Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20221.1000 (rs_prerelease) - Sept. 23 Insider

Hi folks
Working for me OK -- so far !!!

Can't though connect to remote Linux desktops any more (command line via SSH OK though).

However for once this isn't a Windows or Ms problem currently -- the old VNC connection from Windows to Linux desktops (GUI desktop with windowed applications) relied on the remote Linux systems using as their GUI server (X-Server) the xorg video application -- newer distros use wayland which is not compatible.

Same problem on other builds of Windows so I'll just have to wait until the developers of various vnc server / client programs for Windows fix their applications. !!

Nice change to have a defect that's 100% not Ms's fault !!!!!

Cheers

Yup!
First my machine hung for hours! Then a forced shutdown, then automatic repair hung for hours!
Then no boot for a couple days!
Then the next day: RESTART NOW!

Hi folks
I don't usually mess around with W10 HOME edition but I thought I'd test one as a VM.

Installing Office 2019 on it comes up as Office/365 (tried uninstalling Office and re-installing at least 3 times).

Anybody else notice.

I usually use W10 pro Workstation edition - no probs with Office 2019 - I think also no probs on the "bog standard" W10 pro. Just HOME seems to have this problem.

@Edwin --you usually test these things to death -- have you got a W10 HOME edition to try out. !!

You can get an iso from UUPDUMP -- you don't have to immediately activate it (you can't do much user config with it but for a quick simple test it should work. Office can also be run for a few days before activation required.

cheers

Yep!

On Home:


On Pro:

Hi there @Edwin
I think you misunderstood the question - or maybe I wasn't clear.

Yes Office works but it starts up - try outlook for example -- as Office/365 !!!! (the start up dialog before the main application starts).

Can't post screenshot at the moment as I'm on a Linux laptop currently messing around with anoterr W10 VM to try and see if I can get W10 to logon to full screen remote Linux GUI -- Windows VNC server / client seems broken.

Cheers

I don't see it, I disabled the start up Splash Screen!
