Build 10041 -- NOK back to 9926
Hi there
Reverted back to 9926. TWO mega showstoppers for me.
1) START MENU totally hosed up again -- Brinks mod to get back the old menu from previous builds doesn't work. My installed applications don't appear on it and the search is TOTALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL. ===> NOK.
2) Activation woes -- doesn't like the serial number even when trying to enter via SLUI 3 command -- so Activation message appears every so often. ==>NOK.
While these don't seem mega issues in themselves it renders the whole OS NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE -- an OS as well as eliminating bugs needs to be USEABLE too. The ghastly start menu DOESN'T WORK AT ALL for me and the less said about the indescribably awful search - the better.
Hopefully Brink will come up with a mod for his tutorial to get the menu to revert back to previous versions.
Until people have got some fixes I'm passing on this build.
(Note I did an UPDATE from 9926 on a VM --- X-64 ENTERPRISE version).
For those who don't want to automatically install specific updates --- such as specific drivers --another bit of bad news (although not a total loss) - the trick to add the Windows update back to the control panel doesn't work in this release either.
Can't logon to my NETFLIX VPN -- keeps re-asking for password and account. VPN working 100% in build 9926.
The menu should look something like this (copied from earlier build to 9926) - shows my installed apps and a decent search. I've removed the metro junk --I'm on a desktop).
The newer one hoses EVERYTHING up on build 10041 - it can show (eventually) by alphabetical --but then it shows EVERYTHING whether it's an app or just an .exe file --total junk. Old menu screenshot shown below.
Cheers
