New Windows 10 Preview build 9879 available

I just found what could be a big issue for me. I can't log into my routers web interface. I get a screen warning that the web sites security certificate isn't valid, and no connect anyway option? In Windows 8.1 I get a connect anyway option. In Windows 7 I can just connect with no warning at all.

Did you click on More information it should then give you a choice to connect any way.

@alphanumeric, you might want to test the IE Enterprise Mode:

Enterprise Mode, a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 Update and Windows 7 devices, lets websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to emulate Internet Explorer 8, avoiding the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.

(From What is Enterprise Mode?)

The IE in 9879 is a new version; if you could connect to router admin panel in 9841 or 9860 this just might work. It uses the IE 8 rendering.

Here are the instructions to set up Enterprise Mode in IE: Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list

Something is not right with the power options.
I left my PC to take a shower and when I came back all my 4 monitors are OFF. So, I went to Plan settings to change it to "Never" but it was already set to "Never" (both display and sleep settings). But how come my monitors still go off? Screensaver is also set to "None". Anyone here have the same issue?

Absolutely, I thought I was going nuts as it keeps switching off the monitors in 2 different virtual machines on two different real machines. Loading it onto a real PC now to see if it still happens. It also shuts off and hibernates the VM without asking too.

Yes, did that, no connect anyway option. It just explains why you may get that message etc.

I've noticed that if I minimize my Slacker Radio App to the taskbar it stops playing the music? It doesn't do that in 8.1? Not sure about previous Windows 10 builds though. Open the Window for viewing and it picks up where it stopped. It pauses when minimized.

I have a similar issue with TuneIn Radio. In Windows 8 I could continue listening when locking the computer, in W10 it stops playing as soon as I press WIN + L to enter lock screen.

I seem to remember one of the Microsoft guys mentioning that some of the apps stopped working when "not in focus" some kind of system wide bug. I assume a fix is in the works that will no doubt break something else. I am not joking I used to test software used on TV's and it was a battle.

Here is the quote:
Some known problems:

As with the last build, you’re getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues. We’ll be publishing WU updates shortly to fix the first two, but the remainder will not be fixed for 9879.

• In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
• You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
• Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.
• Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
• There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.

I used gpedit to add it as an option from the tools menu, seemed easier than setting up a site list. It didn't do anything that I could see. I may play around with it some more tomorrow. I'm just not in the mood to mess with right now. Thanks for the suggestion though. My D-Link router has packed it in so I'm back to using my ISP supplied wireless router. I get the same message trying to log into it too. I just logged into it from my 8.1 desktop PC to turn the wireless back on.

In Windows 8.1 the connect anyway option is on that page, I don't even have to click more info. In 10 Enterprise its totally MIA. Anyway I going to take a break from messing with it for now. I'll play with it tomorrow some time.
