Hi Galileo,

I'm sorry, I hadn't seen your post. All the reason why a section for known bugs and temporary or permanent fixes would really help. You could search for the specific bug or add to the page.

No problem...... And, BTW, I agree with the concept of a known bugs and fix-its category...with identifiers for the builds/versions for which said bugs or fixes are applicable...Good - and useful - idea...

I was having problems installing this update until I uninstalled The Crew 2 and Conan Exiles, the only two games I have installed that use the BattlEye anti-cheat software. It may also have helped that uninstalling Conan Exiles freed 68 GB from my C boot SSD as well. Whatever, I was able to install the upgrade without any further issue and post-install everything seems to running exactly as before (this was an in-place upgrade from Build 17763.379).

The only minor bug I've come across is that the taskbar was refusing to display the Microsoft Store icon despite the fact that on right-clicking on the app in Start > Programs it was showing as pinned to both the Start menu and the taskbar. Unpinning then pinning again did not fix the issue.

This morning I noticed that the Store was finally showing but that the Settings icon, which I've had pinned since v1803 had disappeared. Yet this is showing as pinned to the taskbar and unpinning and repinning it does not fix the issue.

My guess is that Windows 10 v1903 only allows 8 app icons to be displayed on the taskbar: in my case I have the Start menu plus Search bar followed by Cortana, Task View, Microsoft Store (yesterday this was the Settings icon), Xbox, Groove, Photos, Film & TV and Mail app icons.

Sure, it's not a big deal as Settings can be accessed from the Start Menu or from the Search bar by typing settings but it's nevertheless mildly annoying to not be able to set up my icons exactly as I want them due to a silly bug.

Hi there
since these are presumbably test builds for Windows wouldn't it be better to separate these instead of into "fast / Slow / skip ahead" rings but Gamers, Tweakers/ developers and Enterprise/Business rings -- Windows can then gear the developments for the appropriate users.

Personally If I can have reliable fast Windows that works 100% for business, Network 100% reliable, Office functionality 100% reliable, security fine, and VPN / VM connections then that's all I want -- others who want to play Fortnite etc want the ultimate in graphics / cpu etc so their games work properly -- they probably couldn't give two hoots as to whether some business collaboration software doesn't work properly , while developers and "tweakers" want probably a version of Windows with all sorts of development hooks in it - that's where WSL and Sandbox should go. If you want a "mix" then you can always fire up any of these.

Windows is probably so massive now that supplying the needs of all these different types of users necessitates compromises if it all has to be on a single box -- personally I can't see the problem of splitting windows down --easier for Ms I should think and better for the users too - not to say that say an improvement in gaming might break something on a "standard" box so even better reason for splitting editions.

Having said all that though I find this build the most reliable (for what I use it for) so far and it actually works better than the standard current build so I'll push this one to the limit --I'm sure I can break something soon enough. !!!

Cheers

My point was it turned it ON after the upgrade when I had set it to OFF - LOL.

How difficult can it be to use the SAME setting during an upgrade?

I think that's the first time I've heard of that happening - congratulations!
