Stop showing off

He must be letting Fred chase a new female cat in the wheel to boost his 'net speed again.

Fred only chases cats.:)

Cat is what I said.

Well, other issues showed up. Nearly all the various drivers for the printers, keyboard and T650 trackpad went south!

Trackpad was easy, got the Logitech software and all is good. Keyboard driver not going well. Been stuck at installing for quite some time now. Grrr... Wrong blasted driver! Everything works except the numeric keyboard.

Geez. All done. Got sidetracked with the OneDrive questions and looking for the Modern OneDrive app. Can't seem to find it. I hope they didn't eliminate it.

I think they did do away with it from reading the at the link in the first post to this thread. They are making the OneDrive folder just another folder on the computer.

I actually hope the modern version app comes back as it is very handy at times.

Hi there,

Installing now - will check in the morning if it worked > in case it hoses up I have taken an image to back it off.

cheers

Does this (from the Windows Blog) help?

I've not installed it yet myself so not tried it.

New ways to use OneDrive:

We’re also introducing changes to how OneDrive syncs your files in this build. In Windows 8.1, we use placeholders on your PC to represent files you have stored in OneDrive. People had to learn the difference between what files were “available online” (placeholders) versus what was “available offline” and physically on your PC. We heard a lot of feedback around this behavior. For example, people would expect that any files they see in File Explorer would be available offline by default. Then they would hop onto a flight (or go someplace without connectivity) and try to access a file they thought was on their PC and it wasn’t available because it was just a placeholder. It didn’t feel like sync was as reliable as it needed to be. For Windows 10, having OneDrive provide fast and reliable sync of your files is important. Starting with this build, OneDrive will use selective sync. This means you choose what you want synced to your PC and it will be. What you see is really there and you don’t need to worry about downloading it. You can choose to have all of your OneDrive files synced to your PC, or just the ones you select.

Also in Windows 8.1, there were multiple ways you could get to your OneDrive files such as through the modern OneDrive app or through File Explorer. We heard a lot of feedback around this as well. It wasn’t obvious exactly where to go for your OneDrive files. In Windows 10, we are providing people with one easy way to get to their OneDrive files – through File Explorer. To manage OneDrive, just right-click on the OneDrive icon in the notification area and click “Settings” to manage how OneDrive behaves. You’ll be able to adjust things like auto save, choose which folders are synced offline, and more.

If you have any feedback around these new OneDrive changes in this build – please let us know! Use the Windows Feedback app to let us know what you like or don’t like about the new design.

Well, I just tried for the latest build and I am told that there are none?
Is there any other way to get a hold of this release?

Hi there.

Download the ISO (there's a link to it) or ensure in the PC settings you've enabled FAST as the option for download updates.
