Edge will never be feature complete. MS will keep adding to it on every new build. It is better than IE but I like Fx 57

I have Fx (Firefox) installed, but I always go back to Chrome. I used IE up until IE 6 I think, then to Firefox for a few years, and been with Chrome for several years now. Good to have choices.

Thanks, Andre.

I'm not getting that (never had both > just Cortana) and haven't been for the last 2 or 3 builds. All of a sudden it changed in mine. Wonder if its some global Cortana setting, Edge setting, or some other setting. Let's start with > Which search engine do you use?

Go to Edge settings -> advanced and check let Cortana assists you..

No tweet from Dona yet that we aren't getting a new build today.

Not that I wouldn't appreciate a new build but I would like to test this build a few more days. So far I haven't had any problems. After I post this I'm going to check if the back button problem I had after posting with Edge is still there.

Edit: The back button worked. Hopefully what ever caused my problem is fixed. :)

Thanks again, Andre. Found that earlier, turned it on, and still get only "Search the web for whatever". I get "Ask Cortana about whatever" in my CU. Perhaps a clean install of this build might be the answer, but not sure if it's worth it. If I run into more bugs I may do that.

- does anyone have any further insights into why the proposed Windows10 Mobile build was rejected..?

Yep me too, exactly the same thing. I'm stuck on 16257 as well and can't get past it, have you had any luck yet?

No. I'm considering a clean install of 1703, followed by an update to build 16257. I have ISOs for several of the previous builds, but I'm not entirely confident in them at this point. Will let you know if I find a way around this obstacle.

How about:

Then

Run SFC Command in Windows 10 Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

no issues found, nothing to repair... the apps are still downloading and installing after every reboot... I even uninstalled Windows Store and didn't help, it's ridiculous.

I finally got in - had to roll back first to Creators Update ISO before I could go forward to this build.

Ha! I answered your first post before I saw this one. That gives me encouragement to do the same.

Then I guess a reset or a clean install would be in order. Personally I'd take f14tomcat's offer to PM him for the ISO download he gave in an earlier post to do a clean install.
