I think we need a new language option "En-MS", and google translate etc needs updating/resnapping/reflighting

.

En-MS language setting

where can I upvote this?

for all the non-MS language speakers, this En-MS term (upvote) denotes agreeing with someone's statement or position

Precisely I just got an update for the Store in Skip Ahead that changes the name to "Microsoft Store" and also changes the icon, these changes were already in the Release Preview ring because, for some reason, Microsoft sends the new versions of the Store first to that ring

Attachment 159321

I hate that I have to ask but how to you get to the "About Store"? I can't find it.

Store - 3 dots in upper right - settings - should do it

Yes - I understand that but I believe something is tangled up with settings, I do not believe it is MS's intent to keep two sub Rings going, and I think that they have not properly merged the Two Rings, and the differing results we are seeing is is due to buggy behaviour. That is why I am going to wait for next upgrade, to see what the situation is then.

I cannot see any point now Rings have merged NOT to give all users latest apps. It made sense before FAST Ring moved to RS4, as it was quite possible some of the latest apps would not make the cut for RS3. This is not the case now - it will only become applicable when RS5 is under development.

This is only my opinion. I think MS is slowly joining the two rings. When they are finished there will be no difference. If MS decides to continue the Skip Ahead Ring it won't be until the Spring/Summer release. To me the Skip Ahead branch was a waste and I'll be surprised if they offer it again.

Thank you 24c. I found it hiding at the bottom of Settings.

Don't feel bad. Even Cortana doesn't know. She sends you to the web!

I've had Cortana send me on a wild goose chase more than once. :)

I invite all Android users to Hello from Edge on Android thread. :)

I could not get it to work on my wife's Android tablet. It said it was not compatible. I guess it's for smart phones not dumb tablets.

I have seemingly solved my install problem with 17017 after more than a week. I have two WD 3.0 external USB drives. They both work flawlessly on FCU, 8.1, and all other builds of windows including all insider preview builds. But, with 17017, one works and the other gives me the volsnap.sys error message with green or blue screen. After I honed in on the issue, I unplugged it, moved it to another computer which has 17017 installed also. As soon as I plugged it in, I booted with a green screen and my friend volsnap.sys error message. Since I also have FCU on the same machine, I booted into that drive, it booted and had no problem with this drive. So, something in 17017 doesn’t recognize this particular drive, driver or ???
