This is killing me...

Ten days to go and I still don't know what's going to be the build number! How can I continue living with this? What if it is not this 14393 I am using now? How am I supposed to use my Windows if I don't know what the build number of Anniversary Update will be?

My whole existence, continued use of Windows depends of this. Why are they not telling the build of Anniversary Update? How can I continue living not knowing it now? So many things depend on me getting to know what will the build be! Can't they understand? I can't eat, sleep, think, can't customize Windows, can't meet friends and relatives. I feel like if MS is wanting to make me crazy by withholding the Anniversary Update build number, on purpose, completely understanding how difficult my life will be not knowing it!

Windows sux! Long Live MacOSX!

Put out your Christmas decorations in the hall! That one busted a few guts, too!!

Totally trivial but cool little feature in Edge, works for me at least: If you let Edge with all its tabs open, not close Edge when you restart / sign out, Edge not only opens tabs that were open but also remembers tab history when you launch it after signing back in. In other words you can use mouse back / next buttons to continue surfing.

OP is on 14371 - maybe he cannot upgrade?

Re. lying comment - that is just silly of course.

Nah, he said he'd like to upgrade if 14393 is the final Build.

The lie part was my bad, I misread that tweet and I thought the insiders gonna get a new build on 2nd august.

I like to test new builds, but upgrading and setting everything up after a upgrade can take a few hours. I have a lot of stuff, some old peripherals and software that needs to be reinstalled and configured so I don't have the time or the will to do it every few days.

Oh, nooooooooooooo, you di'nt . . . didja really???

OK, so I'm guessing you don't have a dedicated Insider machine and that you're using your main rig to test with? If that's so, I do hope you have a really good backup program, such as Macrium Reflect.

If I've guessed right, and you only have the one system, why not do the Insider Update Builds?

See if this list of programs has yours, that you need, and then use PowerShell & chocolatey to automate their install in the background. @Kari or @Wynona can probably help you:)

Bite your tongue @Cliff S! I'm a babe in the woods with PowerShell, although I do love the way it helps me with certain installations.

Another cool feature, Bing, if like myself, an inquisitive person doing lots of searches, the Search History tab lists the exact dates and times going back as far as when the O/S was installed, even with Version 1511.

Nice!

Another thing possible in Edge and no other browser:
You can manually drag the top edge of the header to the top of the screen, (but Edge is not maximized), then you can "Wheel-close" numerous tabs quickly at the edge of the screen.

Also, if you bookmark a 'Blank Page', it will open 3 instances in new tabs when "wheel-clicking" the bookmark.

That was it! I am now officially using Edge as my main browser since about two hours ago :)

I only use one extension but that is for a heavy duty Office user a Gift from Flying Spagetti Monster (replace with your preferred heavenly geek):

Yet another extremely useful feature in Edge, drag the mouse across a word, place or expression, right click and ask Cortana.
Incredible the amount of useful info revealed.
