Something to be aware of. Chrome recently bumped versions too so Windows may not be the cause.

That may be, but I have the same version of Chrome with exactly the same settings in both build 15063.502 and build 16257 and in Creators Update this doesn't happen.

There is something happening to me in this build (and in the previous one), and I do not know if it is a new feature or a bug, if I shut down or restart my PC with a window of Chrome open, that same window open automatically when Windows starts, they are even loaded before entering the password on the lock screen, last night I turned off my PC when I was watching a video and today when I turned it on I started to hear the sound of the video on the lock screen, that surprised me.

Yeah, I've noticed that here too. It's actually kind of handy for me, as Chrome is the first thing I usually open anyway, but still pretty odd. I'm using the Canary build of Chrome (Version 62.0.3178.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit))

Fair enough. Just wanted to be sure.

I got "scared" when I started to hear the sound when I had not even entered the password, at first I had no idea where the sound came from, LOL, by the way, I have a fairly large speakers on the sides of my PC.

Sounds like a new toy to scare the hell out of your friends, on their Win 10 PC's with Chrome installed

When they leave the room, shut down their PC, after opening Chrome and YouTube

That's not quite what I meant.

Ok, I see now what you meant. I see no threat in PS.

I'm not liking the "Search the web for whatever" in Edge. Cortana with the right slide-out was better with instant results. I don't want another tab opened if I don't need to.

Hey, Bug Meister, have you got the US version of the weather forecast, the temperatures are in Farenheit.

You can toggle between the F and C for the scales. (Alt/Enter for keyboard) Although you can set the scale in its settings, I find it will remember your last choice on the opening screen.

Speaking of Weather App...I still can't change wind speed from KM/h to m/s...HATE IT!

OH, and amount of rain is measured in cm rather than mm!

With the Metric system you have a much better numbering system than here. You can’t move the decimal point over one digit? You should use/try the American system. Divide inches by 12 for feet in your mind.

Archaic!

No, that is an eternity project, will take quite some time.

What about what Cliff S has mentioned about failed updates in that it may create a recovery partitions? I don’t know the process enough to know when it creates them, but I would think that’s performed after reboot?

Windows users should keep using full PowerShell (Desktop edition), current version being 5.1 until Microsoft announces Core 6.0 support for Windows. In the future, Core will be the official version replacing Windows PowerShell.

Thanks for the info, Kari.
