Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 15019 for PC Insider

But when I change font size, the graphics are also changed in size and are still clear. I changed font size to 150 and it changes graphics to corresponding size.

Yes, it does...which is what I *don't want.* Obviously some people's eye-monitor combinations are less "sensitive" than others, but I cannot scale to 120% before the image blur becomes too ugly to use... (See "edit" below, however...you gave me the idea to try the preset instead punching in a custom value.)

When you use the scaling option you are *not* "changing font sizes"--you are *scaling* all screen elements by the same percentage--scaling them up. Big difference. With the old settings, I could leave my scaling set to 100% and separately change most Windows fonts from 9 points to 11 points, which is what I've done in every build since 10/2014. Can't do that any more--so I hope they put it back...doesn't make sense to remove a perfectly viable option like that. "Scaling" doesn't do the same thing at all.

Edit: In working with the scaling option, however, I have found that using the presets (125%,150%, etc.) seems to be far less objectionable in terms of image-element blurring than using a "custom" size (like 115% or 120%, etc.) So I'm going to stick with the preset of 125% for the time being and see how that works...before I roll back to 15014.

I killed it again:)
Then went into BIOS, because I did a BIOS upgrade last week, I have been slowly resetting everything to it's correct settings this week, including my overclock. Seeing virtualization takes place mainly in memory, I just cranked up my RAM from 2333MHz to 3008MHz(BCLK @ 100.25 and RAM frequency @ 3000MHz), lousy latency timings for games, but good frequency for video rendering and for virtualization.

So now I'll start the update process once more, go shopping, and see what I have when I get home.

That happens to me too, no sign of any activity in system monitoring, but then it's ready to install after a short while.

Brief observation....

When all appears to be doing nothing, taskmanager > Delivery Optimization is churning away. Here at around 14-15% cpu. No disk I/O, but the column "Other I/O" is quite active. "Other I/O" is basically IPC activity... Inter-process
communications. It's talking to itself and other system functions....occasionally TiWorker. It gets a mouthful of data and chews on it determining what pieces really need to be downloaded and applied. Eventually ( ), it downloads a little more and takes off with initializing. Quite a bit of time is spent in a state of "hurry up and wait".

Problem is. On a less capable machine that 14-15% becomes 90-100% for many hours.

That was my life style as a Cannon Fire Direction Specialist, in the Artillery

I do not know if this has always been there since I used to only use the "Make text size larger or smaller" settings, The two custom scaling screens:

Yeah, I just went shopping and got back, 15-20 minute round trip, and now have this:

OCing the RAM to match the CPU & Cache multiplier settings worked!
