    Sigh... another example of Microsoft trying to shove Settings app down users' throats: I noticed that the Control Panel Sound applet was removed from the context menu of the speaker icon on taskbar. Does anyone know how to get it back?

    Not sure I understand you correctly. At the risk of making a fool of myself...…..
    Right click at the Speaker icon > Speaker setup > Advanced set-up > that should get your Sound applet back. Yes?

    Believe it or not it's deliberate. To quote MS. We have done this to raise the input box in the visual hierarchy.
    How this made it into 1903 as a default is beyond logic.

    Everytime there is a MAJOR Windows10 update, my monitor ends up with a 2 inch black strip on all 4 sides of the viewable desktop. In other words, the desktop shrinks. I have to go into Registry Editor and change some settings to make the desktop fill the monitor again. None of the built-in Windows10 settings, or my Samsung XL2370 monitor controls will accomplish this. Very strange.

    QUESTION: Has Windows10 Edge been given a setting that allows us to hold down the left arrow navigation button and instantly choose a page we were on earlier in the session, at any given website? (Like Firefox allows). I thought that capability was being added.

    It's a known issue which was fixed in an earlier build but seems to have returned.

    The bug happens immediately after restarting Windows, in my case, I can reproduce the bug easily, you just have to restart Windows and when the desktop appears you have to right click on the Start button and then click on "Apps and features", but this should be done immediately after restarting Windows, if you wait a few minutes, the bug can't be reproduce it.
    Thanks everyone for their suggestions and fixes, this forum rocks! I'm already on v1903 b18362.145 and the issue seems to have been fixed.

    Well, kinda almost. That combo doesn't exist on mine. @Ztruker had it, here is the convoluted path in pictures!

    I'm on Win 10 Pro. I guess there are a few issues with 1903 but I'm generally happy with it.

    I'm a real minimalist so just use a plain grey background on the login screen. As such the acrylic blur thing is a non-issue. No problems with anything else so far and once I got it tweaked the way I like it seems more responsive.

    I suppose I may come across something annoying but so far it's working just fine.

    This is my all-time favorite MS explanation and rationale. It's the one that gets Martin all fired up!

    "The translucent texture of this transient surface helps you focus on the sign-in task by moving the actionable controls up in the visual hierarchy while maintaining their accessibility."

    Techno-babble at it's finest, MS!

    Pretty much my same sentiments ( though after a system rebuild.) Working fine and I appreciate some of the new features.

    One weird thing it's done twice on boot... After I enter my password at the login screen, the picture of the login screen complete with my account and password box remain on screen as the taskbar pops up and the desktop becomes active. I have to hit F5 and the desktop picture comes up almost instantly.

    I do believe this started when I turned off transparency effects, so I'll leave it like this for a couple of days and see if the issue is resolved then report back.

    Must be governed by the device and driver you have. I have none of that, just a plain dirt-dumb Realtek.
