Am I the only one who cannot see my activity history in search?

No, you're not the only one, the same thing happens to me.

Thanks for the reply I feel better it's not just me,

what about when you open settings, is it the old layout or new one with pic on top cause mine is the old settings layout?

How can I free the 7gb being used by reserved storage? I changed the registry setting but ....

These are the questions I'm asking myself lol

Cheers!

I just changed back to no reserved via the .reg, rebooted and still have it. I suspect it will take a new build to un-reserve it. Not just as simple as an on/off switch, least not at this time. Chunks of code logic and files to be dealt with under the covers. It's still a baby feature. When public, there needs to be/must be a user setting action to set/unset.

Same here I unset it in the registry and now waiting for the next build

If you are brave, you could do an in-place update with the 18834/18836 ISO and simulate it.

Assuming, of course, that the in-place upgrade actually respects the registry change and doesn't change it back....

Hello Steven,

It would only be available when WSL is enabled.

Hi folks

Themes work again on this build -- I don't like that sort of opaque one. !!!

Now :

You can have some reall good fun with WSL on this build -- if you can get an X-Server (for Windows) running you can install a load of windowed desktop GUI Linux programs including network access via SAMBA (actually that works when standard networking breaks too !!!.

You need to configure the X-Server for windows for multi windows and don't connect to a specific client. Start it and will then run in the background. Now simply open the ubuntu console and type the application you want to run -- window will appear automatically -- you need (at the moment) to open a new console for each application you want to run. I'm playing around with whether I can get a full blown desktop GUJI on this thing but I've made a start !!

Here's 4 Linux windowed programs running concurrently on WSL (File manager showing samba network connections, Deluge - a Linux bit torrent client, Grsync - backup type of program and I think people will know this one - spider !!!.

This is actually much more fun than I though possible and with a bit more tinkering it could be quite useful when you don't need a full blown VM !!!!

If people are interested I can make a tutorial on this once I've refined it a bit better. !!
