Mine and Phils not though.
You generally do a clean install, I don't think I should have to to fix something they so nicely busted.

This time, I just upgraded instead of a clean install, from 18305 to 18309. In 305, enhanced mode did not work, in 309 it's working.

@Kari : Do you have a virtual machine (Hyper V) running in enhanced mode with this build? If so that is excellent news.

I have several virtual machines on my 18309 host, enhanced mode working on all of them. However, I have not made a virtual machine running 18309.

That is where the problem is. If you get time to try this I would be interested in your result.

Maybe tomorrow I will give Reset this PC a try and nuke everything.
It'll be a good test as I have never tried this before

I don't have too much installed as this is just to try new stuff on, and well...
I run my "real" programs on the host

Oh, seems i've been out of commission for too long. A new build. Better get this one before I fall behind to much.

My version of feedback:
Attachment 219705

Hi folks

Even The Holy Ghost would have problems on finding the correct solution !!

Personally I'd suggest if they would just concentrate on say one thing at a time and fix that rather than adding loads of "features" that really haven't been asked for or even wanted I'm sure things would work out far better.

The way Ms are conducting these tests with problems all sorts of peope are getting - where some have them and others don't is probably one of the best "recruiting drives" that Linux desktops (any distro) has had for donkeys years !!!!

Actually though this build seems to be one of the better ones (at least on my system) although I wish the functionality of the sandbox had been "upped" a little -- major one is being not able to re-boot the sandbox as so much software needs to have a re-boot after installation -- if you can't re-boot then you can't test a whole slew of stuff. Also what about some registry changes - those usually require a re-boot.

Cheers
jimbo

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.

yes, on two computers. On two, loads as usual, but on two of them, I see the same as you.

I do not see this behaviour - sticky notes load as they have always done.

Just tried Sandbox again after leaving PC on for several hours and got a GSoD.

@jimbo45:
for registry changes on the fly, try in admin comman prompt "gpupdate /force", which will try to apply all policies and settings you have changed.

@To anyone having problems with themes not applying, I would suggest installing themesignaturebypass, which without breaking any system files allows for any 3rd party visual style to be applied, such as mac OS style, ubuntu style etc., for the entire desktop experience; not just simple themes from the windows store that change wallpaper.
On this page, browse to first post for Theme Singature Bypass attachment.

I have not seen an ill effect from enabling it on any windows version, including all insider builds.
But we insiders love to experiment...
