Announcing Windows 10 Insider Slow Build 17025 for PC Insider

Thanks for suggesting Clover. It took me several tries to down load and install it. ESet Security Suite kept trying block it. I like that I can now have tabs without a lot of features I'll never use.

Ditto, tabs are nice and I think the bookmark bar will be as well once I start using it. I like that it's still File Explorer.

One personal note. Today I reached my Biblical 3 score and 10. I've been fooling with these damn machines for 55 years. Here's hoping to reach 4 score years which will be quite a feat given all the stuff I've put in my over the years, both illegal and more deadly legal.

Contraptions on hitting the big septuagenarian!

Thanks. I believe Wynonna has us all beat in the longevity stakes.

Actually I should apologize to D.S. for disdaining the fact that 17025 was released to the slow ring. I have convinced my wife to let me install it on her machine replacing a dual boot openSUSE\Windows 7 system which is very long in the tooth. As those of you who have been married for awhile realize this is no small feet

What is relevance of size of your feet :-D?

I have a slight problem with this build, during installation of any program, there is no check box for any option it offers although some seem to react when clicked on appropriate line.

LOL! Windows Command Prompt is all I need. It is the only one that works, is reliable and fast, without any extra fuzz. Just a few added persistent path variable and I have all "shorcuts" I ever need. :)

If for some reason I must fire up my onedrive folder I type:

Code:

explorer %USERPROFILE%\OneDrive

...and BOOM I have my explorer window open at correct path.

Not last 2 times that happened to me, it wouldn't delete even from safe mode and W7 booted from another disk. Only thing that worked was from Linux.

Interesting, I have never had such issue for the past 25 years...

Well, it did happen to me few times, even with earlier windows versions. Almost invariably whet it's 0 size. If there's a file left than it's easy to see what's holding it up and unlocking file helps it but with 0 bytes it must be something in registry that's holding it up.
