Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10166 Insider

I have the same situation here. I got 166 on the 4th day, after the release. It installed just great, but don't see any improvement in the way it works.
162 seemed to be the most change that I have seen in the overall system. So maybe I am expecting too much from 166.

Hi, I installed Build 10162 the day it was released. It's been 3 days now and no 10166 and I'm on the fast ring.

May want to give the Windows Update troubleshooter a try.

For anyone who finds PhotoShop too complicated the best free image viewer/editor out there is FastStone. Have used this wonderful program for many years. Works ok with W10.

Paint.NET and GIMP 2 are the generally accepted programs.

Anyone else think this build is worse than 162? I'm back to computer won't sleep issues! Sheeeeeeee

Nope. Perfect for me on three computers. Can't wait till everyone can get their hands on it!

mail works very well for me. i really like that i can put all of my different clients in the same app, and switch between them, with a preview on the right hand side. very convenient.
and i fixed my screen saver problem. if anyone else is having problems with their screen saver, just roll the driver back to 353.06. now everything is working perfectly. i think 353.30 has some problems in it.

I am trying to warm up to the Mail App. It works fine for my outlook.com account and my gmail account, but I can't use it for my personal ISP account (IMAP). It seems the Mail App just assumes that your username is whatever in front of the @ in the account email address. Unfortunately, my ISP uses the entire email address, @ and all, for the username. Mail App offers no way to specify a username, at least none that I can find. This continual oversimplification has gone a little too far, methinks.

If anyone knows of a workaround for this problem, I'd be very grateful. The Windows 8.1 Mail App works perfectly, BTW. It has a field for 'username' you can manually enter...

Did you go to settings, accounts enter your user name and the mail program will search and find settings and complete setup
