I see Microsoft announced the are making Cortana for Mac and Android too. WTF they can't even get it working in their own operating system and they are spending resources making it for Mac and Android == their competition? God I wish there was a real computer outfit besides Microsoft and Apple...

Yes we all KNOW it is beta. However it does get aggravating when you get a " feature " like Cortana working pretty well and a new build completely hoses it. It's like they slap a batch of code together and puke it out the door without testing it AT ALL. My Cortana, which was working well...

Yes it is 10122 ... I started with a clean install on a separate SSD a few builds back. I didn't get in on the first one, maybe first two. I do not dual boot. I reboot and go into my BIOS ( actually the new system E something can't remember right now but I'm high and it's bedtime ) and tell it...

Just installed 10122 and it went perfectly ( on my desktop ). Took less than an hour to download and install and it is running fine. Using it right now. Haven't tried Cortana or Edge yet, but so far I see no problems. I won't put it on my SP1 until the final release but I have it on a separate...

I just got a Windows 10 driver for my Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 video card!!!! I wonder if the final release is getting close since companies are finally ( apparently ) devoting resources to making Windows 10 drivers. They usually won't have their programmers devote time to making drivers if...

Yep, gathering a database of faces / names / etc. to turn over to the government so they can track people better with all the surveillance cameras.

Not intentionally / knowingly. I'll have to check.

My SP1 has quit playing videos in the browsers. Both IE and Firefox when I see a video like on Facebook there is no video ... just a blank spot where the video should be. It used to play them just fine. How can I fix this? I don't get any error messages.

Try disabling any unused audio applications. I was having many problems with Cortana and my video card had installed 3 audio applications. Why a video card installs audio is a puzzle but it did. One of which was Nvidia Miracast Audio. I disabled them -- because I use a Logitech Surround Sound...

Ah but this author is cheating. He is not using Miracast < ONLY > --- he is using Miracast ADAPTERS in order to get the job done.

I have had considerable trouble getting Cortana to work right. Some of it I traced down to some audio apps installed by my Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 video card. Why a video card installs audio apps is a puzzle. Once I disabled them, things got better. And, of course, with the latest build...

Well, I removed Chrome from all my machines but I have no problem with Spartan. I don't have a UHD monitor though just a poor mans HD :) Sometimes Spartan seems to open pages real fast and other times it is slow. I think it is the Internet ... not Spartan. But Spartan has so many missing...

Most of the tech " writers " are Ifruit fanboi's and they get to keep the gear Apple " loans " them if they write good stuff about Apple and bad stuff about Microsoft. The reviews are almost all blatantly biased and ( in my opinion ) paid for by Apple.

I agree, it would be most sensible to launch the SP4 with W10 installed. Once they announce it to the world, why would anyone go ahead and buy an outdated SP3?

Unfortunately, Microsoft still hasn't given us the means to lock down tile placement. Why won't they let us create a group of tiles and then lock the group so nothing in the group or the group itself can be moved until we unlock it? I hate it when the tiles get shifted round from where I had...

Installed 074 and Cortana STILL will not work for me. Dragon Naturally Speaking hears me but Cortana does not seem to. She will not speak my name either, or anything else for that matter. The little circular animation is activated but nothing else happens. My microphone is set at 1oo% for...

Thanks for the info and the link. I wonder why they aren't making more of a splash about this? It is like a well kept secret. I didn't know they had changed the name to Hello. Unless the equipment is outrageously expensive this should be a game changer in computers and give Microsoft a huge...

A couple of weeks ago we hear of W10 having Bio Enrollment where you could use your webcam for facial recognition so you could log onto your computer(s) without a password. Presumably it would also work when visiting web pages that require passwords. They said it could be found in the Store...

Geez ... this has been happening for so long I have no idea what I installed before it began. If you've ever used one of the old Xoom tablets ( mine still works ) they have multiple desktops and you just slide the screen from one to the other. This acts a lot like that. I have multiple...

It was on 125% so I put it on 100% doesn't make any difference.
