Also, recently, have had trouble with my clipboard--would copy simple text but find myself unable to paste it anywhere!

Interesting you mentioned this. I ran into the same problem but it is was with Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco). So I ditched that OS and installed Fedora Rawhide. It of course will have its own problems but not being able to cut and paste is pretty intolerable for me. Never saw that on Windows.

Me, either! Never have I seen it before in Windows--I think it had something to do with One Drive's interaction with this build--so as I mentioned, One Drive stays gone--& the problem has ceased...so nice of them to clandestinely let me "demo" the OD software [not] *cough*

OK. I am on Skip Ahead and the setting survived a reboot. Now what?

Prepare for builds which are *drum roll* even buggier than from the fast ring... In a hurry for more bugs?--"Skippy" takes you there...!

Yeah, but, we're perpetually bored!!!

Okie Dokie! Gotcha.

As an Insider both normal and skippy we test and report problem to MS. The problem is MS only hears what they want to hear. The October release is a good example.

I really have to say I had not a minute's worth of trouble from the October release...but...I wasn't running One Drive, either--or else an older, non-updated version of One Drive. From what I read about the October-release pulls and reissues, One Drive interoperability problems with the October update build were the chief culprits--problems I never did see myself, for obvious reasons. Ran like a top for me since the initial installation--but, again, I hadn't befouled my system with One Drive for many, many moons. A fact which dovetails nicely with this next bit...

Over the years the biggest bugaboo in Microsoft's ongoing software development strategy *cough* is the fact that the left hand never seems to talk to the right hand during build/feature/application development--and so weird, easily preventable problems like "Why doesn't this version of Office work with the latest version of Win10?" and etc. etc., ad infinitum--are always popping up here and there. Because--yes--the right hand really does *not know* what the left is doing inside Microsoft application development! For years in my younger days I frequently made the cardinal mistake of assuming that "they would never be so negligent and operate so carelessly" when it comes to the interoperability of their own programs running on their own OSes! Man, was I wrong!...;) It wasn't just egg but the whole darned chicken farm on my face in those days! Oh, yes...;) "They" would certainly do that and "they" have been doing that for years!

"Why?" is the most rational response. Why do they partition off each development team into its own light-proof, sound-proof partition during development, where the slogan is: see no other Microsoft program, hear no other, and talk to no other Microsoft development team in the interests of non-interoperability among Microsoft programs! Perhaps the Insiders program is Microsoft's answer--maybe so. User feedback of programs and operating systems can be a rich source of bug-smashing, but I still think a lot more cooperation among the various Microsoft development teams during key developmental stages would be even better!

Yesterday, because of the problems I described in an earlier post in this thread--I was "this close" to reverting to 18317. But since the obvious steps I took in trying to correct those problems seem for the moment to have borne fruit--I'm holding off. But, these days I feel no shame in either reverting or restoring from a backup I know works as advertised. None at all. I'm less inclined to hunt and peck around these days with these builds. Better things to do, I s'pose...;) Like pocket-pool *cough* or Mah-Jongg? Maybe try Reading Fundamentals Volume XXXVIV.4...?...Arrrgggghghghg...! ;)

As long as they get it runnin on all 8 cylinders and not just applying pin-striping!!!

Well, what I think is that some smart *** non-developer said the October release is good enough and we don't need the Insiders to test it . . .

Kinda like they did on Windows 8 . . . and we know what a disaster that was for almost everyone who upgraded to it!

Yes we do. MS should also stop trying to release new builds every six months. They should only release new builds to the general public when the new builds have been thoroughly tested.
