themes anywhere.

Yes, others are having the problem, but I don't. Go figure . . .
