New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast Build 18346 (19H1) - Feb. 26 Insider

Hi there

@slicendice -- hope this build works for you -- it's still horribly broken for me. !!!

IE11 Menus work on this build for people using IE11 but that's not a mega problem anyway. I use FF a lot.

Language settings are totally hosed up -- I did an update and it reverted to English -- cannot change welcome screen and display languages to icelandic on this build -- works fine on the standard (current build) -- Please Ms if you have display languages available do make them work !!!!

VMWare still hosed up when you try and connect an external USB2 / USB3 HDD / thumbdrive.

Bah !!!!

What's up Ms -- you spend loads of time adding essentially useless features that mainly business users would find either pointless or not worth installing anyway given a free choice but you don't get the basics right --- if you want to mess around with gaming stuff and mobile phone integration have another release of windows or upgrade Windows HOME -- professional users do use Windows for "Boring things like Work" actually !!!!!!

I don't mind having these types of errors on skip ahead builds -- but these insider ones (not the skip ahead versions) builds are presumably destined for the next standard update of Windows -- doesn't look too good from where I'm sitting.

Cheers

Latest build has integrated intel microcode, newest and bleeding edge, my haswell based proc is now microcode 40 and all spectre meltdown mitigations are fully in place, checked by powershell speculation control settings. Including speculative store bypass, and that's without any bios update.

I agree 100%!!! So tired of M$ wasting tons of time, effort and energy on crap, that only a small percentage of people would ever care about, while neglecting the actual OS parts and pieces to do it. Horrible development of this OS lately...

Updating to this removed the watermark. I don't use any software that modifies anything concerning that.

and after all this time still issuer with the x-fi creative sound cards. The lack of Support from Creative for these cards initially makes me believe this issue will never be fixed. Odd how in current version of Windows these cards work 100% (although with modified 3rd party drivers), wonder why there was a need to change how sound works again, or to change a working system. So many things in Windows 10 need fixing or tweaking, and now they have to potentially break sound.
